Is He or Isn’t He? That’s the Magic of Harvey at Williamsburg Players
As someone who has watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” many a time in my day, I am mildly familiar Jimmy Stewart’s work, and thus, although having never seen the movie “Harvey”, was excited to attend Williamsburg Players’ production involving that famous tall rabbit. (Don’t tell anyone, but just a couple hours before the show, I…

Williamsburg Players’ Winter Show “Deathtrap” Brings the Chills and Thrills
In our family, we love a good “for entertainment purposes only” bet – we try to guess what configuration the stage will be at Generic Theater, place wagers on how many empty seats there will be when we go to LTVB (spoiler, it is always less than five), and try to prognosticate how the Green…

Williamsburg Players’ 67th Season Races Along with “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”
We here at the HRACT Awards love a good Sherman Brothers’ musical, so we were excited when Williamsburg Players announced their season included the old classic, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.” We also knew that “Chitty” was going to be quite a challenge to bring to life – it is a big cast (half of which…

Take a Voyage to Neverland at Williamsburg Players’ “Peter and the Starcatcher”
“You Can Fly!” When thinking about Peter Pan, it’s difficult to not defer to the Disney movie version of this classic tale. “Peter and the Starcatcher” at Williamsburg Players tells the story before where the Disney film picks up. The boy who we will all know as Peter (played by Samuel Foraker in The Wasp’s…

A Failing Flower Shop, a Sadistic Dentist, a Strange and Unusual Plant, and a Neighborhood’s Dreams Add Up to a Wonderful “Little Shop of Horrors” at Williamsburg Players
“Little Shop of Horrors” is one of my all-time favorite musicals, and so I was incredibly excited around this time last year when Williamsburg Players announced they’d be putting it on. What I didn’t realize at the time was that its run would overlap with the solar eclipse happening on Monday – a celestial event…
