Clay McLeod Chapman is back! The master of Lower East Side domestic horror is once again bringing his particular style to the stage with his annual Pumpkin Pie Show. If you haven’t seen one of these before, Clay and his ensemble tell stories to us which seemed very familiar, yet are disrupted by a twisted take on them. Last year, […]

“Orwell in America” and the Tale of Two Great Performances

“Orwell in America” and the Tale of Two Great Performances

George Orwell is one of those names that seem to be on everyone’s mind even when you have never read a work of his. His unique take on communism, totalitarianism, and the vain nature of men has been studied for decades now, in high school and colleges. His work has been opening minds to have their own beliefs since he […]

“Chokehold” Tries to be Important, but Falters

In 2009, Oscar Grant was shot by the police after a small dispute with another person. He didn’t deserve to be shot and murdered, but he was. He wasn’t the first or the last, and with internet and the world wide web taking over, we have seen many new examples of this since then. A movement was started, people rallied, […]

“Missed Connections: A Craigslist Musical” is an Ode to Our Bizarre Nature

People are strange. We are, we all are. Let’s admit this. We are full of oddities that make us unique; in fact, it is the oddities that make each of us a person. Most people are comparable to another person, very few are considered special in the grand scheme of things. That’s because people are ashamed of sharing those little […]

A Crazy Foursome Gives Us an Entertaining Evening in “Mechanics of Love”

Relationships are like bookmarks for the book called our life — sometimes they are memorable, but most of the time they are not. You forget them or, more importantly, forget the feelings they generated for you at the moment. A passion fling that at the moment seemed like everything in the world could easily become a joke between friends a […]

“Maestro” is a Virtuoso Portrayal of an American Icon

God and love. These things means the same for so many people, yet we try to find it in different ways. The idea of love by itself is vast. It can mean anything! From the sweet taste of strawberries in the summer to the person you spend your life with, we love. And we find God through these things, because […]

H.O.M.E: A Meta-Human Look At What It Means To Be Human

H.O.M.E: A Meta-Human Look At What It Means To Be Human

Walking into the performance space for H.O.M.E (Habitat of Meta-Humans Enterprise) was almost like experiencing a preface to the show itself. The lighting was dim and slightly blue, projecting a space-like visual upon the stage. The seats of the audience were placed on an incline, with the stage at the bottom, allowing viewers to look down at the scenery below […]

“A Persistent Memory” is an Ambitious Yet Incomplete Work

“A Persistent Memory” is an Ambitious Yet Incomplete Work

Memory is a funny thing. It’s there all the time without really being there, at least not in any physical way. Memories manifest inside of our brains without us telling them to. They just do, and the better your mind works, the bigger the database is. Elephants are known for their amazing capability to remember most things that happen in […]

Migguel Anggelo: A Powerful Voice From Latin America

Migguel Anggelo came like a force into my life. I was sitting at a small table, in the middle of Joe’s Pub, waiting for him to come on stage and perform. I was talking to my guest about the space, and the show. I had not much idea what the show was going to be about, my knowledge started and ended […]

“In the Next Room or The Vibrator Play” Reeks of True Artistry

Period pieces off-off Broadway get a bad rep. It has to do with preconceived ideas of what you are about to see. Because somethings gotta give, right? Most of these companies do not have a third of what a Broadway (and many Off-Broadway) production companies have, yet they dare to go into a genre that demands a lot to be […]
