Victory! Guts and glory! They’re a front-page story— they’re the kings of— Frederick! You heard it here first, folks, and the papes don’t lie! Newsies at Other Voices Theatre is a real smash sensation! OVT is on a mission, kill the competition! And they’re doing it right! Directed by Ashely Gerhardt with Musical Direction by Tyrus Mataban-Ward, and Choreography by Kiersten Gasemy, this exuberantly energetic production is carrying the banner of excellence and engaging the audience with their enthusiasm and heart from start to finish.

The Sound of Music at Third Wall Productions

Reviews January 20, 2023 Amanda N. Gunther

How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? Third Wall Productions will show you how with their stellar production of Rogers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music. Having changed venues again, to what is hopefully now their theatrical-forever-home, the hard-working community theatre brings its 2023 stage productions to the stage & hall of Chestnut Grove Presbyterian, and is settling into the space a bit like Maria Rainer is settling into the von Trapp household,

PUFFS or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic at Artistic Synergy of Baltimore

Reviews July 13, 2019 Amanda N. Gunther

PUFFS! Spoiler alert— not everyone’s favorite house…but
when a hat speaks, you listen! Let’s be clear here, there will be much foolish
wand waving and silly incantations in Artistic Synergy of Baltimore’s production
of PUFFS or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic
and Magic. Fresh from Off-Broadway, and playing a limited four-show engagement,
PUFFS is the ridiculously absurd parody play that will banish all your
boggarts back into their closets with a healthy dose of laughter.

Once Upon a Mattress at Artistic Synergy of Baltimore

Reviews October 5, 2018 Amanda N. Gunther

Tale as old as— wait. No. That’s not right. The seaweed is always greener— no. That’s not it either. The cow as white as milk, the slipper as pure as— oh. Definitely not. With the flurry of various and sundry fairytale musicals being done here, there, and everywhere, who can keep them all straight? What about a lesser known fairytale? Or at least a lesser produced one? Artistic Synergy swoops in to save the day in that department,

Much Ado About Nothing at Artistic Synergy of Baltimore

Reviews May 10, 2018 Jim Gerhardt

Artistic Synergy of Baltimore (ASoB) presents a splendid rendition of Much Ado About Nothing, one of Shakespeare’s most well-known classic comedies. Most are probably familiar with the material already through literature class, seeing it performed elsewhere, or from the various movie versions (most notably the 1993 version directed by Kenneth Branagh), but for those who are not familiar, it can be summed up briefly as two love stories intertwining with misdirection,

Review: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Artistic Synergy

Reviews December 10, 2016 Amanda N. Gunther

I dreamed that in the fields one day the corn gave me a sign. It was followed by seven fat cows crossing the Nile and painted on their flanks were more signs that said “go, go, go— to see— Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat— at Artistic Synergy! Andrew Lloyd Webber’s technicolor wonder is playing just six performances this holiday season and there are some truly bright shining stars in the production that you simply won’t want to miss!
