“I’m all for the bold and the groundbreaking. But I’m also hoping for more honey. More marmalade. More shows that take us by the hand and say, “Come sit for a while. You’re safe here.” Maybe now more than ever.”

“I hope Masquerade doesn’t just replicate the Broadway version of Phantom in a new setting. I hope it reimagines it. Deepens it. I want this version to haunt me, not just entertain me.”

“It’s okay to share excitement. Theatre is meant to be felt in the moment, and I’ll always cheer for joyful, immediate reactions. But maybe we can hold off on the official reviews until opening night.”

“It was announced today that Aubrey Plaza will make her off-Broadway debut opposite Christopher Abbott in a revival of John Patrick Shanley’s “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea’” Performances begin October 30 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, ahead of an opening on November 13.”

“The musical appears to be in good hands with a true Star Trek fan.”

“In a first for major New York theatre awards, the Outer Critics Circle has removed gender from its acting categories. The move comes as the discussion surrounding the inclusion of non-binary and trans performers in these awards has gained steam as representation has improved.”

“With the current state of the world, I often find myself feeling lost and disheartened. I left the theater feeling like I had the power to change my story, thoughts about the world around me, and my place in it.”

It is a reality of our world that bringing creative work to life costs money. The training, whether private lessons or group classes or university studies, can become prohibitively expensive. What do we do when we, as individuals, simply don’t have the money?

“Current and former BIPOC staff members at The Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York(A.R.T./NY) are demanding the immediate ousting of its executive director, Virginia “Ginny” Louloudes, over multiple incidents of “subversive and toxic behavior” directed towards them over the years. In response, the board of directors has placed Ms. Louloudes on administrative leave while they investigate the accusations.”

“Producing Neil LaBute’s work is oppressive to womxn, people of size, people of color, people with disabilities, and many other groups, while simultaneously putting money into the hands of someone known to be problematic and hurtful. Keep your theatre life safe and healthy, and truly consider your choice before producing, or working on, a Neil LaBute piece.”

With performers on a press tour, it often feels like answers are rehearsed or over-thought, yet Kevin McDonald's were both exuberant and winding, his words spilling out in an over-caffeinated cascade of ideas and jokes. It turns out, McDonald has a lot to say, which is why it's perfect time for his new one-man show "Kevin McDonald ALIVE on 42nd Street" to premiere Off-Broadway.

BroadwayRadio critic, Peter Filichia recently body shamed performers on their weekly podcast. Many have called out the longtime critic while others have defended him by stating this isn’t indicative of him as a writer. However, when looking at some of his previous reviews, Filichia appears to have a history with making these types of comments. They range from racist to describing people with fat phobic terminology.
