I came to the theatre with so much prejudice. I came expecting precious little. I came hating the title of the play, the artwork of the poster and even the overly amateurishness of the costumes. I knew these guys were hits on YouTube (although, my fault, I had never heard of them). I knew it was going to be a lot of Jewish jokes (obviously) and New York jokes (obviously, obvious). I was so dead wrong. Continue reading Oh, Hello on Broadway→

This play just smoked! It was the real thing! From the first moment when the stage manager came out to give us our cell phone shaming, and the two actors came out to set up their chairs and looked at each other, I knew this thing was going to cook! Continue reading Heisenberg→

My mind is blown. What the hell just happened? It was a technological “take me to church” experience.
Example: Take out your cell phone. Do it now! Open Google. In the search box type only the following – and do not hit enter. “IS IT WRONG TO”.

It has been watching and recording every single thing that you have done on your phone and – – it knows. It knows. Continue reading Privacy→

I have seen Long Day’s Journey Into Night. I mean I have really seen Long Day’s Journey Into Night! One goal I have for my theatre going life is to see the DEFINITIVE production of the classics. To be honest when I read the works of the classics (i.e. Chekhov, O’Neill, Ibsen, Strindberg, even Shakespeare) I often get bored – – and worse yet, when I see bad productions I get mad for the waste of time. I know as a theatre teacher I should relish reading these classics – but, come on, they were never meant to be read; they were meant to be EXPERIENCED. Continue reading Long Day’s Journey Into Night→

This story took me to a world I have never been. It introduced me to an occupation I had never considered – to a city I would never want to live in – to a group of people that I would never think twice about and likely judge and dismiss – to struggles that I will likely never face – – and here I was lapping up each and every moment. I was sitting in my seat through the entire production KNOWING exactly where this story was going – and being WRONG each and every time. Continue reading Skeleton Crew→
