Reviews July 23, 2026 Amanda N. Gunther Leave a comment

Well it’s a hard, cold, tumble of a tourney, jumble of a journey to Urinetown! Actually, it’s a long drive, and it’s pretty hot outside, all the way up to Rising Sun for Urinetown. But my friends, I say— you have to run, freedom-run-freedom-run-awaaaaaay— up there to go and see this fine production! Campy, humorous, creative, clever, with all sorts of piss-taking songs and a company 32 strong in that little black box of Street Lamp Community Theatre,

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,

Words mean what we say they mean. But who— who— are— you? Are you who you say you are? Do you expect to believe that you are who you say you are? Are you— Alice? Do you know Alice By Heart? Book by Steven Sater (lyrics too) & Jessie Nelson? Music by Duncan Sheik? If you weren’t able to answer yes to any of those questions, then you should tumbled own the rabbit hole by way of Street Lamp Community Theatre to experience this rarely produced musical gem.

Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier at Street Lamp Community Theatre

Reviews February 9, 2024 Amanda N. Gunther

No one mourns the Twisted.

No one cries they won’t return (…of Jafar, terrible movie. Just terrible.)

No one lays a Jasmin on their graaaave.

The good man scorns the Twisted.

Through their lives our children learn.

What we miss— when we misbehaaaave.

And goodness knows— the Twisted’s lives are zany!
