“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.

“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 […]

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 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 […]

The show is called “A Kind Shot,” which came with some buzz from the very important Fringe Festival, and it was located in the well known theater the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. I was excited for two […]

It was a rainy and dreadful Saturday afternoon. It was the coldest day of the Fall so far, and the wind was unforgiving. I was on my way to Harlem to watch a show to review it and the climate was not making it easy for this to be an enjoyable experience. As I walked in, I was welcomed by […]

Rosie Bitts brings us tales of sex, love and passion […]

Last Friday night, I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of catching The Frog & Peach Theater Company’s production of William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus at the West End Theater. A huge Shakespeare fan myself, I was thrilled and excited to be able to go see this play. This particular story was one I was not at all familiar with, […]
