Review: A 1940'S CHRISTMAS CAROL at The Musical Box Theatre


by Sandra Harberger - December 13, 2024

What I loved about the show was the way you felt transported back to 1943 as the live audience for the radio broadcast complete with an “applause” sign that lights up when it’s time to clap. You got to see how they made sound effects on air, and Mathew Szekeres did a great job as “Buzz” with all the...

Review: CONEY ISLAND CHRISTMAS at DreamWrights


by Sandra Harberger - December 07, 2024
