WOMEN w/o WALLS is based on the myth of Charon the ferryman on the River Styx, inspired by Dante's Inferno and Sartre's No Exit. It is an exploration of the fine line between life and death, decision and non-decision, and the intense human experience of connection. While there is no doubt from the moment you meet the four characters that they are on a trip to their final destination, each must find a way to fulfill her destiny before the train reaches its destination.

As a life-long lover of Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shew' and now a fan of the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' trilogy, I was certainly wondering how the two could be combined. Well it appears to be much easier than I thought given the exciting new production of 'Fifty Shades of Shrew' at the Lounge Theater. The all-female cast uses the Bard's exact text and makes it come alive in the most creative BDSM connotations possible by just using a different emphasis on words and actions that promote such fun activities as spanking, Master/Submissive games, handcuffs, and other elements which are discussed for the uninitiated by latex-clad Mistress Kara before the play begins.
Broads' Word Theatre has announced the opening of its premiere production, Fifty Shades of Shrew, an all-female production of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, directed and adapted by Danielle Ozymandias.
Half of 2014 is behind us. What was new and different, exciting and outrageous, unpredictable and surprising in the NY art world? That's right, not much. Like a large yacht the art world turns slowly. As usual, it seems like money is at the helm captaining the course of art history. This is not new; Leo and Peter Paul worked for the moneyed men of the day. In the past this would mean Princes, Kings and Popes. Now, money has let go of it's need for a title ( except for Sir Paul) and huddles around businessmen. Entertainment and luxury good CEO's, corrupt hedge fund a-holes that pay almost $2Billion in fines and drug dealers dress up their persona with art, cocktails parties and world class trips to stay firmly footed as the top dog in the art world.
Little Fish Theatre today announced the productions slated for the coming year, ten plays and an evening of shorts, selected to delight, amaze and entertain.

Tara Donovan: Untitled will be the first major museum exhibition to present together sculptures and drawings by contemporary American artist Tara Donovan, 2008 recipient of the MacArthur Foundation 'genius' grant, offering the most complete view of her artistic practices to date. The exhibition will include several of Donovan's large-scale sculptural installations, including a newly commissioned work, and a range of drawings that Donovan created over the past decade. In the large-scale sculptural installations presented in this show, Donovan dramatically transforms everyday materials-such as pencils, Elmer's glue and electrical cable-into sublime abstract environments. Donovan's drawings engage in an important dialogue with the materials and processes explored in her installations.
