On Saturday I had the honor of visiting Lancaster, PA to watch a rework of the musical adaptation of “Ghost.” This one seemed to focus more on the story and be less about the spectacle. If you saw “Ghost” on Broadway, you know exactly what I am talking about when I say they want to focus on the story instead […]

Have you ever look at yourself and wondered how does that work? What do the millions and millions of dead cells do when they were alive? Do they communicate like us? Am I a planet? And if so, have you spent hours upon hours online learning of what makes you…you? These are the questions that drive “Body: Anatomies of Being” conceived […]

The life of a child actor can’t be easy. I mean, the life of an actor as an adult is not easy at all. Imagine having to go through the growing pains of adolescence while all eyes are on you; it must be terrifying. Yet, these child actors create magic for themselves and us when they go on screen. There’s […]

A few weeks ago I wrote a review about the new streaming service for theater fanatics called BroadwayHD. I commented on how I loved the way it streamed almost seamlessly, especially in a live stream, and how this would open the world for so many productions to get the love they deserve. Past productions, new productions, productions you may not […]

Brilliant – the work of Edward Gorey can only be described with that word. And honestly, coming out of Life Jacket’s Gorey: The Secret Lives of Edward Gorey, that’s the only word that came to mind. Playing at the HERE Arts Center, this play written and directed by Travis Russ should be in the top of your must watch list this […]

There’s a certain complexity inside of us that is impossible to express in words. The human mind has a way of interpreting what it sees to fit its own reality. That reality is shared but still remains individualistic. While what we all see is the same, we don’t give it the same meaning. That’s the beauty of being alive most […]

It’s such a special thing when in a tired political season you go to see a play and it refreshes your interest in the current race. To be relevant, reproducing a mirror America set in 1999, and to keep it endearing forces you to take a perspective you may have forgotten you had. A child-like perspective, one that is just […]

When you hear the word Broadway what comes to mind? Is it the thousands of streets named Broadway? Or is it the one region where theater magic happens at its “best”? The shining names, the big stars, the intricate sets with music to make you dance through the night. Going to Broadway is an experience, plain and simple. It is […]

Art in all its glory is an expression of an individual. Whatever that individual feels is what will become the work. Art is also a communal thing, assembling a group of individuals ready to unite their emotions and perspectives to reflect them unto us. Like a mirror with different realities which will answer yours, art has always been there to […]

I will always remember what a friend of mine told me once upon a time on his way to watching an opera which was being performed at a black box. He said “I’m not excited, operas on small stages do not work.” Obviously, I went ballistic, saying that art can be done anywhere with the right story and the right […]
