“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.

“Ideation” Makes a Strong Impression in NYC

In this world, this small big world, things happen constantly we know nothing about. Or we know about it but we don’t really. Or maybe everyone is on the joke, but you.
