Review - Othello & Is Life Worth Living?

Review - Erotic Broadway: What's In A Name?
While calling the recent entertainment at The Triad Erotic Broadway may carry the same lack of appropriateness as expressed in the traditional arguments against the moniker Holy Roman Empire (It's really more 'cute and sexy' than erotic and the material's ties to Broadway are sporadic at best.
Review - A Lifetime Burning: The Irrelevance of Being Earnest
I'll readily admit to letting out a quiet, though not exactly inaudible, 'Wow,' as I entered the main auditorium at 59E59 and took a first glimpse at Kris Stone's New York apartment set for Primary Stages' premiere production of Cusi Cram's A Lifetime Burning.
Review - Andrea McArdle at The Metropolitan Room: You're Gonna Love Tomorrow

Review - Wildflower: Racing With The Plot
I suppose the cocktail conversation among certain factions of the Off-Broadway community this summer will be centered around whether the ending of Lila Rose Kaplan's Wildflower a) thoroughly ruined the play, b) logically brought all the play's diverse pieces together or c) was just another example o

Review - Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe: Downtown Is Looking More Like Uptown
