SnowGlobe 2018 Big Air Highlights Regional Professional + Amateur Skiers + Riders
The 8th Annual SnowGlobe Big Air, Lake Tahoe's largest man-made feature, highlights over two dozen pro and amateur skiers and snowboarders from across the region. Athletes will drop out of the darkness on a scaffolding tower, coming down and hitting a jump launching over 30 feet above the crowd. As they throw down 540's, 720's, corks and a variation of flips, spins and grabs they fly more than 40 feet in distance with the creative SnowGlobe lighting pointed right at the athletes, resulting in the most unique visuals you've ever seen at a music festival. This year's sports exhibitions will also include a rail jam feature to showcase the full spectrum of talent these athletes have to offer.
BWW Review: Ensemble Casts Impresses in RING OF FIRE at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre
The infamous 'Man in Black' certainly has the legions of fans that merit a musical about his life, but you don't have to be a big Johnny Cash fan to love Ring of Fire. The show, onstage now at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, walks audiences through his life song by song; starting with his childhood in Arkansas all the way through the Grand Ole Opry days and then his struggle with substance abuse.

BWW Reviews: You 'Can't Help Falling In Love' with ALL SHOOK UP at The Arundel Barn Playhouse
On August 16, 1977 we lost an American music and cultural icon: Elvis Presley. But, he has never truly left us. His memory endures with the vast amounts of music he recorded, the movies he made, and his likeness being used all over the planet. You would be hard pressed to find someone in this world that has never heard of Elvis Presley. With tribute artists performing in his likeness and multiple festivals around the world attracting fans of every age, it's no wonder that his music was lent to a Broadway musical. And just in time for the 36th anniversary of his passing, The Arundel Barn Playhouse's ALL SHOOK UP will help you relive yesteryear and maybe even hear the King's music in a completely new way.
BWW Reviews: SHREK THE MUSICAL at the Arundel Barn Playhouse; New England Premiere Lets its Freak Flag Fly
There are many challenges that face a theatre who chooses to mount such a difficult production. First and foremost are how to bring these iconic characters to life as realistically as possible, while still showcasing the actors underneath. Second is how to present the various locations presented in the piece (SHREK'S swamp, the castle in Duloc, Fiona's tower, etc) in a way that not only is appropriate, but can easily be changed to the next. The show has now made the jump to regional theatres around the country, and the Arundel Barn Playhouse is the first theatre in all of New England to present it. It's a lot to undertake, but the Playhouse rose to the occasion, and I think you will be quite surprised and delighted at the results.
BWW Reviews: CHICAGO at the Arundel Barn Playhouse is 'All That Jazz'
"They'll love you a lot more if you hang. You know why? Because they'll sell more papers". When Bob Fosse, John Kander and Fred Ebb presented their jazz-aged masterpiece for the first time in 1975, I doubt they could foresee millions of people tuning in for highlights on the George Zimmerman trial on every major network. Nor could Maurine Dallas Watkins have any way of knowing that her play (CHICAGO is based on it) would be so topical for years to come, after writing it in 1926. But, nearly 90 years later, with trials on every channel and our justice system often in upheaval, it seems to be more relevant than ever. And the Arundel Barn Playhouse's production of CHICAGO proves just why it has endured.
BWW Reviews: THE ANDREWS BROTHERS at the Arundel Barn Playhouse
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. An instantly recognizable song to 99% of the English speaking world. The female group that made the song famous, even more recognizable and beloved: The Andrews Sisters. Champions of the USO, and perhaps the most famous singing group of all time, The Andrews Sisters sold more than 90 million records in their career, and sang to troops all over the world, raising moral and warming hearts from the East Coast to the Pacific Rim. So, you may be asking yourself why the show is called The Andrews Brothers. Ah....the magic of live theatre.
