Recommended Dance: ACB JAZZ (American Contemporary Ballet at Bank of America Plaza)

SANDWICHING GOOD STORYTELLING BETWEEN TWO SLICES OF COMEDY Remember Linda Lavin’s old TV sit-com Alice?

Off-Broadway Review: JONAH (Roundabout at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center)
A mysterious coming-of-age story that focuses on women’s sexuality, written and directed by two talented artists like Rachel Bonds and Danya Taymor, was unquestionably the reason I wanted to see Jonah, presented by Roundabout Theater.

Theater Review: LITTLE PEASANTS (Food Tank at The Burren Backroom in Somerville, MA)
SOLIDARITY FOREVER The workshop reading of Food Tank’s Little Peasants at The Burren Backroom, a venue known more for Irish, Bluegrass, Appalachian, Roots, Jazz, and Blues than theater, is all the more engrossing for being rough around the edges.
