Keegan Theatre A Behanding in Spokane

By • Mar 20th, 2013 • Category: Reviews

“Uproariously funny” aptly describes the result; the audience was, indeed, in an uproar of laughter from start to finish.



Elden Street Players The Seafarer

Victorian Lyric Opera Company Iolanthe

By • Feb 25th, 2013 • Category: Reviews

While perhaps not quite as well-known as the “big three” of Pinafore, Pirates, and Mikado, Iolanthe is arguably Gilbert and Sullivan’s most completely satisfying work.

The Olney Theatre Center’s production of Spring Awakening is simultaneously charming and mortifying.
