The Workshop

Only a few days left to catch The Workshop, which I highly recommend! My review for the Times is here.

A chat with Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen is an interesting actress, with interesting things to say. We talked about her new movies, but mostly about what it means for her to be an actress these days. Click here for the Q&A in the Village Voice.

Summer Shorts Series A

This year's edition of Summer Shorts is quite good, or at least Series A here. Thataway for my review in the Times.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Lear deBessonet tackled A Midsummer Night's Dream at Shakespeare in the Park and, well, I guessed she did tackle it to the ground. There were a lot of actors I usually love, and the one who did best was Jeff Hiller. Here's my take for Newsday.

The Bubbly Black Girl

I'd missed Kirsten Childs' The Bubbly Black Girl Sheds Her Chameleon Skin back in 2000 but I loved Robert O'Hara's production for Encores! Off-Center. My review for Newsday is here.

New York Musical Festival

I sampled three shows at the New York Musical Festival, and wrote about them for the Times. Click here for my take. More to come on NYMF, I'm sure!

Martin Denton, Martin Denton

I went down to the Kraine to check out this double-named tribute to the godfather of a certain kind of Off Off Broadway scene. Click here for my review.

The Three Musketeers

Classical Theatre of Harlem is doing The Three Musketeers outdoors and I reviewed it for the Times. Click here for my take on this take — featuring a Mademoiselle D'Artagnan!
