 A mad adventure of the unpossible sort!  When The Hatter is not himself his friends become gravely concerned; so, Alice is called upon to return to Wonderland in an effort to save him. As it is a past tragedy which has vexed her dear friend, Alice is compelled to undertake a most dangerous quest through time. And, one ought to be especially careful when traveling into the past... or

 A Mighty Epic!  The Avengers have hunted the globe for those who have made war against liberty and escaped justice. There has been much collateral damage, innocents have died. Nations unite demanding accords and many heroes agree to be so sanctioned. But, Captain America will not be chained... especially when a hero is wrongly blamed for murder!  This film is brilliantly written

 Dynamic with future promise!  1983, a time of excess and progress, when the distant past has been reborn to conquer, command and destroy! Humankind has feared Mutantkind for twenty years. Now, it would seem their fear is justified. An ancient evil is risen; and so, will rise a modern force to defeat it... but can any force stop an apocalypse!?  This film is masterfully written

 Not your typical tale of virtue.  In 1923, Connecticut, a gruff, often drunk, father’s scheme to save the family farm is fouled when his wanton daughter’s heart is set upon a womanizing man with dreams of returning to his former city life.  This play is well directed with an excellent story, brilliantly set and well performed. Kate Forbes and Mark Lambert are outstanding.

A terrific thrill! True villainy is often unrecognized in the light of day and monsters thrive at night. Twenty years ago, from tragedy, a vigilant nightmare was born. Eighteen months ago, terror fell from the heavens. Now, deadly menace is threatening, people cry for justice, the world is in conflict, and heroes battle against impending doom...! The intrepid reporter, Lois Lane is determined

Curious and stunning from the first moment!   A young woman in Taipei is thrust into the field of theoretical evolution. With the world opening before her, she is reborn. Her rebirth has captured the attention of criminals, police and scientists. Her acquisition of knowledge and power has been violent and taken only a moment. In the next moment, an act of self preservation. Now, in her

  A Provocative Presentation!   On the last night of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s life a young maid will off him hope, mercy, comfort ... and promise.   Brilliantly written; amazingly performed; well directed; and, remarkably set, this play is a moving experience that should not be missed!

A terrific rise for the ‘cousins’ of man and a dreadful fall for the species of man. Driven to cure the illness which often plague the human brain, [Dr.] Will Rodman (James Franco) has developed a pharmaceutical catalyst allowing cerebral pathways to repair and regrow themselves. Alas, [Dr.] Rodman has a personal agenda suppressing rational procedure. A favorable, if improper, human trial is

When America needed soldiers he was not a man they wanted. But, when they needed a hero, he was the only man for the job! Steve Rogers, a kid from Brooklyn, small and weak of body, with courage and idealism defying expectation. He dared what few men would dare. A miracle of science gave form to that which lay within him – a soldier, a leader, an avenger – a hero! {There’s a reason Captain

   A thrilling challenge to maintain your sanity.   Nina’s life has always been a perfect movement, flawless technique with graceful motion. After years, dedicated to the craft, dancing in the company core, she is given the chance to shine. Challenges mount: the scorn of a retired star; remorse for her role in that retirement; newfound desire for a new member of the company

Miranda Cosgrove – “Sparks Fly” (2010):  Music is often over-engineered, drowning the youthful voice; however, tracks like “Kissin’ U”; “BAM”; “Hey You”; “There Will Be Tears”; “Adored” and “Beautiful Mess” make it clear this kid has talent. With a bit of experience she’ll grow into the emotional sincerity that is often missing in her voice. Grade – B Melissa Etheridge – “Fearless Love” (

Quirky, simple, entertainment without much lasting value. Scott is, in best terms, a nerd. High school four years gone, he’s still hanging with buds, playing in a band and dating a high school chick. But, there’s this other girl, skating through his dreams and occupying his mind. Then, the day came when she was not simply in his dreams... the day came when Scott met Ramona. Now, what’s a nerd to

   Not nearly as gritty and violent as the modern graphic novels but a wild and interesting adventure nonetheless!    Walking a fine line between righteousness and wickedness, Jonah Hex is a man of certain skill and questionable motives. He survived the bloodiest war ever fought on American soil only to have everything he loved taken from him. Scarred for his ‘betrayal’ and

   Delightfully familiar, yet refreshingly new.    When his mother is promoted to a new position, Dre Parker is relocated from his comfortable home in Detroit to an uncomfortable apartment in China.    Language, customs, and culture unknown to him, Dre is soon in turmoil. Targeted by bullies who torment him daily, he is soon overwhelmed. But, his salvation is found

A very light romantic comedy. Beth is a career driven young woman with neither faith nor courage for love. In Rome for her younger sister’s wedding she’ll defy reason and challenge divinity to bring her true and lasting love. Alas such defiance will always bring challenges unexpected and unwanted... Beth now has five impossibly smitten, determined and devoted love interests. True love may be

 A surprising treat from this very talented troupe of amateurs and professionals.  In the summer of 1957, the streets of New York City are alive with bigotry and violence. The Jets (a gang of white teenagers) and The Sharks (a gang of Puerto Rican teenagers) fight for dominance in the neighborhood they’ve been forced to cohabit. Compelled by their love for one another, Tony and Maria

Funny, sweet, romantic and a bit unusual. One winter night in the ‘not-quite’ township of Almost Maine, several pairs of people, some strangers, most not, find themselves with new perspective, new hope and new love. There’s nothing too dramatic about this play, just an unusual bit of humor and romance defying description. Four performers for twenty roles in eleven scenes. Wonderfully set {even

Intriguing And Energetic. Nineteenth Century London, a game is afoot. Sherlock Holmes and his long-time partner, Dr. Watson, are on the verge of altering, if not ending, their association. But, personal matters are untended when their final case together is unexpectedly reopened, calling into question the reputations and integrity of Holmes and Watson. With the return of Irene Adler, the duo is

Jewel “Lullaby” (2009): Sweet! Something different but well fit, poetic intimacy. New tunes, familiar tunes, all sung with that angelic voice.

I urge you to oppose the “Performance Rights Act”. This legislation (H.R. 848/S. 379) would harm local free radio by imposing an unreasonable fee on local radio stations, undermining their ability to present news, information and music. Free "over-the-air" radio has been and should continue to be a vital communication and entertainment staple in the United States. Many people rely on radio for
