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 …

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 …
Wicked The Musical
After reading the book several years ago, I was very excited to experience Wicked the Musical in all its splendor on Broadway. My boyfriend knew how interested I was so he purchased us tickets as part of my Christmas gift. This was truly a memorable night.

Mountain Dew Soda
To be honest, Mountain Dew Soda is not my style. I’ve tried it, and I don’t like it. It has an odd citrus flavor that is terribly unappealing, and it looks like something I can’t write about. There’s nothing I like about Mountain Dew Soda, except …

This play is simply stunning.

Interchangeable Parts’ Rocky Horror
Every Saturday night at 11:30 p.m., the freaks of Florida somehow find their way to The Beach Theatre for their weekly dose of Rocky Horror. I blame extensive advertising during shows and on the Interchangeable parts website, http://ip.rhps.org/.
The theatre is seedy, the popcorn is stale, and I’ve never …
