As someone who is a part of Generation X, I’m always intrigued to hear stories about the previous generation, Baby Boomers. Born between 1944 and 1964, their name comes from the uptick in the post-WWII birth rate. If you really want to understand someone better, I believe, you should start with where they came from, so I’m always looking to […]

Language in all its glory is the main source of the history we know. The evolution of language through the ages, and what it managed to accomplish when used right, is fascinating. Through centuries, languages have been created, bent, used and abused to entertain and progress our societies. Language is both our most important tool and our way to a […]

Art in all its subjectiveness has helped shape culture since the beginning of civilization. From drawings on a cave wall to stories being projected on a huge screen, art has had its hand in popularizing trends throughout history.

Outside the big shiny area with names  like “Hamilton,” or “Spring Awakening,” productions were wowing audiences. The festivals provided us with terrific productions from independent companies that have to hustle and grind to do what they love. […]

A rollercoaster ride of emotions, Lonesome Traveler is amongst one of the best productions that I have seen so far this year. I don’t consider myself a fan of folk music, so I found myself excited yet curious to see what I was going to witness at 59E59 Theaters.

“Eyes For Consuela” is a surrealist exploration of love, life, and death set deep in the Mexican jungles in the late 90’s. Written by Sam Shepard, the play pits Henry, an American man running away from the north, against the Mexican Jungle and more precisely Amado, his torturer. As the night goes on to the next day, our two protagonists […]
