Broadway On The Side — Local services in Harrisville

I attended "Into the Woods" back in September (sorry for the late review) excited to support a family member in the cast. The talent on stage was undeniable — the entire cast brought passion, energy, and heart to their performances. They truly deserved better.

Unfortunately, the opening night was canceled at the last minute, which was incredibly disappointing for both the cast and audience. From what I witnessed and heard, the root of the issue lies in the theater's leadership. The director, who was also the owner (Megan), was unprofessional, rude and unorganized. She was destructive toward the show and hindered its production. Thankfully, the assistant director stepped up and helped keep things from falling apart entirely after the Megan quit just days before the show opened.

This theater has a lot of potential. The performers and creative team clearly care deeply about their work, and the space itself has promise. But as long as the current management remains unchanged, especially under Megan’s direction, it’s hard to imagine the theater thriving. Since the production was nearly 10 months ago, maybe managment was has changed since then. Again I apologize for the very late review.

I sincerely hope the board or community around this theater recognizes the issues and takes action to support the artists with the leadership...

What a great treasure. I have been involved with Broadway on The Side both with having my daughter be a part of the children's productions of Frozen Jr as well as Shrek the Musical Jr. as well as my eldest son be a part of Pirates on the Side. Megan is amazing to work with, her patience with the kids and her amazing tips have helped both of them with their stage presence, singing abilities and their confidence all around. As part of the audience the children's productions are fun to watch. The adult productions are small but truly a joy to watch, the singers are so talented and I have been so impressed with how...

We were really excited to go and support the production of “Into the Woods” and were heartbroken when we showed up and saw a note on the door saying the show was cancelled for the weekend. How disappointing as a patron and I’m sure the cast was very disappointed as well. Never in all my life of attending shows have I ever witnessed a show getting cancelled the day it was supposed to open. How unfair. I hope this cast gets to continue on with the show despite the challenges the director has thrown at them...
