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 …

Wicked the Musical

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 For years, this movie theater was supremely outdated, run down, and unattractive.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 …

Pride and Prejudice
This version of Pride and Prejudice (wirtten by Jane Austen, starring Keira Knightley) has a wonderful artistic feel to it. The period, the buildings, the dress, the music, all flowed to bring out the emotions and drama so beautifully written by Ms. Austen. The relationship between Miss Elizabeth Bennett …
RENT The Broadway Tour

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.

Barleen’s Arizona Opry Dinner Theater
