Madagascar: A Musical Adventure – Theatre Review: Valley Youth Theatre, Herberger Center Theater, Phoenix
Parents know everything there is to know about the animated franchise, Madagascar. They never had a choice. In an age of videos, DVDs and Blu-Rays, ever since 2005 when the films began, repeated home viewing was compulsory. There can hardly be a mom or dad who hasn’t had to step up to the imaginary mic […]

Tomás and the Library Lady – Theatre Review: Childsplay, Tempe Center for the Arts, Tempe
In many respects, Childsplay’s current production at Tempe Center for the Arts, Tomás and the Library Lady, exemplifies what theatre at Childsplay is really about, perhaps even more so than other productions.

And often that respect stretches to the families, even to […]

Pippin – Theatre Review: Spotlight Youth Theatre, Glendale
Like the original Roger O. Hirson book, Glendale’s Spotlight Youth Theatre’s new, energetic production for the Broadway musical Pippin is a mixed bag of ups and down, highs and lows, successes and failures. The original source material was always an uneven combination of comical, anecdotal sketches; its rhythm soared in the first half, then slowed […]

Geostorm – Film Review
As long as you know going in that what you’re about to see in director Dean Devlin’s Geostorm is pure hokum, you’ll be fine. If not, and its silliness is just too much, then for you this could rank as among the worst of the year. In fact, nominations for the Razzies may already be […]
