In the entertainment industry, women are a part of every aspect. Acting, directing, writing, producing; yet the opportunities that exist keep them in an eternal survival game where they need to step on each other to get to where most males get without the same sacrifices. For every 2.24 male characters written to be performed, there’s one female. Only 23.3 […]

Film is what I like to call the ultimate marriage between art and technology. It requires the creativity that only some people possess, and the skills of a master technician/scientist to pull it off. For people that think filming is just camera and friends are missing around a dozen (if not dozens) of components that are required to produce a […]

For any fan of noted writer Tennessee Williams, En Avant! An Evening with Tennessee Williams is 70 minutes well spent.

Actor and playwright […]

Women. Girls. Females. The other sex. Whatever you want to call them, they represent everything that contains strength, power, and inspiration to many people around the world. This month we celebrate women because of the incredible beings they are, but sadly we live in a world where most of the celebration ends with empty words. Empty, because for every promise […]

Everyone hear this now! New work in theater is alive and well! That’s how I felt after watching David Brian Colbert’s play “C.O.A.L (Confessions of a Liar)” at the 59E59 Theaters. The play is a strong, clever, and contains a sneakily deep exploration about how lies are what construct the truth in this society. Our hero is called Coal, and […]

Forget The Real Housewives, VH1’s Mob Wives has grabbed international attention and as the explosive season 5 ends people cannot get enough of Staten Island’s finest residents. Revolving around Renee Graziano, Karen Gravano, Drita D’Avanzo and Angela ‘Big Ang’ Raiola, this season welcomed two outsiders from Philadelphia, Natalie DiDonato and Natalie Guercio that stirred up some drama for the Staten […]

I am a newbie when it comes to the burlesque scene and I was very grateful that I had a chance to attend Hotsy Totsy’s tribute to the master of horror: Stephen King. Cyndi Freeman, AKA Cherry Pitz, is a jack of all trades, who is not only the co-producer, but also the host of and a performer in all […]
