Exponential Festival 2022

The Exponential Festival went digital this year, and I watched seven of the shows (the fest concludes on Monday). It was a discombobulating experience, which is reflected in my account for The New York Times.

Five sci-fi movies for January

The latest batch of under-the-radar science-fiction movies is out, and the timing is perfect: it's snowy and cold in NYC — cue up some flicks! Click here for the list.

Ricky Ian Gordon

Two composers have two operas running in January: Puccini and Ricky Ian Gordon. I wrote about the latter for the Times. Thataway for the profile. 

Conrad Ricamora

I've long been a fan of Conrad Ricamora's, having enjoyed his performances in shows as stylistically diverse as Here Lies Love, The King and I and Soft Power. I was psyched to talk to him as he takes on Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors. Click here for the profile.

Witcher mood board

It was super-fun to chat with showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich about some of the inspirations behind the Netflix series The Witcher! Read on here.
