This tone deaf high school drama geek turned writer/editor fantasizes about seeing her name next to marquee pop quotes - not up in lights. Lindsey Sullivan realized writing was her true passion after her best friend pleaded her to fill space in her student newspaper. A few snarky opinion articles turned into a boisterous theater beat that lasted through college and beyond. Sullivan is currently a professional media nerd at Billboard and freelance writer for SELF. She has her own theater blog, Curtain Chronicles, as well as Not So Fair Hair, which chronicles her experience as a young woman living with alopecia areata. She is currently obsessed with Ryn Weaver, a huge Zumba enthusiast, a recent 48 Hour Film Project script writer and producer, and can usually be found in her giraffe onesie.
BWW Review: ONCE Enchants New Haven

Guy meets girl. They make some music. And they either end up together or apart, delighting or devastating their respective audiences.

Magic was made at New Haven's Shubert Theatre last night as the cast of Once took their first bow of the weekend (and received the first of what are likely to become many standing ovations).

Several months ago, 23-year-old tenor Alex Mollica approached the mic at Don't Tell Mama in the heart of Times Square. Despite the instruction of the venue's title, his wildcard singing range and one-liners got people talking, laughing, and shedding a tear or two. A YouTube video and a whim resulted in Doing It My Way, Mollica's upcoming autobiographical cabaret at The Duplex.

Alan Ayckbourn makes another delightful, not-so-clean comedy sweep at Westport Country Playhouse with Bedroom Farce. The play captures all the fun, frustration, fighting, frivolity, and fidgeting that inevitably goes into any all-nighter.
