American Idiot at Street Lamp Community Theatre

Reviews July 25, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

“Don’t wanna be an American Idiot! One nation controlled by the media. Information age of hysteria. It’s calling out to idiot America.” We— the last of the American girls, the rebels, those of us who walk alone along the boulevard of broken dreams could not have imagined a louder time in history these rock-n-roll lyrics were needed and felt than when they came out with Green Day’s concept album release— American Idiot (2004.) Enter 2025 where we’re living in unprecedented times and the message that thrums at the core of this concept-album-come-stage-musical is more potent,

Cinderella at Street Lamp Community Theatre

Reviews November 11, 2022 Amanda N. Gunther

In their own little corner, on their own little stage, they can produce whatever they want to show.

And with their own type of magic, they invite you to enjoy, Cinderella, a sweet fairytale that you love and know. Why, bippity-boppity-boo! It’s Street Lamp Community Theatre’s production of Rogers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. (The original as it stands, not the more recently ‘updated’ version.) Sweet and charming and simplistically joyful,

little black box theatre that could, Street Lamp Productions in Rising Sun, closes
out their 4th season with a fan-favorite show that had a short life on Broadway

Newsies at Street Lamp Productions

Reviews December 5, 2018 Mike Zellhofer

Now is the time seize the day! Or in this case, “Carpe scaena!” And seize the stage like they did! Street Lamp Productions presentation of Disney’s Newsies, Directed and Choreographed by Bambi Johnson, is well worth the drive to Rising Sun, MD. I reckon it may be a bit out of the way for some Baltimore City folk, (Admittedly, had my mother not lived in Colora for over eleven years, I may not have known about it either.) but I promise you it’s worth the trip.

Jesus Christ Superstar at Street Lamp Productions

Reviews March 10, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

Jesus Christ Superstar— is exactly what they say you are: a superstar… production, that is. Unfathomably brilliant in its modern conceptualization, Director and Choreographer Bambi Johnson brings this game-changing, classical Andrew Lloyd Webber musical theatre sensation to the intimate black box stage of Street Lamp Productions and creates superb divinity in the theatrical experience that is Jesus Christ Superstar. At the risk of sounding repetitive, it’s a superstar theatrical engagement that is presented with an incredible deal of talent,

Heathers at Street Lamp Productions

Reviews February 13, 2018 Andrew Worthington

In a time where our students are facing issues with identity, popularity, socializing, and acceptance on an almost minute-by-minute basis, a show like Heathers, where each character openly discusses their role in the social environment of high school, is poignant, relevant, and necessary. Street Lamp Productions’ brilliant performance of the musical hits all of the right notes, both literally and metaphorically.

Based on the 1980’s cult-movie of the same name,
