TAYLOR MADE During his 64-year career, Paul Taylor helped lead, define, and shape American modern dance.

Theater Review: TICK, TICK … BOOM! (Umbrella Stage Company in Concord, MA)
THINGS THAT GO BOOM AND JUST RIGHT It’s impossible to see a production of Jonathan Larson’s Tick, Tick … Boom! without seeing it as a precursor to his Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Rent. All the elements are there—aspiring creatives living in lower Manhattan squalor, the lethal creep of AIDS, anxiety about “selling out” and abandoning dreams….

THE ART OF THE BACKDROP: HOW AI BACKGROUNDS ARE REINVENTING PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
Not so long ago, entrepreneurs in small businesses would have to settle for pricey studio shoots or clunky DIY setups just to have good product pictures. Wrinkled paper, white bed sheets, and unflattering shadows were the usual fare for most startups trying to make their products appear professional. However, in 2025, the situation is very…

Off-Broadway Review: BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL (Encores! at New York City Center)
THIS BAT COMES OUT SWINGING Back in the nineties when tabloids ruled the world, there was one especially erroneous publication: Weekly World News. Presenting stories so outrageously false yet purported to be true, this particular rag was always good for a laugh. One such story that flew from their front page into a bemused pop…

Concert Review: CÉCILE McLORIN SALVANT (Berklee Performance Center, Boston MA)
VIVIDLY VIRTUOSIC Cécile McLorin Salvant describes herself as hovering “between orthodoxy and heterodoxy” as well as being “really, really eclectic” and “interested in traditions and roots and history.” Her November 1 performance at Berklee Performance Center, part of the Boston Celebrity Series, beautifully encompassed those diverse tendencies.

Dance Review: AN EVENING WITH JOHAN INGER (Gibney Company Up Close at New York Live Arts)
RUNNING IN PLACE AMONG THE STARS: A TRANSFIXING EVENING OF JOHAN INGER “I hate dance reviews,” my friend says to me during intermission.

Theater Review: LIZARD BOY (SpeakEasy Stage)

ONE FACE, TWENTY ROLES: How AI Headshots Are Redefining Actor Versatility
When Sarah Martinez submitted for a period drama audition last year, her contemporary headshot, complete with modern makeup and styling, went straight to the rejection pile.
