Review: AN IDEAL MAN at CONE MAN RUNNING
by Brett Cullum - Apr 15, 2026
AN IDEAL MAN is a fun spin on the source material, and it’s charming and affable in its delivery. I like the idea of the cast of DYNASTY suddenly being thrust into Oscar Wilde’s England via River Oaks.

Student Blog: Redefining the Modern Minority
by Student Blogger: Madeline Ho - Apr 13, 2026
What does it mean to be a minority? Well, in the most generalized terms, being a minority means you are part of a population that makes up less than 50% of the total population. Whether it be race, class, gender, or sexuality, minorities and their stories are continuously underrepresented in creative spaces. However, entertainment seems to be shifting towards more representative narratives, and I hope that I can be a part of creating this new standard.
