Review: THE HELLO GIRLS at Beavercreek Community Theatre


by Brennan Paulin - July 01, 2024

It has been 5 years since I last saw a production at Beavercreek Community Theatre. It didn’t hit me until writing this, but it was June 2019 when I saw CABARET at BCT, and it’s a little baffling to me that it has been that long....

Feature: Burgers from Five Guys? Nah! Quiche from Five Lesbians? Yeah!
