  • New York Musical Theatre Festival

    The New York Musical Theatre Festival has been growing into a really interesting festival. Also, in addition to more traditional musicals, has endeavored to include more unusual work. I saw one of my favorite shows from the past year at the NY MUsical Theatre Festival – Joy Gregory’s The Shaggs. So here’s the email we…

  • I went to WAR and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt & a couple of Tracy Letts stories (more Breaking the Windy City (IV) digressions by Evon Blahmon)

    The set designer William Moser turned to me as we were staring up into the rafters and exclaimed, “What does that say on your ass?” I had tucked in my shirt for the run-through of Act I so as not to draw attention to the text printed on the bottom which says, “I Love Cock,”…

  • Three Things to See in NYC with Ivan B

    The Muses have left the building . . . Jesse J is cranky because I outted him online, Jack™ has finally gone fully to other side never to be heard from again and the play I am doing is driving the participants insane.

  • being naked onstage

    Gia Kourlas has an interesting article in the Times called “The Bare Essentials of Dance” – but it talks about a lot more than just dance. It is kind of an overview of nudity in performance over the past 40 years.

  • LaMama

    Sometimes it’s like LaMama has been there so long (and seems like it will always be there) that you just take it for granted. But then you read something like this profile of Ellen Stewart in the NY Times and you remember what an amazing space it is, with such an amazing history.

  • Breaking the Windy City: Part Duh

    Everything is a struggle, lemme tell ya. It’s a good day if I can get through it without getting fired or into a fistfight. Apologies to Mr. Roboto for all the political digressions. Time to put away the Soap Box and get back into the pool at the Oakwood. I’d say the highlight of Waterpolo…

  • bodies, apples and DNA

    We only just got around to posting this, but Jennifer Dunning’s review of Liz Lerman‘s “Ferocious Beauty:Genome” was really intriguing. Science and Art, together again.
