Posted on May 28, 2013 by Artsalot

REVIEW – John and Jen – HILLBARN THEATRE

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Artsalot

I’d generally consider myself an escapist when it comes to theater. I like to laugh, learn, be thrilled and occasionally fall in love when I attend a production. Given a choice, I don’t often voluntarily seek out the more dramatic … Continue reading →
