by Lisa Croce On Friday night, I had the opportunity to see the opening night performance of Witch  at Player’s Club of Swarthmore. This performance took place in their 2 nd  stage space, which is a smaller black box space. The play leant itself to the intimacy provided by this environment. Seating was limited, so I recommend getting there early to get the best seat and view of the action. Additionally, we were not advised that there was no intermission before the show start

by Meg Bryan We all can name at least one book we were made to read in school that has stuck in our heads for the rest of our lives. Those classic stories like The Outsiders, Old Yeller, 1984, Catcher in the Rye, and many more were integral to our learning experience as children. However, the one story that has stuck with me personally the most was when my class read One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest  in high school. Every turn this story took had terrified and rattled me to m

by Stephen Kreal On Saturday, March 21 st , I attended a performance of Funny Money , produced at Playmasters Theater Workshop in Bensalem PA. Playmasters is located in Neshaminy State Park.   Funny Money  is a well-known farce written by playwright Ray Cooney (“master of the farce”). It premiered in 1995 at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End, and enjoyed a successful two-year run. Among Cooney’s other famous plays are Run for Your Wife  and  Two into One. Funny Mon

by Mike McKeon Anyone remotely interested, as well as those with no interest at all in D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) needs to see this show.  As a slight D&D “geek”  myself I would be lying if I said I haven’t been excitedly awaiting She Kills Monsters .  Just the idea of the show sounded fun to me as I tried to imagine different ways how anyone could bring D&D to life on stage. I must say, Ritz Theatre Company in Haddon Township, NJ went far beyond my imagination and their produ

by Ash Kotter I can say with confidence that theatre enthusiasts typically first meet Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House  in a classroom, as a staple of dramatic history, as something you read to discuss later and analyze. And, rightfully so, considering its cultural context: Ibsen wasn’t exactly being subtle in dramatizing a wife walking out on her husband and children in 1879. I probably read this play in high school. I’m sure I definitely  read it in college. Could make a stro

by Amber Kusching “Sometimes a revolution needs a woman’s touch.” Four bold women—playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, ribbon-loving Marie Antoinette, and the Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle—team up in a wild, feminist comedy set amid the Reign of Terror. As they plot, spar, and even murder Marat, they battle the rising madness of 1793 Paris. Blending history and fantasy, this sharp, irreverent play explores violence, legacy, activism, and sisterhood—part t

by Deitra Oliver Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? Uncomfortable in your own skin? Have you ever thought it would be easier to let someone else lead and take the backseat in your own life? Ever wondered what you would do in the event of a zombie apocalypse? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be just the right candidate for a SQUIP (Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor) or, more realistically, a ticket to see Be More Chill  at The Players Club

by Michael McKeon This past Saturday I was able to visit my favorite South Jersey community theater, The Blue Moon Theatre. I love everything about this little theater, including the beautiful scenic drive I get to enjoy on the way there. I had the opportunity to see The Blue Moon Theatre’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest  directed by Stacey Bachman  and Assistant Director Mike Russell .  The Importance of Being Earnest  was written by Oscar Wilde in 1894 and d

by M. Smith A night of mystery, intrigue, and a planned murder?! This is what awaits you at the Kelsey Theatre with Bear Tavern Project Productions rendition of Clue: The Musical . I got the chance to see this show last weekend, and truly experienced a wonderful production that brought back fond memories of playing the board game with my family. Similar to the game, the audience chooses three cards at random to begin the game: the suspect, the weapon, and the location. Thus
