Review: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE at the Baxter Theatre Centre Is Powerful, Political and Poignant
by Jaime Uranovsky - September 27, 2024

Review: METAMORPHOSES at the Baxter Studio Is Liquid Food of the Gods
by Jaime Uranovsky - September 06, 2024
I’ve loved Greek mythology since I was little. This probably had a lot to do with Rick Riordan’s fabulous Percy Jackson series.
