Interview: Greg Kalafatas of HAIRSPRAY at BROADWAY AT THE HOBBY CENTER
There's this obvious fantasy of the character in that we're in mid-century pinks and blues and teals and aquamarines and this whole color palette and it's a musical, and it's songs, and it's a man dressed up as a woman. But the thing the reality is that Edna turns out as a woman, and you're playing a mom, and she's and that's what she is.

Review: THE WOMAN IN BLACK at His Majesty's Theatre
THE WOMAN IN BLACK is a minimalist play, with one foreground for the entirety and just two actors. However, the way it is able to build and maintain tension and fear in a way that few movies manage these days, let alone stage shows. The plot is good and the acting is superb, and combined with this thriller is put together make this a must see.

Review: Tracy Letts' AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY at the Carrollwood Players
This Pulitzer Prize winner is both fun and brutal, lengthy but never boring, heart-stopping and soul-stirring, and yet unblinking and sympathetic in its portrait of an American family in unruly disintegration.

Interview: VARLA JEAN MERMAN of STAND BY YOUR DRAG at MATCH
I live in Florida, and I love Florida; Florida has amazing people and an amazing LGBTQ community, but, as you know, the government really isn't on our side there. When the drag bans started to happen, it really freaked you out because it happened like suddenly you weren't allowed to perform outside in Florida. People didn't know this happened, but many of the Pride Celebrations in Florida were canceled.
