The Addams Family at Beth Tfiloh Community Theatre

Reviews August 18, 2026 Amanda N. Gunther Leave a comment

Define normal. Because normal is an illusion, what’s normal for the spider is a calamity of for the fly! And what really is normal— a family? A secret? A ring? Sounds like you’re in for the least normal night of your life…or maybe the most normal if you go to the theatre every night like certain people do. Me. I’m the certain people. Buckle up, theatergoers, you’re in for anything but normal when it comes to spending one kooky night (or afternoon,

Interviews July 19, 2026 Amanda N. Gunther

Secrets are the enemies of passion! Speaking truth will get you through the day. Truth is not a thing that one should ration— and believe me as I open up and saaaay—

Hadestown (Teen Edition) at Children’s Playhouse of Maryland

Reviews May 5, 2026 Amanda N. Gunther

They will make you see how the world could be, in spite of the way that it is. They will sing you a song so beautiful that it brings the world back into tune. And where are you going? You’re going way down— Hadestown (Teen Edition) – way down under the ground. 21 young performers, one old, sad song— and they’re gonna tell it. They’re gonna tell it again. Children’s Playhouse of Maryland is living it up on top with their stellar and sensationally charged production of Hadestown (Teen Edition) and it will move your heart,

Annie at Children’s Playhouse of Maryland

Reviews December 9, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

Well leapin’ lizards! It’s a Christmas miracle that Children’s Playhouse of Maryland still has a ticket or two for their wonderful production of Annie next weekend! Aww, gee. You don’t have tickets yet? Aww, gee. You better not wait! They’re flying off the {digital} shelf faster than FDR’s new deal! Directed by Liz Boyer Hunnicutt with Musical Direction by Charlotte Evans and Choreography by Lauren Stewart, this time-honored musical theatre classic, is the perfect show for the Christmas season and is full of wonderfully talented young performers just radiating their best sunshine-positivity all over the stage!

Into The Woods at Beth Tfiloh Community Theatre

Reviews August 20, 2019 Mark Briner

Stephen
Sondheim is synonymous with darkly themed, intricately scored, chamber pieces
that hold a mirror up for the audience to self-reflect. On the surface, the fairy
tale wrappings of Into the Woods seem to defy that with brightly colored
costumes, unusually bouncy tunes, and a familiar cast of characters voicing a

Disney’s stable of technicolor,

Sweeney Todd at Beth Tfiloh Community Theatre

Reviews August 20, 2018 Daniel Plante

“Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd… his skin was pale and his eye was odd… he shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again. He trod a path that few have trod, did Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”.”

The opening lines to the haunting and delightfully disturbing Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street still have the power to chill and unsettle audiences,

Review: Godspell at Cockpit in Court

Reviews June 13, 2016 Amanda N. Gunther

Prepare ye the way of the Lord as it paves its path up the aisles of the main stage in the Theatre Building of the Community College of Baltimore County Essex Campus with Cockpit in Court’s production of Godspell. Celebrating its 44th season, the Stephen Schwartz musical kicks off the summer for the community theatre and preaches a message that is poignant now more so than ever in today’s world where hatred seems to be common place and violence is overlooked as a part of the daily routine.
