Interview: Holly Sidell on Portraying Isabel in CROSSING DELANCEY
by Shari Barrett - May 27, 2026
Told through a series of vignettes, Crossing Delancey examines Bubbie's belief in the old-world Jewish family custom of all young women needing to find a husband as soon as possible to settle down and raise a family against those of Isabel, a modern 1980s Jewish woman in New York City learning to stand on her own two feet. I spoke with Holly Sidell who is portraying Isabel in the current production at Theatre 40 in Beverly Hills through June 21.
Review: ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART ONE: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES at Theater West End
by Albert Gutierrez - Jan 18, 2026
While much of the dramatic weight of Angels in America undeniably stems from the specter of AIDS, it would do the play a huge disservice to reduce it to a story about disease alone.

Review: AN IMMERSIVE VOYAGE ON TITANIC at Union Station
by Alan Portner - Nov 24, 2025
Titanic… An Immersive Experience. The Exhibit has opened at Union Station for a multi-month run through April of 2026. The key word is “Immersive.”
“Immersion” means that audience members are meant to feel like they are part of the experience. The Titanic Immersion Voyage is the next logical step towards achieving what it must have been like to have been aboard the RMS Titanic on that cold April night in back 1912, 400 miles east of Newfoundland when she struck an iceberg, foundered, and lost 1500 of her passengers and crew to the icy north Atlantic while on her maiden voyage to New York.

by Alan Portner - Jul 7, 2025
Madcap! Frenetic! Hilarious! It is the New Theatre Restaurant production of CLUE.
