Encore Stage and Studio opened the musical Honk, Jr. Friday evening.

Synetic Theatre never fails to impress with its art and creative invention…venerating the past and exploring the future of creative endeavors.

One attraction of the stage musical Les Misérables is that it is so remote … and so immediate.
