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 …

Pride and Prejudice
This version of Pride and Prejudice (wirtten by Jane Austen, starring Keira Knightley) has a wonderful artistic feel to it.

Pirates of Penzance by Seattle G&S
I love the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. That’s not something people normally admit in polite company, but it’s true. If there were a 12 step program for G&S (that’s what those of us in the know call Gilbert and Sullivan), I’d be eligible to attend, but I wouldn’t. I …
