Reviews November 8, 2019 Amanda N. Gunther

If you’re looking for a little something different this
fall, if you need a change of pace but still want to support local theatre then

one-act plays of the 20th century all gently squeezed together and
bundled up as an evening— or afternoon’s— entertainment. While the through-line
of what ties these four specific works together is a bit of a stretch, the
performances are solid,

1776 at The Woodbrook Players

Reviews May 10, 2019 Amanda N. Gunther

Somebody ought to open up a window! So that they can hear
the bellowing cries of the second continental congress as they piddle, twiddle,

from Great Britain. Ready for America’s spirited beginnings? The Woodbrook
Players, successfully settled into their new home at Govans Presbyterian Church
on York Road right near Belvedere Square, are pleased to presenting to the
masses their spring musical: 1776!

Reviews November 8, 2015 Tommy Malek

Come errant knights and ladies! For it is time to sally forth toward the windmill—er, castle—and into the grand and touching tale of Don Quixote de La Mancha!

Performed as a “play within a play” this slightly pared-down version of the musical flourishes in its simple staging and still packs a wallop for theatre-goers of all ages.

It’s not a party until something gets spilled and family secrets are spilling out all over the place in this poignant timely production.
