Review: THE CAMPERVAN at The Pumphouse, Takapuna, Auckland
The play boils society down to two sorts of people: the ones who are focused on the accumulation of more, and the self-serving leeches who survive off those who accumulate. The audience starts by laughing at the characters but leaves wondering if we were laughing at boldly painted versions of ourselves. This play deserved its sell-out season. Look out for more of Burnett's work and book quickly!
BWW Review: BEETLECREECK al TEATRO ARCILIUTO
Ci vuole molto coraggio a portare in scena un romanzo così controverso come Beetlecreeck (in italiano Festa a Beetlecreeck) . Lo ha fatto Gaby Ford dell'English Theater of Rome con la collaborazione della John Cabot University of Rome.
BWW Review: THE CHRISTMAS REVELS: A Long Tradition of Community Forged Through Music
From what I can tell, THE CHRISTMAS REVELS is one of those much-loved traditions that people look forward to revisiting year after year, like a performance of THE NUTCRACKER or A CHRISTMAS CAROL, or taking the kids to see Santa Claus. However, unlike those other holiday seasonal shows, the REVELS is billed as a celebration of the winter solstice, and it not only allows, but encourages (requires?) the audience to participate in a number of singalongs throughout the program. This year marks the 49th annual REVELS, but it was my first experience, which caused me to wonder what took me so long. Each year features a different cultural theme and this year's journey takes us back to the 1930s, to Dust Bowl-era America.

Stellar Scholars David Reinstein has polished his musical masterwork, Anthem for Israel Live Read StoryTube on YouTube for a concert performance. New York City's Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall as well as Detroit's audiences at Orchestra Hall are in for a night to remember.
Lauds Stellar Scholars President Ashley Sword said: "We could not be prouder of David. Anyone who has listened to his StoryTube lively KLICK KLOCK on YouTube live read with my presentation is in for an absolute treat! David has pulled out all the stops in its world class debut. His Anthem for Israel is a superlative tribute for Israel which we and our celebrity and regular loyal Scholar listeners hope sincerely will become the country's 51st star on our Grand Old Flag as George M. Cohan would call it! David will step on stage and flourish his baton for strings (with first violinist Harry Hovaksimian), french horns, guitar, piano and drums for audiences at New York City's Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall and Detroit's own Orchestra Hall; they are in for an absolute treat."
Music is just one of the several gifts Stellar Scholars relishes in showcasing, which includes the very popular Country Music stylings of Dee-troit's Paul Lubanski and Johnny Johnson as well as multi-talented Catherine Grimshaw.
"Plus our now-famous, exclusive StoryTube live reads on YouTube which are driving our sister sites Stellar Romance and Saints and Scholars to doubling our eagerly anticipated page visits on YouTube in an astounding ten months!" said Ashley.
Moreover, the Stellar Scholars has their Wild Golf (Wilderness Golf) Bettie Page Charity Open for Breast Cancer Survivors coming next month.
"And I'd better mention our two new Stellar Novellas! I guess we've earned that nickname Women and Men of Wonder and we have our much appreciated following and YouTube to thank for that," said Ashley.
