Review: PETER AND THE STARCATCHER at Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko - Feb 10, 2025
Mention author J. M. Barrie, and the immediate thought is Peter Pan. Peter Pan, the tale of a boy who refused to grow up, which has become a cottage industry. Dolls, movies, a musical play, coloring books, cartoons, Halloween costumes, a non-musical play, and books are all available. There is even a psychological condition, “The Peter Pan Syndrome,” which puts the spotlight on men who refuse to assume responsibility for their boyish actions.

Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM at GREAT LAKES THEATER
by Roy Berko - Oct 9, 2024
William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest Western world playwright of all times. In spite of this, many are reluctant to see a production of his plays. Why the hesitance?
