THEATRE REVIEW: Ghent Playhouse’s ‘The Cemetery Club’ plays out with potential on a terrific set

“The Cemetery Club” is enjoyable enough and with a few more performances, should jell into the sort of appetizer that makes a season into a delectable dinner party.

THEATRE REVIEW: In Ghent Playhouse’s ‘Don Juan, the libertine,’ comic elements come first

As in any good Moliere play, the comic elements come first and this play is not averse to the physical and psychological silliness that makes his plays work well.

REVIEW: Ghent Playhouse’s ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’ a cross-dressing fairy tale with wit, music and political barbs

While I could have gone home happier with some truly barbarous barbs, the show still entertained and delighted, and the audience had almost as good a time as the company.

THEATRE REVIEW: Once again ‘Our Town,’ this time with new life

Every once in a while, something happens to transform this play and bring it back to its origins and, when that happens, as it did on stage at the Ghent Playhouse, it transforms me and my feelings about the play.

REVIEW: ‘Turn of the Scrooge,’ Pantoloons’ hilarious update of ‘A Christmas Carol’

Unlike other years where the jokes at the expense of politicians, local and national, are hooters, this season’s barbs are blurred by everyone’s sense of what is going on in the country.

REVIEW: A Grimmly satirical Snow White at Ghent Playhouse

The basic story is familiar and easy. It is the retelling that this company does with political and sexual innuendo, cross-dressing, gender confusion and Walt Disney visuals that makes the difference.
