I remember first reading The Importance of Being Earnest for an English class in high school and fell in […]

In the spirit of January I made resolutions for the New Year and revisited last year’s failures. The word failure is so dramatic, isn’t it? Well, I’m not here to get all Dear Abby on you, just to say that I reexamined the Bucket List from last summer and am proud to report that I […]

Just as summer ends, I discover another great Manhattan rooftop: Terminal 5. This is a popular venue for rising musical acts, and one I have been to many times, yet somehow my friends and I always missed the rooftop. Last night my friend and I promptly showed up as doors opened (a rarity for sure), […]

Today marks Day 12 of the U.S. Open and the finest tennis athletes in the world will continue onto the semi-finials in this Grand Slam competition. Growing up I strayed from the country club sports so I am surprised at how much I have grown to adore this sporting event. I would consider myself more […]

The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre is one of a few raw and unpretentious places where you can see stellar improv comedy on the cheap. By raw I mean you might be sitting on an old theater seat propped up by a milk crate and fastened together by Duck Tape, but for $5 or $10 you […]

So Memphis won the prestigious Tony Award for Best Musical yet many people have still never heard of it.
