Hadestown (Teen Edition) at Theatreworks Live

Reviews July 18, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

Hadestown (Teen Edition) is a remarkable show, and it has a gift to give; it could make you see how the world could be, instead of the way that it is.

Wherever You Find Love It Feels Like Christmas: Interviewing Tidewater Players Merrymaking Christmas Carolers- Bobby Mahoney

Interviews November 22, 2024 Amanda N. Gunther

Elf at Tidewater Players

Reviews December 9, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

If you find yourself short on cheer just think about that special year (no, not 2019 that was a different year…same story) that Tidewater Players reached up on their shelf…and put up on their stage a musical called Elf! It’s sparkle-jolly-jingle-twinkly! Or however it goes (this Christmas Grinch over here still hasn’t finished writing out her Christmas cards…) but however it goes— it goes with lots of razzle-dazzle seasonal pizzazz!
