Half way through the 100 or so minutes of this production, I leaned over to my chum and whispered, “For what it’s worth, I have no idea what is going on.”And while that remained true f…

The Snow Geese

This one has me mystified. For the entire two hours of this show I was grasping for a foothold. I kept waiting to find a place where I could enter and be allowed inside more than a step or…

The Downtown Loop

A Night WIth Janis Joplin

In “A Night with Janis Joplin” you see dead people quite a lot. The conceit of the script is Joplin, on stage singing her heart out, with pauses to tell you about the amazing women who s…

Marie Antoinette

It is a dangerous endeavor to present a dramatization of history to a New York City audience that will surely be comprised of intellects and cynics - especially when the history presented is…

The Winslow Boy

There is something bewildering about this production of The Winslow Boy. For much of it I was certain I could see everyone’s lips moving, but I didn’t get what they were saying. I mean…

Bad Jews

A Bad Jew, according to this weary script, is someone who breaks a rule – usually having to do with diet. Like breaking a fast prematurely and then shrugging it off. For Daphna Feygenbau…

To be honest, before seeing this show I knew very little about Billie Holiday. I knew that name went hand in hand with musical royalty, but I didn’t know why. That was the pre Lady Day me…

I would give Mike Lew’s “Bike America” a thumbs up, but only with an addendum. The show, about an hour and 45 minutes, was full of great ideas: fabulous acting, a direction done by Mor…

It would be easy to dismiss R+J: Star-Crossʼd Death Match, staged in an unlikely second-floor barroom space, as a drinking game with a classy name attached. I worried as the actors greeted …
