Review: KING JAMES at Round House Theatre
by David Friscic - June 09, 2025
The play King James –now at the Round House Theatre ---is like a pleasurable afternoon shooting hoops with a friend in the summer. This character-driven play by Rajiv Joseph (who gave us the play Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo---which was presented at Round House in 2012) is entertaining and refreshingly absorbing in moments; it lingers in the mind like a fond glow.

Review: ANDY WARHOL IN IRAN at Mosaic Theater
by Mary Lincer - June 02, 2025
Andy Warhol really did go to Iran. In 1976, the Shah's wife, Farah Pahlavi, arranged to sit for Polaroid photos which Warhol would then use as a basecoat for a series of prints, and Andrew Cohen reproduces Warhol's image of her as a permanently present part of his set design. Warhol also could really order reasonably priced caviar from his hotel's room service

Review: New York Circus Project's LIQUID is an Early Summer Highlight !!
by Andrew White - May 31, 2025
“Liquid” is 60 minutes of nonstop punk, erotic, aerial fun—with whips and chains thrown in for good measure.

The variety and artistry on display are truly inspiring, and the gear, along with Raul Contreras’ smooth choreography—like Rocky Horror on steroids—provides a daring visual edge to the proceedings.
