POTUS: OR. BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMB*SS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE WRITTEN BY SELINA FILLINGER

Reviewer: Mark DeWolf-Ott (If you don’t already know; POTUS is an acronym for President of the United States.)  It’s playing at Pit and Balcony Theatre, Saginaw November 1 and 2, this Friday and Saturday.  POTUS is an After Dark Production because it contains strong adult language and situations.  The play takes place in the Capital of course.

Many reviews compared the play to skits by Monty Python or maybe even Saturday Night Live.  I would also compare it to The Honeymooners, I love Lucy, The Muppets, Adam Sandler, Weird Al Yankovic, […]

MAKING CHRISTMAS DARK: PIT AND BALCONY’S THE EIGHT REINDEER MONOLOGUES

Reviewer: Elizabeth Detloff Occasionally one might find themselves scrolling on Facebook and suddenly come across a photo of an old high school friend. One might discover their friend is cast in Pit and Balcony’s After Dark holiday show called The Eight Reindeer Monologues. One may grab another high school friend and tickets to the Saturday show and head to their first After Dark production.  I have been a long time fan of Pit and Balcony and have been to many Friday night […]
