The Lights Went Out Because of a Problem: A Found Opera at The Acme Corporation

Reviews December 4, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

Merriam-Webster defines the word Opera as a noun— “…a drama set to music and made up of vocal pieces with orchestral accompaniment and orchestral overtures and interludes.” Merriam-Webster also defines theatre as— well, a whole lot, see here for yourself, but the one I like the best is definition 5b— Spectacle sense— 1a (dramatic or theatrical quality or effectiveness) followed by 5c— entertainment in the form of a dramatic or diverting situation or series of events.

Every Brilliant Thing at Single Carrot Theatre

The refreshing scent of a freshly shredded pile of pine mulch.

Strolling through the I-83 Farmer’s Market with my mother at 7:00am every Sunday morning from

April through December.

24,601. A cat that will sit on your yoga mat while you’re trying to do downward dog and meow loudly.

525,600. Live Theatre.

I never thought I’d ever have to include “live theatre” as one of the ‘brilliant things’ in my life;

Reviews May 25, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

Tonight is the eve of humanity’s reckoning! Because The Baltimore Rock Opera Society is absolutely going to raise some hell— quite literally— in what could arguably be the most fantastic sendup to B-grade horror films of yesteryore with their latest original creation: Incredibly Dead! The B-Horror Rock Opera. Co-Directed by Michael Ziccardi and Sarah Gretchen Doccolo, with Musical Direction by Paul Joyce, and Choreography by Caitlin Rife, this zany, whacky, so-bad-it’s-good comedic musical is all of their own creation and it’s a thoroughly hilarious encounter.

The Orphan Sea at Cohesion Theatre Company

Reviews April 5, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

Tell us your story. Let us talk with each other. But we will soon forget; that is the way of all things. Or is it? Will you forget their story? Partnered in repertory with La Llorona, in Cohesion Theatre Company’s first ever attempt at rotating repertory shows, The Orphan Sea by Caridad Svich boggles the mind over storytelling at its most primitive. Originally commissioned by The University of Missouri-Columbia Department of Theatre,

La Llorona at Cohesion Theatre Company

Reviews March 29, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

What’s the weirdest thing you ever believed in? A ghost? A spiritual practice? A religion? What about an urban legend? We’ve all heard them. We all have them. Some of us have even experienced them. What happens when one story crosses through multiple cultures, where everyone knows a different version of the story? Cohesion Theatre Company, in their first attempt at running shows in rep, presents La Llorona, written by Cecelia Raker,

Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play at Cohesion Theatre Company

Reviews December 10, 2017 Amanda N. Gunther

Die Bart Die! Probably not exactly what Kelsey Grammer thinks he’ll be remembered for when his time is up. Side Show Bob, that loveable nefarious evil-doer spawned inside the depraved animator’s brain of Matt Groening, father of the indomitable prime time animated series, The Simpsons. Of course, what will any of us really be remembered for once we’re gone? What about once the world as we know it is gone? What becomes important,

From the first moment I saw it, I knew I could love it, if it could love me.
