Choreographer, playwright, and dancer Jinah Parker’s momentous and timely work SHE will run OFF-BROADWAY March 31 – May 19, 2018, at the Gym at Judson in Manhattan. This moving work of dance-theater—“a Choreoplay”—opens up all-too-necessary conversations about sexual trauma, systemic racism, women’s healing and ownership of their bodies, and the undoing of rape culture. The show, in development for two years, arrives Off-Broadway just as these crucial conversations about sexual violence have erupted in the mainstream, as allegations against powerful men have given fire to women and driven the #MeToo movement and subsequent Time’s Up Defense Fund, exposing the extent of the systems that heretofore have silenced and shamed survivors, and providing pathways to justice and accountability. Having played to sold-out audiences at HERE Arts Center in Spring 2017, SHE continues its journey—with a newly revamped script, new cast members, and new direction from Tamilla Woodard—in this moment of reckoning, in telling the stories of survivors and giving voice and body to pain as a step toward liberation, healing, and empowerment.

SHE joins the themes of The Vagina Monologues and For Colored Girls, interlinking stories about sexual violence and racialized abuses. Parker met and interviewed a number of women generous enough to share their own stories of surviving sexual abuse; in an earlier iteration of the piece, these women delivered their stories and danced alongside trained performers. Through this process, Parker also began weaving her grandmother’s story into the work—and her own. She explains, “I realized—throughout the research, throughout this process of working with the survivors, continuously talking to them, going through their words, creating dance out of them—that I had my own story of abuse. I thought, ‘If I have been putting this in the back of my mind and didn’t know for years, how many other women are living in the dark, or suppressing something that happened to them?’ And what better a way to regain a sense of self, when something has physically been taken away, or when your body has been abused, then to use your body to reclaim it?” SHE uses a foundation of modern dance with elements of jazz, street jazz and ballet to bring these stories into dancers’ bodies, while actors simultaneously deliver them through monologue and expressionistic interactions.

SHE intersectionally addresses sexism and racism in a poignant consideration of the abuses suffered by Sandra Bland, described by Parker as a "metaphorical rape"-a matter of powerful systems stripping someone of their being. Unlike the women the audience hears from who can reclaim their narratives of abuse, the violation of Sandra Bland ended in death; this is a woman who, among the many tragic, mysterious, and infuriating elements of her story, is no longer around to tell it. Says Parker, who takes on the role of Bland, "I wanted to give her a voice."

Review: LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST, Shakespeare’s Globe
by Debbie Gilpin - Jul 30, 2026


The flimsy theme holding together this year’s summer season at Shakespeare’s Globe is ‘1599 or 1939’, which has allowed them to stage a work by Brecht as well as several Shakespeare plays which are frequent flyers at this theatre complex. Fortunately it leaves room for something which hasn’t been produced for either stage since Michelle Terry’s inaugural season in 2018; this Love’s Labour’s Lost, however, finds itself in the outdoor Globe Theatre and with a distinctive Spanish flavour.

Interview: Kathryn Jacobson of MEAN GIRLS at QUEENSBURY THEATRE
by Brett Cullum - Jul 28, 2026


Regina is probably one of the hardest vocal tracks that I've been dealt. Just making sure: as an actor/performer, my instrument is part of my body, so preparing physically. I've been really, really diligent with both by this, it's so lame, but my workouts, my supplement regimen, my hydration, just making sure that I can give a consistent performance every night and do that while also in stilettos.

Review: THE LITTLE BIG THINGS at Royal Theatre Carré Amsterdam
by André Böke - Jul 26, 2026


“It’s the little big things you leave behind.” Few new musicals have captured audiences quite like „The Little Big Things“, and Amsterdam's new non-replica production proves exactly why. Presented as part of the Carré Theatre's tenth-anniversary „Broadway in Carré“ series, Ola Mafaalani's staging combines an outstanding cast, breathtaking visuals and remarkable emotional depth to create an evening that lingers long after the curtain calls. More than a moving story about resilience, it is a celebration of family, healing and inclusion—told from a perspective that feels both deeply personal and profoundly universal.
