BWW Review: TRAILER PARK Trashes Gleefully!

The final installment of STAGEright's "Find Your Light" season is the uproarious white-trash lampoon, THE GREAT AMERICAN TRAILER PARK MUSICAL, by Betsy Kelso and David Nehls. Concerning the rather sordid lives of several denizens inhabiting a southern Florida trailer park, the show touches on as many hilarious stereotypes as it can cram into its 95-minute length. From double-wide mobile homes and mullet haircuts to stripper bars and pole dancing, it's all there… about the only thing missing was pimento cheese on toasted Wonder bread. Featuring an appealing cast under the direction of Jay D. Irwin and with music direction by Josh Zimmerman, the show is a toe-tapping, crowd-pleasing diversion for a sultry August evening.

BWW Reviews: Lungfish's SOPHIE Long on Heart, Short on Intent

Pass the cigars around; it's the birth of a brand new theatre company. Lungfish Productions has just arrived and is currently presenting their first show, "Sophie" by Bryan Willis, as their first staged production over at The Downstage Theatre. And while the play itself didn't leave me reeling, you can definitely see in it the dedication and potential of this fledgling company.
