Theatre Reviews
Rialto Square Theater
My favorite theater is the Rialto Square Theater, located in Joliet, Illinois. This theater features a lot of big names without the big price tag that I had expected to find. For example, they have featured comedians such as Bill Engvall, and musicians such as Willie Nelson. The Rialto …
Bus Stop by William Inge at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival
If you’ve only seen the movie version of “Bus Stop” starring Marilyn Monroe, you really haven’t seen “Bus Stop.” The play is intense and engrossing. The movie version spends about two thirds of the movie giving background information. It is lonely the last forty-five minutes or so that is …
Romeo and Juliette: the Musical
Romeo and Juliette, being performed by a traveling production from France - must be a good performance, or so I thought. The lights were questionable, the costumes were down-right ridiculous, the acting left much to be imagined, and the classic part of the Shakespearean romance was left to the …
Mall of Asia 3D Cinemas
Mall of Asia (MOA) is the biggest mall here in the Philippines, it boasts of hundreds of stores and restaurants to choose from. Plus they have the famous IMAX theater which is a first here in the country. I didn’t know that they also had a 3D theater, so …
Next to Normal on Broadway
I should preface this review by stating that over the years, I’ve seen over 100 shows on and off Broadway. I’m a huge theatre fan, loving everything from the classics to the little known shows. I’ve seen my fair share of wonderful productions and complete embarrassments. I’ve also been …
The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare
This current production of Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” ad the Oregon Shakespeare festival is one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve seen several productions in the past and have enjoyed them all, but this was special because of G. Valmont Thomas as Sir John Falstaff, Knight.
This play was …
Screenville Cinema
It is absolutely the hottest place in the city if we talk about movies. For me, Screenville Cinema is the place to relax and unwind.
It may not be largest movie house in the Tagbilaran City but I surely believe that is …
The Lion King Broadway Show
I drove to Edmonton to see —˜The Lion King’ because a friend of mine had an extra ticket. I was not thoroughly convinced I wanted to see it, because although I loved the Disney movie, with the wonderful soundtrack from Elton John, I am not really a —˜play’ or …
Emmetsburg Riviera Theater
I am reviewing the small town Riviera movie theater, specifically located in Emmetsburg, Iowa. For years, this movie theater was supremely outdated, run down, and unattractive. Recently, it got a huge makeover. The sound system has been updated so movie goers can officially hear base. In regards to the …
Pipeline Theatre Company’s “Psycho Beach Party”

Shakespeare Theatre NJ - Henry VI: Blood and Roses
Henry VI: Blood and Roses was an amazing production that captured the art of the theatre and Shakespeare’s timeless histories. Entering the theatre, one would be intrigued by the props and outlook of the stage. A mysterious feeling overtakes the scenery even when the play has not started yet. …

Pacific Winnetka 21 Theater in Chatsworth

Federal Building Bellingham Washington
In the Federal Building on Magnolia Street here in Bellingham, Washington is a little know, little used courtroom. I love it. It’s beautiful. In this day when many courthouses are being replaced by modern courtrooms full of video equipment and computers, this one stands out. The courtroom is made …
Springfield, MO Palace Theater
I have been going to the Palace Theater for 15 years and taking my own children for 10 years. I love this theater because it seems to care more about the customer than making a quick buck. The ticket price has risen once since I …

Mission Valley cinema Raleigh NC
Mission Valley cinema gets all the great blockbuster movies, and is located just a short walk from NC States campus.

When I opened the surprise present my husband had excitedly produced on my birthday, my heart sank - tickets for the whole family to see The Mouse Trap at London’s St Martins Theatre. I am not a great lover of Agatha Christie and the thought of having to sit …
Civic Center Music Hall, Thelma E. Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre
I recently attended the Lion King theater production at the Civic Center Music Hall. Overall, I was pleased with the experience I had. There was ample parking outside of the building, and the ground-floor entrance was well-lit with a handicapped access ramp. Once inside, I found the Civic Center …

Southpark 7 movie theaters

Lyric Opera in Chicago, IL
I have been to Lyric Opera of Chicago twice. The first was for L’Elisir d’Amore, or The Elixir of Love, in March of 2010. The second was for Carmen in March of 2011. The Lyric Opera is a very prestigious opera house, and for good reason. I thought both …
Rogers Cinema
I don’t normally go to the movie theater here in town. But, this past weekend was our anniversary and I didn’t want to just take my wife to dinner and be home by 7. So, we decided to splurge a bit and I took her to see a movie …
Taipei Eye (traditional Chinese theater)
Some cities have tourist spots named cityname-eye such as Singapore-eye, London-eye, Tokyo-eye, etc. All of them concern with vertical giant wheels equipped with seats with which people can experience seeing the view from the height. But Taipei-eye is different. It is a place where you can enjoy traditional Chinese theater.
The …
Wicked (spoiler possible)
Oh my. If you love The Wizard of Oz, or just want a good night out, go see Wicked !! It is one of the most amazing musicals I’ve been too. Even men should love it. It opens with Glenda coming down on her ‘bubble’ and then tells the …
Barleen’s Arizona Opry Dinner Theater
There’s a bit of a stigma which Arizona carries about the age of its citizens. Simply put, many people in other states view it as an oversized retirement community because of the healthy dry air and abundance of sunshine. Barleen’s Arizona Opry derives all of its success from this …
“Oleanna” by David Mamet
I am passionate about Drama so when I was a drama student and found a passionate monologue from “Oleanna” by David Mamet, I fell in love with it. Honestly, though, it was not easy to interpret the monologue because I had never read the full play so recently …

My Springer Opera House Guided Tour started off when I walked through the old, antique laden corridor of the box office, adjacent to the grand lobby. I was greeted by a gray haired, pleasantly perky man who was very cordial and made excellent conversation. I quickly informed this guide …
Les Miserables play
The most amazing play that I have seen on broadway two times is Les Miserables. In my opinion, this profound work of art, could even be appealing to people who do not tend to have a flare for seeing plays. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that …
Shen Yun Performing Arts
The Shen Yun Performing Arts show is a series of Chinese dances and performances, strung together with a common theme: “Falun Dafa is Good”.
Before I begin, I think it is only fair that readers know I was not keen on going to see a Chinese drama/ballet. …
