Theater Review: FALLING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN OF GREAT STORMS (Broad Theatre / The Rosette / Austin, TX)
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS An ambitious, sometimes mesmerizing meditation on catastrophe takes big risks— and occasionally loses its footing Years ago, I argued with a friend over whether Cormac McCarthy was too difficult a novelist. My friend found his prose dense, confusing, and hostile, but I insisted that McCarthy was actually training us. It’s…

Theater Review: WINDOWS (PrideArts / Chicago)
WINDOWS NEEDS MORE SPIT AND POLISH An appealing young cast can’t overcome a world-premiere script that remains frustratingly unformed On a couch in a small apartment sits a sullen young woman. Piles of snack bags and junk food remnants surround her. She doesn’t move, except to adjust the blanket on her lap. Behind her is…

Album Review: SONGS OF HOPE, INSPIRATION AND JOY (Sir Roland Hanna)
EIGHTY-EIGHT KEYS TO SOMEWHERE ELSE A transporting collection from a jazz master makes one spin feel nowhere near enough Nearly a quarter-century after Sir Roland Hanna’s death, a new compilation reminds us just how alive his music remains—Hanna can still make time disappear.

Theater Review: THE COMPLEX WHOLE SO FORMED (The Neo-Futurists / Chicago)
SOUND AND FURY, SIGNIFYING PLENTY A sound artist steps out of the booth with a powerful, deeply personal work that, in production, may be better heard than seen Over five thousand shows: that’s how many productions Ryn Hardiman has sound engineered for the Neo-Futurists, an avant-garde group of performers who delight in violating the rules…

Off-Broadway Review: THE VESSEL (59E59 Theaters)
A VIEW FROM THE INSIDE An intriguing drama keeps climbing but never quite reaches the heights it promises The New York premiere of The Vessel by Brendan George combines nonfiction with fiction, inspired by the true story of New York City’s infamous Hudson Yards landmark. The 150-foot-tall structure with eight levels of interconnected stairs and…

Theater Review: DRACULA: THE MUSICAL (The Nocturne Theatre / Glendale)
SINK YOUR TEETH INTO THIS A gloriously excessive spectacle eventually falls victim to an overdose of songs The Nocturne Theatre in Glendale is quickly becoming one of my favorite venues in the City of Angels. Justin & Melissa Meyer are masters of high theatricality and demigods of over-the-top razzle-dazzle, what I have lovingly dubbed “Kitchen…

Off-Broadway Review: AN AMERICAN DAUGHTER (La Femme Theatre Productions / Pershing Square Signature Center)
A WOMAN UNDER THE MICROSCOPE Wendy Wasserstein’s political comedy remains disturbingly current nearly three decades after its Broadway premiere How fitting that La Femme Theatre Productions, an Off-Broadway company dedicated to exploring and celebrating the universal female experience, should revive Wendy Wasserstein’s An American Daughter.

HOW A HYGROMETER HELPS PREVENT BASEMENT MOLD IN THEATERS AND HOMES
Basements are notorious for cool, dank environments, making them prime real estate for mold. If you’ve ever walked downstairs to fetch a holiday box or laundry and noticed a lingering, earthy odor, high humidity is likely the culprit. Mold spores are everywhere, but they need moisture to settle and thrive. Fortunately, preventing mold in your…

HOW MUSICIANS AND THEATRE TEAMS ARE USING AI VIDEO FOR VISUAL CONCEPTS AND TEASERS
The design meeting for a new production has a familiar shape. The director describes something she can see perfectly clearly in her head. The set designer nods. The lighting designer nods. Six weeks later, in the room, it turns out all three people were imagining different things, and there is no money left to fix…

FORGE OR ESSENTIAL: DO YOU REALLY NEED A FULL SERVER OR JUST A CLIENT MOD?
Every Minecraft player hits this fork in the road eventually. Someone in a Discord recommends Forge, someone else swears by Essential, and suddenly the whole thing sounds more complicated than it needs to be. But the truth is that these two tools solve completely different problems. One builds worlds. The other polishes how you experience…

Theater Review: SLAVA UKRAINI! (OR WAITING FOR ELON) (A Few Thoughts Theatre Company / Atwater Village Theatre / LA)

HOW CAN ANIMATED BIRTHDAY CARDS MAKE EVERY CELEBRATION MEMORABLE
A simple text of Happy Birthday is read and forgotten in half a second. That type of generic message hardly sticks in a world where everyone receives a lot of notifications, and it is even less likely to make a person feel truly celebrated. Birthdays should not be given a one-line copy-pasted line as a…
