Review: THE LARAMIE PROJECT at DreamWrights
by Sandra Harberger - Nov 9, 2024
DreamWrights is presenting the award winning play, “Laramie Project,” from November 7th to 10th under the direction of Rodd Robertson. The 22 cast members for “Laramie Project” used simple costume changes with a minimal set design to portray 78 different characters in a series of interviews between Moisé Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project Company. Each member carried multiple characters utilizing their strength with different accents and body language. A broad range of emotion and attitudes from both sides of the spectrum was expressed.

Review: DIAL M FOR MURDER at The Forum Theatre
by John Dalton-White - Nov 12, 2024
Being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s works, I was eager to see The Forum Theatre’s production of acclaimed Jeffrey Hatcher's new adaptation of Frederick Knott's Dial M for Murder. Hatcher’s adaptation of the classic suspense thriller pays homage to the original and is a smart, tight, compelling update of Knott’s tale of jealousy, deception, and homicide. For those who have been fans of all things Hitchcock, The Forum’s production of Dial M for Murder will hit every nuance. From the dangling burning cigarette to the ever-present liquor cabinet and the constant pouring of whiskey or brandy.
Review: WICKED at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - Nov 8, 2024
Dear Readers, something struck me last night while watching the juggernaut musical “Wicked”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. No, it wasn’t a flying monkey. It’s just how incredible this show is. It’s withstood the test of time ever since it’s Broadway premiere back in 2003 even though it didn’t win the Tony for Best Musical (that year it went to “Avenue Q”). It’s still running on Broadway, there have been tour after tour, and now we even have a huge blockbuster movie version coming to theaters in a few weeks. But why? For that answer I think we should take a look at this current run which, while not my favorite viewing of the show, still exemplifies what makes this show great.

Review: RUTKA at Playhouse In The Park
by Ana-Brit Asplen - Nov 8, 2024
Rutka is a new musical that adapts the diary entries of a young Jewish girl's final months before being killed in 1943 in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Featuring an original indie-rock musical score, Rutka finds the balance of telling a nuanced account of her adolescent experiences while growing up in a time of terror and isolation.
