Agatha Christie’s Verdict – Theatre Review: Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre, Scottsdale
Followers of English murder mystery author Agatha Christie know the formula, and it works. A murder is committed; there’s a group of suspects in attendance; one of them, perhaps more, but usually the one, is the killer. And it’s up to a certain, colorful character – a detective inspector, a private detective, or maybe an […]

It’s Only A Play – Theatre Review: Phoenix Theatre, Phoenix
When those with only a passing interest in theatre (and film, for that matter) dismiss a production and state, “It’s only a play,” they have no clue how that sounds to a theatre lover.

Show Boat – Theatre Review: Arizona Broadway Theatre, Peoria
It was the first of its kind. A play with music and song, where the songs propelled the plot instead of stopping it. So, in 1927, when the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein ll musical in two acts, Show Boat opened on Broadway, the course of the American musical theatre was changed forever. With that in mind, […]
