Lewis Carroll did it with Alice in Wonderland … L. Frank Baum did it with The Wizard of Oz: gave us stories of fantastical worlds where innocent girls stumble backwards into their watershed moment and grow up from the inside out.  Now, playwright Kate Marks brings us another place of fantasy where not one but ...

When I came on to the staff of neighborbee in October of 2008 as the theatre columnist I had no idea that  just nine months later I’d be this immersed in the Off-Off Broadway community.  But here I am, 29 weeks, 32 shows and 25 reviews later … writing not just for this site but for The ...
