It’s October! Halloween! Autumn leaves! Pumpkin Spice!
OK . . . Not everyone likes Pumpkin Spice, but I’m a pumpkin partisan. I crave pumpkin treats, and The Great Food Search has gathered a garland of goodies!
This week we have 5 more cozy and historical mysteries all with a magical or spooky side making them perfect for Halloween reading-A Fatal Feast at Bramsford Manor: A Food and Spirits Mystery by Darci Hannah, Booked on Murder by Allison Brook, Furever After by Sofie Kelly, a Magical Cats Mystery, Six Stunning Sirens by Lynn Cahoon, and Death and the Visitors by Heather Redmond.
Before there was The Phantom of the Opera, before there was Cats, before there was Evita, before there was Jesus Christ Superstar, two young English men (Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice) created a 15-minute “Pop Cantata,” based on an Old Testament story, for a boys’ school to perform in 1968.
The Gods of Olympus! Titans! Monsters! Centaurs! Medusa! Furies! Hades! Minotaurs! Ares! Stolen Lightning! Charon! Satyrs!
It’s not a quiz for Greek Mythology 101. It’s The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, a lively journey through a modern-day world where ancient gods (and their part-mortal children) and monsters battle for survival, a River City Theatre Company production now playing at the Reedley Opera House through October 13.
In August, the Great Food Search brought you PIZZA! Pizzas from Clovis, Reedley, Sanger, and Shaver Lake. Was that enough for you?
Follow the music to the magic of The Secret Garden, the tuneful, mystical musical presented by the Good Company Players at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater through November 10.
When it comes to Italian food, spaghetti may be the first thing that comes to mind, but the American Queen of Italian Cuisine is the beloved pizza pie.
Want to know about small-town life in the early 1900s? Want to contemplate love, marriage, life, and loss? Want to care about characters in a classic drama played by wonderful actors? Get yourself down to the Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre to see Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-winning Our Town, playing through October 6.
Meat. Flame. Smoke. Sauce. Rub. That spells BBQ, barbeque, barbecue, Food of the gods.
Long ago (back in the 2010s) and far away (in Clovis), there was a place called QN4U, a place for everything barbecued and more. It lives on in memory, and The Great Food Search still searches for a worthy successor to carry on its legacy.
“The stage is alive with The Sound of Music.”
That’s right! The songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein return to Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater in a Good Company Players production of The Sound of Music through September 15.
