Visually stunning, morally stark, and beautifully told, this reincarnation of Jekyll’s battle with his dark side is like none seen before.

Port Tobacco’s To Kill a Mockingbird was a well-performed, insightful story about the good and evil in people.

Black Watch is a harrowing, disturbing, and ultimately enthralling piece that will make you question many of your world views, yet reaffirm your faith in the indomitable human spirit.

Silver Spring Stage provides a strongly acted and well-paced view of the destruction of a presidential campaign.

De Mare is a dynamic pianist, with technique and musicianship to burn. He is equally at home in quiet, lyrical passages and big, fast, technically demanding pieces.

Director Shawn Byers keeps the pace of the multiplying complications spinning along smartly. The eight-person cast displays excellent comic timing, making the best of Cooney’s frequent laugh lines.

And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson was a somber show with occasional laughter, and perhaps some tears will be jerked when emotions run high, but overall was well performed.
