Student Blog: Seasons of Love
by Student Blogger: Alison Cohen - November 13, 2025
All my life, I grew up belting those words from Seasons of Love, one of my favorite songs from Rent. Back then, I sang them simply because I loved the song. I never truly understood their meaning.
Interview: David Boyd Directs LEGACY OF LIGHT at Catalyst Theater Company
by Chloe Yang - November 13, 2025
Director David Boyd discusses Catalyst Theater Company's production of Karen Zacarías' Legacy of Light, the award-winning play connecting 18th-century physicist Émilie du Châtelet with a modern-day astrophysicist. In this exclusive interview, Boyd reveals his cinematic approach to staging parallel timelines, the rehearsal room conversations about women balancing ambition and motherhood, and why this intellectually rigorous, female-driven narrative resonates with contemporary audiences. Legacy of Light runs November 14-16, 2024, at the duCret Center of Art in Plainfield, New Jersey. The play features six actors portraying nine characters across 300 years, exploring themes of science, surrogacy, legacy, and the impossible choices women face between career and family. Boyd, founding artistic director of Catalyst Theater Company and veteran scenic artist who has worked on productions including Sex and the City and Across the Universe, shares insights into bringing Karen Zacarías' Steinberg Citation-winning script to life in an intimate theater setting.
Interview: Sharpe Dunaway & Daughter London On Bands, Broadcasting, and Building a Creative Life
by Theresa Bertram - November 13, 2025
Sharpe Dunaway is no stranger to being in the spotlight, whether it be behind a microphone, behind the drums, or behind the video camera. And though he’s enjoyed his success and attention, he beams with pride when he talks about his children, father to Quint, Grey, and London (the youngest one who is taking great strides in the same vein as her father). In a free-wheeling conversation with Broadway World, Sharpe and his daughter London—a budding music journalist, concert photographer, and frontwoman in the making—dig into craft, community, and the power of doing the work.

Review: URINETOWN at Liberty Theatre
by David Bravos - November 13, 2025
Let's face it: a musical about a global water shortage that forces people to pay for the privilege of peeing sounds like a nightmare. Yet URINETOWN, presented by Western Sky Projects is anything but. Western Sky Projects has delivered a production that manages to be simultaneously high-brow social commentary and delightfully low-brow fun. It’s a smart, and unexpectedly joyful theatrical experience that reminds you why we love musical theatre—even when the very theatre is actively mocking itself.

Review: THE HUNGER GAMES: ON STAGE, Canary Wharf Troubadour Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - November 13, 2025
Housed in a purpose-built venue in Canary Wharf, it’s a behemoth. Adapting it for the stage was always going to be a Herculean task, not only when it comes to pleasing a very passionate fandom, but when we consider the scale and magnitude of the story too. Written by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster, it’s an unquestionably impressive achievement with great technical value. The actors are tireless athletes, the theatre is an imposing arena, and the stagecraft is often remarkable. Unfortunately, it’s also a soulless incarnation.

by Guest Author - November 13, 2025
There is no role in British theatre quite like the Pantomime Dame. The thrill I feel right now, heading into rehearsals at the legendary Stratford East, is electric. Stepping into a legacy that is equal parts mother, mayhem, and magnificent spectacle is an absolute gift for me.
