Welcome Back to NYC “The Motherf**ker with the Hat”

Welcome Back to NYC “The Motherf**ker with the Hat”

The layers on Stephen Adly Guirgis’s “The Motherf**ker with the Hat” are so delightfully constructed that peeling them back is pure theatrical joy. It’s a rarity in most urban plays, where playful language sometimes takes over theme and plot. Not for Guirgis; he sees the beauty in people that society has dismissed and he brings it out for us to […]

Dandy Darkly Brings his “Myth Mouth” to NYC in Style

There I was, just a regular night in New York City. I was going to the dungeon famously named Under St. Mark’s, known for being a staple on the off-off Broadway scene. As I went down the stairs and inside the space, things changed. The atmosphere was different. I was being transported somewhere, and that somewhere had a bizarre clown guiding […]

“Orwell in America” and the Tale of Two Great Performances

George Orwell is one of those names that seem to be on everyone’s mind even when you have never read a work of his. His unique take on communism, totalitarianism, and the vain nature of men has been studied for decades now, in high school and colleges. His work has been opening minds to have their own beliefs since he […]

A Diamond in the Rough: Aladdin on Broadway

A Diamond in the Rough: Aladdin on Broadway

  An evening on Broadway is always a treat, but unfortunately some shows get more hype than others (we’re looking at you, Hamilton). Just because you can’t afford the sky high ticket prices for Hamilton is no reason to skip out on seeing a Broadway show altogether. And what shows have better music than Disney? (Trick question: none.) We recently […]

There’s Nothing Scary About Switching to Verizon FiOS

For all you New Yorkers still using Time Warner Cable…what’re you waiting for?! When I used that service, my cable cut in and out all the time and my internet was slow.

“Chokehold” Tries to be Important, but Falters

In 2009, Oscar Grant was shot by the police after a small dispute with another person. He didn’t deserve to be shot and murdered, but he was. He wasn’t the first or the last, and with internet and the world wide web taking over, we have seen many new examples of this since then. A movement was started, people rallied, […]

“Missed Connections: A Craigslist Musical” is an Ode to Our Bizarre Nature

“Missed Connections: A Craigslist Musical” is an Ode to Our Bizarre Nature

People are strange. We are, we all are. Let’s admit this. We are full of oddities that make us unique; in fact, it is the oddities that make each of us a person. Most people are comparable to another person, very few are considered special in the grand scheme of things. That’s because people are ashamed of sharing those little […]
