Theater Obituary: ROBERT WILSON (1941-2025)
VISIONARY OF STILLNESS AND LIGHT The line was always the thing. Before speech, before movement, there was line. Line as structure, line as breath, line as the actual measurement of time. In the theatre-world Wilson built and then rebuilt across five decades, a single raised eyebrow might require five full minutes to complete its journey….

Theater Review: THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE (Hudson Backstage)
SEXLESS IN THE CITY Have you ever been with a guy who won’t shut up and just enjoy the blow job? That’s what it’s like to sit through Ashley Griffin’s new two-person play, The Opposite of Love, which premiered last year off-Broadway, and is now having its first West Coast performances at the Hudson Backstage…

Off-Broadway Review: ROLLING THUNDER (New World Stages)
PATCHWORK PATRIOTISM, POWERED BY A KILLER SETLIST With a book credited to Bryce Hallett, one may expect Rolling Thunder to be a new Off-Broadway musical. Despite the presence of a librettist, however, the show—now playing at New World Stages—functions far more as a rock concert than a traditional book musical. Of its 2-hour runtime, only…

ICONIC DIRECTORS WHO SHAPED THE FILM INDUSTRY
Directors aren’t a part of the crew. They are visionary storytellers, often behind the cameras, who take words on a script and turn them into moving pictures. Directors are the brains behind masterpieces that most audiences are relishing, influencing a new generation of filmmakers. The film production industry is one of the fastest-growing industries, with…

Off-Broadway Review: GENE & GILDA (Penguin Rep at 59E59)
Hollywood is full of iconic love stories but none is quite as brilliantly weird and tragically sweet as the romance between Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner, two comedy legends who fell madly in love somewhere between a silly goof and a punch line. And it is hard to think of somebody wanting to put their…

Opening the new season of Chicago Shakespeare, this crowd-pleasing world premiere follows Billie Jean from her childhood in the 1950s through to the US Open in 2006 when the USTA National Tennis…

WHY NEW ZEALAND IS HOLLYWOOD’S FAVORITE BACKLOT — AND STILL ITS BEST-KEPT SECRET
New Zealand is often described as Hollywood’s open-air studio. From the rolling hills of Hobbiton to the dramatic fjords of Milford Sound, the country’s theatrical landscapes have anchored some of the world’s most iconic film productions. Yet despite its cinematic prominence, New Zealand remains less top-of-mind than more established filming centers. Exactly the paradox that makes it…

Theater Review: ICE CREAM BLONDE (Actors Company)

Theater Review: ARTEMIS BOOKS & THE WELL-MEANING MAN (The Village Theater at Rivendell Theatre Ensemble)
AN EXTREMELY FEMINIST PLAY. OR IS IT? Never meet a man, they say. What happens if we have to work with one? Artemis Books & The Well-Meaning Man poses the complex question of how, if at all, men should be allowed into women’s safe spaces—or if it’s unethical to exclude them. The Village Theater’s world…
-
Theater Review: BETSY & PATTY FIND OUT (The Broadwater)
WAITING FOR COWDOT Normally, a surfeit of hyphens in any production assures trouble ahead, but Aaron Francis, the writer-director-designer-producer of this subversive, potent indictment of the lethal potential of passivity, has shown himself the exception that either tests or proves that rule. In Betsy & Patty Find Out at the Broadwater Second Stage, seven cows…

UNDRESS HER: AI’S ROLE IN REIMAGINING CELEBRITY CULTURE
Can you imagine what Marilyn Monroe would look like today using modern AI stylization? Or how iconic moments from red carpets might appear through a digital lens?
