  • Go North

    We went to LaMama late Saturday night to see North and lemme tell ya, that Heather Christian is something else. And I mean that in a good way. Every once in a while you see someone perform and you’re like, “Yep. This one’s gonna take off.” She’s one of them. Her theatrical influences are obvious…

  • Surrender to AboveGroundZero

    So I went to the AboveGroundZero festival this weekend to see Emily Conbere‘s Broken Dog Legs/The Jamal Lullabies, which I enjoyed.

I was fortunate enough to see her previous work…

  • November Defies Expectations

    I was going to complain about David Mamet’s new comedy November which opens January 17th at The Barrymore. I was going to explain how I was a theater major at a university near Chicago in the late 80’s when David Mamet was a really big deal.  It was all about Mamet and Shepard and Malkovich…
