    The Dutch Apple's production of A Christmas Carol is a great piece of festive entertainment.  Although it doesn't set out to reinvent the story in any significant way, many audience members will  appreciate the tradition and familiarity that it brings.

Lancaster City was hit with a record setting, half foot of snow earlier in the day. While dozens of other local businesses closed early. Marc Robbin and his team made the call to heed the show's advice, faced adversity, and put on one Hell of an opening night!

Little Shop of Horrors plays now through November 11.  It is an enjoyable night of community theater

Currently, the are housing the Reverie Actor's Company's production of The Man Who Came to Dinner which is a funny and refreshing classic from Broadway's past.

The Mystery of Irma Vep...is all tricks and no treats. It is 120 tedious minutes of screeching, gasping, and hammy acting.

The 24 Hour Plays: Lancaster is a special night of experimental theater where six writers, six directors, twenty-four actors, and a production team come together to write, rehearse and produce six plays over the course of 24 hours!

Dan Deal has been an active part of the Lancaster theatre community for more than 20 years. He is a long-time member of the Story Team at Sight & Sound Theatres where he has helped to produce and direct many shows in both their Lancaster and Branson, Missouri locations. He has spent much of his time outside of Sight & Sound engaging with local organizations and has performed in or directed for numerous churches, museums, schools, and theatres, including The Allenberry Playhouse, Lancaster Bible College, PRiMA Theatre, Rock Ford Plantation, Row I Productions, Servant Stage Company, Theater of the Seventh Sister, The Ware Center and even the Mayor's Tree Lighting.

H-MAC should be commended for bringing this important show to Central Pennsylvania. It's themes of fear, intolerance, and distrust of others are more relevant now than ever.

Last spring, I stated that Fulton's Hunchback of Notre Dame was worthy of several Broadway World Awards. This fall, I am willing to state that Treasure Island is worthy of Broadway.

Despite some flaws in consistency and pacing, Sister Act is a fun show. I applaud Dutch Apple's decision to produce material more contemporary.

An Evening with Groucho proved to be a perfect reminder of how a single individual can make or break your night at the theater.

Swing! is a relentless, two-hour extravaganza that celebrates the best of the fast-paced dance music of the 1930's and 40's

Broadway World had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Amy Marie McCleary, the double-threat director/choreographer for Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre's production of Swing! which opens Thursday August 9th

The 39 Steps is a prime example of big things coming in small packages. The cast of four expertly portray over 150 characters in a show with aspects of espionage, mystery, thrills, and comedy...lots and lots of comedy.

While Susquehanna Stage Company celebrates its birthday, The Music Man serves as a great gift to the audience.

She Loves Me doesn't employ splashy chorus numbers or elaborate choreography. It is designed as a character piece, and does without a lot of traditional musical theater bells and whistles to tell a more honest and realistic story.

I doubt many people think watching a play influenced by the works of Anton Chekhov would be the definition of "fun". However, they would be wrong, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike playing at Gretna Theater is a hilarious way to spend the day.

Through a combination of both some old fashion singing and dancing and modern special effects, the show promises something for everyone.

Killer Queen were the first tribute to emerge to Queen way back in 1993, read our interview!
