Film Review: ALMOST POPULAR (Directed by Nayip Anthony Garcia | Available on VOD September 23)
HIGH SCHOOL HIGHS, AND LOWS AND WOES If you didn’t already learn or experience that the social elements of going to high school can be hell – with the insecurity of trying for maturity, the cliques of cool kids, the miseries of misfits, being bullied, and purposefully pursuing popularity – the movies are here to…

Theater Review: OUR TOWN (Lyric Stage Company of Boston)
OUR TOWN, AND YOURS Thorton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer Prize winning play Our Town is a masterpiece, drawing on inspiration from the likes of Bertholt Brecht and traditional Chinese theatre. With touches of feminism ahead of his time, and a celebration of the connections between the everyday and the cosmic dimensions of human experience, Wilder constructed…

Theater Review: A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER (Laguna Playhouse)
MURDER NEVER SOUNDED SO SWEET The gentleman killer returns to Southern California with a smile that could polish the silver. In a joint run between Laguna Playhouse and North Coast Repertory, this A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder arrives in Laguna looking eager to please and blessedly well cast, though the gilding runs somewhat…
-
Theater Review: MR. WOLF (Steppenwolf Theatre)
STUNNING AND UNSETTLING, MR. WOLF IS AT THE DOOR Steppenwolf Theatre’s Chicago premiere of Mr. Wolf is a searing examination of parental sacrifice, loss, and the elusive nature of home. Under K. Todd Freeman’s direction, this production takes what could be an exploitative premise and instead delivers something hopeful and profound. Caroline Neff, Namir Smallwood,…
-
Theater Review: THE CEREMONY (Chuang Stage)
MULTILINGUAL PRE-WEDDING JITTERS The sixth play in Mfoniso Udofia’s nine-play Ufot Family Cycle brings us the adorable couple Ekong Ufot (Kadahj Bennett) and Lumanti Shrestha (Mahima Saigal) as they struggle with Ekong’s deeply damaged father (Adrian Roberts as Nsikan Disciple Ufot) in the final weeks of what should be happy preparations for their wedding. The…

FROM STAGE TO SCREEN: HOW THEATER CONTINUES TO SHAPE MODERN CINEMA
The lasting bond between live performance and film has given audiences some of the most memorable narratives in recent history. Theatrical customs of dialogue, character portrayal and symbolism have long influenced motion pictures, guiding directors and scriptwriters who still draw heavily from stagecraft. One of the most intriguing connections is the recurring theme of wagering,…

Concert Review: RACHMANINOFF & SIBELIUS (Pacific Symphony | Ludovic Morlot, conductor | Alessio Bax, pianist)
PACIFIC SYMPHONY OPENS ITS 48TH SEASON WITH RUSSIAN SOUL AND FINNISH SPIRIT Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, is one of the most beloved works in the piano repertoire. Composed between 1900 and 1901, it marked a turning point in Rachmaninoff’s career, emerging from a period of deep personal and creative…

CASINO HEISTS: CINEMATIC THRILLS AND REALITY
The image of a casino heist is a staple of modern cinema, promising high-stakes action and clever criminals. These films tap into a universal fantasy of beating the system for a massive payout. The allure of these stories often mirrors the excitement players seek on platforms like Sloterman AUS. This connection between fictional thrill-seeking and…
-
Theater Review: GO PLAY! (Odyssey Theatre Ensemble)
WHAT DOGS REALLY THINK ABOUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE Those of us who have ever lived with a beloved canine companion (I hesitate to use the word “owned” since I question who really owns whom) certainly know the amount of time spent happily together sharing human concerns and feelings with no hope of a canine verbal response….

Theater Review: MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON — Apt. 2B (Gloucester Stage Company, Gloucester MA)
SLEUTHING FOR LAUGHS? YOU’LL FIND THEM HERE It’s elementary! A clever script, thanks to the prolific and popular playwright Kate Hamill, and superb physical and verbal comedy, thanks to a great quartet of actors, make Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson — Apt. 2B the perfect solution to the puzzle of how to find a satisfying…

Chicago Theater Review: THE BOOK OF WILL (Promethean Theatre Ensemble)
WHERE THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY Late in the first act of Lauren Gunderson’s The Book of Will, a character makes an impassioned plea to her husband, John Heminges, one of William Shakespeare’s original troupe of actors. In the immediate context of the play, she’s trying to convince him to take on the herculean task of collecting and…
-
Off-Broadway Review: BREAKING THE FIFTH WALL (Lou Wall at SoHo Playhouse and on Tour)
LOU WALL SLAYS, AND THAT’S NO LIE Whether a comedian is obligated to tell the truth in their act comes up in mainstream discourse every once and a while. Plenty of comedians start a comedy bit with “You know, a funny thing happened to me on my way over here,” knowing full well it happened…
-
Theater Review: GANGSTA BABY (Open Space Arts)
NOBODY PUTS THIS BABY IN A CORNER A set doesn’t get any sparser than the one for Gangsta Baby, in the sense that there isn’t one. You step in off the street into a basement with two dozen chairs arranged along the walls. In a corner is a small built-in kitchenette, original to the building….
-
Theater Review: THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR (Shakespeare Theatre Company)
THE WIVES HAVE NEVER BEEN MERRIER The point of The Merry Wives of Windsor was to give Jack Falstaff a bit more time on the stage, beyond the bounds of Shakespeare’s history plays, where his comic genius is hemmed in by the serious matter of battles for land and succession. The character is a big…

CINEMA WITHOUT BORDERS. HOW ARABIC CULTURE INSPIRES GLOBAL FILMMAKING
Film has always spoken a common tongue. From the earliest silents to this age of streaming, tales caught on screen have easily crossed national lines. True, while Tinseltown and Europe may mostly hold the world’s eye, Arabic ways have long been rising as strong wells of muse, shaping stories’ looks and even how crowds bond…
-
Theater Review: WEST SIDE STORY (Los Angeles Opera)
WEST SIDE SNORING Astoundingly unsatisfying, LA Opera’s many-headed Hydra production of West Side Story, directed with no sense of urgency by Francesca Zambello, opened tonight to a crowd largely made up of donors and subscribers dressed to the nines. Oddly cast, oddly acted, and oddly staged, my head was reeling at the amount of money…
-
Theater Review: SILENT SKY (Central Square Theatre)
STAR STRUCK Awe-inspiring lighting design (Eduardo M. Ramirez) and beautiful sound effects and music (Kai Bohlman with Violet Wang) elevate Lauren Gunderson’s fictionalized biography of astronomer Henrietta Leavitt (1868–1921) to a meditation on the meaning of human life in relation to the cosmos. This Brit d’Arbeloff Women in Science Production, directed by Sarah Shin, also…

Art | Theater Review: SUBMERGE: BEYOND THE RENDER (ARTECHOUSE NYC at Chelsea Market)

Off-Broadway Review: AMAZE (Jamie Allan at New World Stages)
Years ago, all a magician needed was a top hat and a live rabbit. Magic has come a long way. Jamie Allan’s Amaze uses props, videos, projections and cell phones to do exactly what the title of his show predicts. But Allan does much more than simply overwhelm the audience with slights of hand and…

WHEN CREATIVITY MEETS FINANCIAL REALITY: NAVIGATING PROBATE DELAYS
Art, music, and culture often celebrate life’s milestones, yet they can also reflect the challenges people face when circumstances take an unexpected turn. The passing of a loved one, for instance, brings not only emotional weight but also the practical responsibilities tied to settling their estate. Among court filings, property appraisals, and legal procedures, families…
