Theater Review: ALANIS MORISSETTE’S JAGGED LITTLE PILL: THE MUSICAL (Center REP / Lesher Center for the Arts / Walnut Creek)
YOU LEARN… OR YOU DON’T The songs still hit hard, but the family drama built around them feels overly familiar More often than not, as a critic, I like to go into a show cold, without many expectations. Given that Jagged Little Pill is built around Alanis Morissette’s landmark 1995 album, I assumed it might…

Theater Review: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (Chicago Shakespeare Theater)
LOVE ON THE RANGE, PAIN ON THE HORIZON A beautiful musical framework strengthens a stage adaptation that never quite resolves its competing impulses In 1997, a short story from Pulitzer winner Annie Proulx appeared in the pages of The New Yorker. Beginning in the 1960s in Wyoming, it was a restrained yet heartbreaking tale of…
-
Dance Review: EUGENE ONEGIN (Joffrey Ballet)
FROM PAGE TO PAS DE DEUX Possokhov’s adaptation captures Pushkin’s aching tale of missed chances and irreversible choices Alexander Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin is so deeply embedded in Russian culture that generations of schoolchildren have memorized passages from it. Yet familiarity is no guarantee against heartbreak. Yuri Possokhov‘s ballet adaptation—a co-production with San Francisco Ballet now…

5 BEST SITES TO BUY INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS IN 2026 (TESTED AND RANKED)
Instagram now has over 2.5 billion monthly active users. Every niche is saturated. Every creator is posting consistently. And Meta’s algorithm has become less forgiving — it favors profiles that already have credibility signals, which means new accounts struggle to gain visibility even with genuinely good content. The data is stark: accounts with fewer than…

Theater Review: LOVE JOY RESISTANCE (Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre, Auditorium Theatre Chicago)
THIRTY YEARS DEEP, STILL REACHING HIGHER Deeply Rooted celebrates its past while boldly pointing toward the future Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre (DRDT) initiated its hard-fought existence exactly thirty years ago when it was a small company intent on celebrating the unique cultural contributions of Black America through dance. Now, three decades later, its success allows…

Theater Review: ANTIGONE (Promethean Theatre Ensemble / The Den Theatre / Chicago)
THE TRAGEDY’S THE THING A few baffling choices can’t derail the explosive clash at the heart of Anouilh’s classic There are a number of missteps in this production of Anouilh’s Antigone, presented by the Promethean ensemble at The Den Theatre. Fortunately for the show, they’re almost entirely confined to the relatively unimportant parts. Jean Anouilh’s…
-
Dance Review: SPECTACULAR BALANCHINE! (American Contemporary Ballet / Los Angeles)
BALANCHINE IN A BOX ACB proves intimacy can be both an asset and a liability George Balanchine said he needed nothing but a stage, some light, and dancers. He also had the New York City Ballet, a full orchestra, and the State Theater. He had, more to the point, spent forty years teaching Americans what…
-
Off-Broadway Review: BLOOMING IN DRY SEASON (Woodie King Jr.’s New Federal Theatre & North Carolina Black Repertory Company / WP Theater)
A CALYPSO OF CLASHING DREAMS A richly acted Caribbean family drama flourishes despite a few overgrown passages There’s much that can happen within the confines of a thirty-year marriage. Struggles, triumphs and everything in between that a man and woman can weather, based on their vows before God and their love for each other. It’s…
-
Theater Review: ANDY WARHOL PRESENTS: THE COCAINE PLAY (Jackalope Theatre / Chicago)
FIFTEEN MINUTES FOREVER Terry Guest turns pop-art icons into a meditation on immortality I may have passed on the foil-lined photo booth—too Bug for me—on my way into Jackalope Theatre’s intimate performance space at The Broadway Armory, but its presence is merely the first indication of the imagination and inventiveness awaiting audiences in the world…
-
Theater Review: PRIMARY TRUST (Center Theatre Group / Mark Taper Forum)
A COMMUNITY OF ONE Eboni Booth’s Pulitzer-winning drama finds theatrical poetry in loneliness and hope Primary Trust is the sort of play that reminds us why theater matters. I want to state this at the outset, to avoid any risk of it becoming entangled in the words that follow: If you are impassioned by theater—or…

6 BEST SITES TO BUY TIKTOK FOLLOWERS IN 2026

HOW DIGITAL COMICS BORROW TECHNIQUES FROM FILM AND THEATER
Digital comics share more with film and theater than many readers realize. Framing, pacing, visual composition, and scene transitions all help shape how audiences experience a story, even when those techniques are adapted to a static page rather than a moving image. The research from The Business Research Company indicates that the global digital comics…

MY BRUTALLY HONEST REVIEW OF “THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE”
I went into The Testament of Ann Lee expecting a pretty straightforward historical drama with some musical elements tacked on top. Safe, structured, and easy to follow. Instead, I got a movie that feels much more strange, much more artistic, and frankly… much more divisive than I expected. If you are easily pleased, this is…

UPSCALING INDIE FILM FOOTAGE FOR FESTIVAL SUBMISSIONS
Sundance, Tribeca, and most respected festivals quietly raised their preferred delivery specs to 4K in the last two years, and several streaming acquisitions teams now treat 4K as a baseline.
