The Awakening at Endangered Species (Theatre) Project

Reviews April 19, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

Resolved to never belong to anyone but herself, Edna Pontellier controlled her own destiny.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Picture it. A balmy, breezy, almost tropical evening on Grand Isle. Louisiana Gulf. Cottages. 1890’s. Summertime. Can you feel the sea breeze blowing in? Smell the scent of the water?

Beauty and the Beast at Damascus Theatre Company under the direction of Lee Michele Rosenthal and musical direction by Marci Shegogue will leave you feeling magical and uplifted, however there are a few bumps along the path.

Murder Ballad at Free Range Humans

Reviews June 23, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

In a smoky club they let the record spin…only it isn’t a smoky club, but rather an enchanting distillery…and they aren’t spinning a record so much as a four-person rock band, stirring up sound from the back corner of the unique space…From New York to Berlin— to Frederick, MD— comes stories of true love gone awry. Making its debut production, Free Range Humans, a new theatre company based in Frederick, presents Murder Ballad,
