Another year of theatre in the Valley has come and gone, and it was another amazing one. There is so much talent in the Valley that no one needs to go to New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco to see a great show. Let’s take a look back at some of the highlights!
Another season of the Woodward Shakespeare Festival is almost upon us so we took a moment to chat with this season’s production manager Richard Adamson, who will also be directing this year’s production of Anthony and Cleopatra.
At KRL we enjoy taking our readers behind the scenes-whether it's learning about the lives of teachers, actors, artists, or musicians. This week we are chatting with local actor Casey Ballard from Kingsburg, CA. Casey is also the actor featured in our latest podcast episode, Murder at the Driskill.

It is almost time for another season of the Woodward Shakespeare Festival in Fresno, so we took some time to sit down with their executive producer Greg Taber to chat about the new season.
Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead at the Woodward Shakespeare Festival is…
