Splendors you never have dreamed all your days— my lucky friends! With spooky season upon us, you’ll have your pick— there seems to be a Sweeney in every market this October! Live in or around Frederick and that side of the state? Other Voices Theatre has got your covered with their production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Directed by Amy Hebb, with Musical Direction by Paul Cabell,
*gasp* A theatre!
Wait! What’s your rush? What’s your hurry?
You’re in for such a treat— thought that they were closed—
Hang on a minute, go and sit! Sit you down! SIT!
They’re so excited, they haven’t seen an audience for months—
Did you come in for a show, folks?
Do forgive them, they’re putting Sondheim on the stage…
What was that?
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
SpongeBob! The musical!? That’s right, gentle fish-folk…or land mammals…or whoever you are that needs a good laugh and a feel-good night out at the theatre? (And that is 100% everyone right now, so everyone should come out to the theatre.) That ridiculous and absorbent, delightful yellow sponge from Nickelodeon has his own stage musical! (And it’s not new-new…it debuted back in 2016!) But it sure is splashing onto the stage at Other Voices Theatre!
You mustn’t cheat your readers. Ever. Or in this case, your theatergoers. Worry not, attendees of Other Voices Theatre, the current production of Misery won’t cheat you out of anything. This thrilling, edgy, and suspenseful drama— with the subtle flavoring of a dark comedy— may be a departure from the usual productions offered by the company but it’s a stellar performance that is brilliantly set down for an intense two hours’ stage traffic.
Do it for the sardines! Maybe also for the doors and the boxes! But mostly for the sardines! Sardines— sardines!!! They’re everywhere! And they’re all over the set of Noises Off! at Other Voices Theatre in Frederick. Directed by Matthew Bannister, this high-end, high-octane, full-comedy farce is just the laugh the doctor ordered! Pandemic blues got you down? Get out of the house and get tickets to this show— you’ll laugh out loud,
