Everyone hear this now! New work in theater is alive and well! That’s how I felt after watching David Brian Colbert’s play “C.O.A.L (Confessions of a Liar)” at the 59E59 Theaters. The play is a strong, clever, and contains a sneakily deep exploration about how lies are what construct the truth in this society. Our hero is called Coal, and […]

New York’s beloved Frigid Theater Festival is in full swing. On the agenda this year is a new show written and directed by Taryn Parrish called Hey ’90s Kids, You’re Old. Having grown up in the 90s myself, I was really looking forward to seeing this show and reliving the glory years where Beanie Babies were the shit, pog wars […]

In 2000, Ray Lewis was convicted of murder for the stabbing of two individuals. His murder charges were later dismissed, but he still served a year of probation for obstruction of justice. In a moment that seems out of a movie, Ray Lewis came back the next year and won the Super Bowl with the Ravens. Richard III is a […]

“Ni***s really want it bad in the hood” are words that are said by Ceez, the main character, within the first 10 minutes of the play “Paradox of the Urban Cliché.” He says this to make his antagonist understand the way he lives. Why do I start my review like this? Because he wasn’t saying that to his antagonist alone, […]

“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 […]

I recently saw a performance of Sex Tips For Straight Women From A Gay Man and it was amongst one of the […]

Many times in this life, I’ve seen an endless amount plays/movies/TV shows about writers and their tribulations. In fact, I did one myself, right at the beginning of my writing career while I was still in college. The play was chosen for a New Playwrights Festival and it was about a writer dealing with writer’s block and the problems that were […]

New York City, the perfect spot to have a holiday vacation. The lights are brighter here, the streets are full of the red and green, and everyone has a gay ol’ time. At least that’s what you will do if you head down to the Lower East Side of this beautiful city and enjoy a little holiday spirit with Joey […]

The Brightness of Heaven by Laura Pedersen has found a new home at the Cherry Lane Theatre. I was very excited to see this latest production because I had the chance to see the earlier production that took part of the Manhattan Repertory Theater Fall Play Festival in 2012. It’s a great feeling to see the changes that a piece […]

When Friday night came around, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. It was one of my rare evenings off from work and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to stay at home with my Netflix or dress up and experience the city that never sleeps. Luckily, I was spared the taxing process of making a decision […]
