Every once in awhile I am blown away by an innovative and excitingly creative theatrical production which surprises me both physically and emotionally. Such was the case when I experienced Eugene O'Neill's ANNA CHRISTIE at the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble. The incredible cast stars Zoe Perry alongside her real-life father, Scandal's Jeff Perry, and Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd as the play's trio of iconic characters who create an explosive mix, each struggling for salvation.

'Kafka's Quest, a.k.a. Kafka/Samsa' is a quasi-realistic play by the late playwright Lu Hauser that imagines the family life of Gregor Samsa, the tragic victim of Kafka's 'Metamorphosis,' and his friendship with an historic Yiddish Theater actor and actress in Prague, prior to the events of the famed novella. Set in Prague in 1912, it portrays Gregor Samsa (the name Kafka personified himself with in the book) as torn between his father, who wants to keep him on the straight and narrow with a full time job, and his friendship with artists of the Yiddish Theater, who want him to join and write for them. His father's bankruptcy forces Gregor to become the breadwinner of the family, which has been forced to take in two mysterious lodgers to make ends meet. The back and forth between the two poles of Gregor's life will culminate in 'The Metamorphosis.' Theater for the New City will present the play's world premiere February 26 to March 15, directed by Manfred Bormann.

After having spent nearly half of my career singing Rossini's operatic heroines (12 different productions of The Barber of Seville and 5 Cenerentolas) I feel that I have come to know his vocal writing very intimately. I'm not sure how many times I've sung Rosina's aria Una Voce Poco Fasince I learned it when I was 16 years old, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was literally in the thousands by now.

To many Americans, Australia is a land that conjures images that are romantic, exotic, and wild-the locale of Crocodile Dundee, The Man From Snowy River, and Baz Luhrmann's films; but for two years national award winning playwright Mahonri Stewart called it his home. As a result from his time there, Stewart took a strong interest in Australia's history, mythology, and heritage, from which he derived his newest play Evening Eucalyptus.
