Reviews October 12, 2017 Amanda N. Gunther

Suit the action to the word and the word to the action! The word is shows without intermission are the new trend and the action is to apply it Shakespeare.

Reviews May 26, 2017 Amanda N. Gunther

To beguile the time, look like the time.

Review: American Idiot at Milburn Stone Theatre

Reviews June 9, 2016 Amanda N. Gunther

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right, you will definitely have the time of your life if you come see the Milburn Stone Theatre’s production of Green Day’s American Idiot.
