THE IMPACT OF iGAMING AND CASINO CULTURE ON ENTERTAINMENT
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, entertainment has transcended traditional boundaries of film, music, and television to encompass interactive, immersive experiences. One of the most fascinating phenomena of the information era has been the growing intersection between internet gambling (iGaming) and mainstream entertainment culture.

Whether it’s a theater production, a music concert, or a dance performance, the energy and authenticity of live events create an unforgettable experience. For students, engaging with live performances can go beyond mere entertainment—it can be…

Theater Review: WE ARE CONTINUOUS (Diversionary Theatre)
CONTINUOUSLY ENTERTAINING What’s most striking about the excellent we are continuous by Harrison David Rivers (The Bandaged Place, This Bitter Earth) is that it doesn’t just break the fourth wall occasionally—it shatters it entirely. The writing style is unlike anything I’ve seen in a multi-actor staging. It’s more akin to three-person storytelling, where the other two characters…

Theater Review: IN THE HEIGHTS (Signature Theatre in VA)
MORE THAN JUST A REVIVAL, THIS INTIMATE IN THE HEIGHTS IS A JOYFUL TRIBUTE TO COMMUNITY AND DREAMS Before Hamilton changed the face of Broadway, there was In the Heights—Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first revolution. Bursting onto the scene in 2008, it infused hip-hop, salsa, merengue, Broadway, and street-smart storytelling into a genre that never saw it…
-
Theater Review: DESPERATE MEASURES (International City Theatre in Long Beach)
A SHAKESPEAREAN WESTERN MUSICAL? DON’T WORRY, IT MEASURES UP The wild west sizzles with song and chaos in Desperate Measures, the rootin’-tootin’ Wild West musical shinin’ bright at International City Theatre in Long Beach. Peter Kellogg (book and lyrics) and David Friedman (music) convert a Shakespearean problem play into a hootenanny of moral quandaries, mistaken…
-
Film Review: ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE (directed by Molly Bernstein and Philip Dolin)
OF MICE AND PENS It’s in the name: comics are supposed to be comical. The funny pages are a place for lasagna-craving kitties, pet pilots and friendly tigers — certainly not the stage on which to unpack heavy emotions or examine brutal histories. Right? Well, Art Spiegelman would beg to differ. And while the name…

Theater Review: THE GROVE (Huntington Theatre Company)
OUT OF THE WOODS AND INTO THE GROVE The second in Mfoniso Udofia’s ambitious nine-play Ufot Family Cycle, The Grove, directed by Awoye Timpo, picks up the story of the Ufot family over three decades after the first play, Sojourners, introduced us to Abasiama Ufot, a Nigerian woman who comes to the United States to…

Off-Broadway Review: SAFE HOUSE (St. Ann’s Warehouse)
IT’S SAFE TO DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS AT HOUSE St. Ann’s Warehouse, in association with New York’s Irish Arts Center, presents Safe House, a one-person song cycle originally produced at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre. Running for a limited engagement through March 2, this haunting and esoteric production has a pile-driving performance by Kate Gilmore. Walsh describes the…
-
Theater Review: HEDDA GABLER (Apollinaire Theatre Company)
BEAUTIFUL, BORED, AND BENT ON DESTRUCTION For a taut psychological drama fraught with sexual tension, Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler remains unrivaled, and Parker Jennings delivers a mesmerizing performance as the title character—a woman simmering with rage beneath a veneer of poise, trapped in a world that offers her no escape. With astute director Danielle Fauteux…

Off-Broadway Review: STILL (Loreto Theatre, The Sheen Center)
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT, WILL EX-LOVERS REUNITE OR FIGHT? After decades apart, can the passion of once-young lovers sizzle again, like leftover pizza zapped in the microwave? Picking up an old relationship isn’t as easy as picking up takeout—food doesn’t come with the “Can we be a couple again?” dilemma. Still, playing at…

Theater Review: THE BEDWETTER – A NEW MUSICAL (Arena Stage in D.C.)
URINE LUCK WITH THIS NUMBER ONE MUSICAL Sarah Silverman’s The Bedwetter splashes onto Arena Stage’s Kreeger Theater with a gleeful irreverence that belies its emotional depth. Adapted from Silverman’s 2010 memoir, this musical—co-written with Joshua Harmon, with music by the late Adam Schlesinger—turns childhood mortification (incontinence, self-acceptance, and family dysfunction) into comedy gold. Under Anne…

Theater Review: OKLAHOMA! (Valley Opera and Performing Arts at El Portal in North Hollywood)
WHAT A RELIEF: OKLAHOMA! IS OK WITH VOPA The real stars of Oklahoma!, presented for two weekends only by Valley Opera and Performing Arts (VOPA) at the El Portal Theatre, are—no surprise—Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. Hammerstein’s 1943 book remains solidly funny and sweet, avoiding the pitfalls of age with its lack of overt sentimentality,…

Dance Review: GOLDEN HOUR (Joffrey Ballet Mixed Rep)
JOFFREY ADDS SURPRISE TO A PROGRAM ALREADY BRIMMING WITH EXCELLENT DANCE Joffrey Ballet certainly must be conscious of its earth shifting habits. More likely, its propensity for greatly broadening ballet’s possibilities has been welded into the dance company’s DNA. Joffrey’s four-piece winter program Golden Hour showcases adventurously inventive choreography and splendid dance converge to prove…

Cabaret Review: BEYOND THE WALLS OF JOE ALLEN (Backstage Babble at 54 Below)
BACKSTAGE BABBLE AT STUDIO 54: TOPS WITH FLOPS Not every musical is a hit, and some barely get a chance to stumble before vanishing into obscurity. The midtown Manhattan nightclub 54 Below has an ongoing concert series that explores Broadway’s Greatest Hits—but what about Broadway’s greatest flops? Last night on February 19, Beyond the Walls of…

Opera Review: ADORATION (LA Opera at REDCAT)
IT’S TOUGH TO ADORE ADORATION; BUT WAS IT MEANT TO BE? I always look forward to new operas presented by Los Angeles Opera and Beth Morrison Projects. They are back with another one: Adoration, with music by Mary Kouyoumdjian and libretto by Royce Vavrek, based on the eponymous 2008 Canadian film by Atom Egoyan. It…
