Bardy

For the Brady Kids it’s a beautiful morning and it’s gonna be a beautiful day.  And why not?  It’s 1974, they’re movin’ and groovin’ all through the night, and The Partridge Family is getting hot under the collar as the Bradys tread on their turf — a sure sign that they’re worthy competitors.  But in ...

No matter your age or where you are in life, chances are you can identify with sixteen year old Jasper.  Seems his world is a cacophony of tweets and gossip and shout outs and “don’t forget to”s that ring hollow from people who barely have their own lives together.   There’s so much over stimulation ...

Full Frontal … does the phrase alone make you curious?  Are you wondering what could possibly be going on here? Two simple words which can conjure up so many things.

One of the best things about the Frigid Festival as a whole is how innovative, experimental, unfiltered and uninhibited it is.  But that’s nothing compared to what happens each night, for while the last show of the evening is taking its bows, UNDER St. Marks gears up for its traditional midnight show.  For five years ...

For Body And Light

For Body And Light is so ethereal that to try and describe it flows beyond the bounds of a normal review.

I Shall Forget You Presently (Amy Overman/Nicole Lee Aiossa/Cara Moretto/Jennifer Gill/Rachel Grundy) [Photo by Theresa Unfried]

Boogie

When I was around ten years old I wrote a play based on the epic, Gone With The Wind.  There were just 2 actors in my play, myself and my 8 year old friend.  We bypassed a lot of the Civil War story line – and even dismissed the romantic plot. Instead we focused on ... Read The Full Article...
