The 2024-25 HRACT Awards Nominees
We can’t believe that the second season of the HRACT Awards has already come to a close. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the shows this year, and really struggled to narrow down the list of deserving nominees to the requisite number for each category. The winners will be announced at our awards ceremony on October…

For some, that might lead to a long paragraph to explain it. Others might just stagnate and keep the thought to themselves. The visionaries, however, don’t let a lack of creativity from prior generations get…

See Your Reflection in the Glass Ceiling in “Top Girls” at Little Theatre of Norfolk
Photo courtesy of J. Stubbs Photography (https://jstubbsphotographyvb.com/) In 2016, I began working in a very male-dominated field. As a Millennial woman, I truly believed that this would be a non-issue. While I wasn’t naïve enough to believe that we lived in a post-racism world or that people of the LGBTQIA+ community had achieved full equality,…

“Choir Boy” at LTN Asks if You Will Raise Your Voice or Shy Away
Photo courtesy of J. Stubbs Photography (https://jstubbsphotographyvb.com/) A forecast of snow wasn’t going to stop us from getting to the Little Theatre of Norfolk on Friday for the opening night of “Choir Boy,” a powerful story about a gay teenager at an all-boys boarding school written by Tarell Alvin McCraney (who also wrote the Oscar…

Come to Little Theatre of Norfolk for the Closest Shave of Your Life by “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”
Photo courtesy of J. Stubbs Photography (https://jstubbsphotographyvb.com/) When LTN dropped their 98th season schedule, I think everyone immediately circled the October opening of “Sweeney Todd” as a must-see (that was clear when we walked into opening night on Friday to a completely packed house). And – we knew that “Sweeney” is not a small production. …

The Cup of Laughter Doth Runneth Over at LTN’s “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]”
Photo courtesy of J. Stubbs Photography (https://jstubbsphotographyvb.com/) Walking into the Little Theatre of Norfolk for “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]”, I have to say, I was pretty worried. In fact, I turned to my wife and father-in-law and said “I’m not sure I’m well-versed enough in Shakespeare to get a lot…
