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.

Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Rarely does the Oregon Shakespeare Festival stage a non-Shakespeare play on the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre. I was privileged to see a production recently. I’ve seen Cyrano before live and enjoyed the play, but it wasn’t a favorite of mine.
On the night I attended Marco Barricelli, cast as Cyrano, was …
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 …

Walnut Street Theater Philadelphia
I just visited the Walnut Street Theater for the first time today to see Les Miserables. The show was fantastic, so if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend seeing it at some point. As for the theater,it was slightly smaller than I had expected, but it was a …
King John by William Shakespeare

I loved …

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 …

Portland Center Stage, The Armory Theater
The main reason I love this theater is for its location. For years this was an abandoned armory, on the historical registry but empty. Finally someone who I cannot name not out of secrecy but out of ignorance bought this location and restored it. This …
