Review: The Nance – Infectious Vaudeville

April 21, 2013 by Leave a Comment
the nance

After submerging myself into new mommydom, I feel as though my brain stirred for the first time in 6.75 months.  This is by no means the fault of the city in which I live or the people in my life, by the way.  A night out at Lincoln Center Lyceum Theater's latest production, THE NANCE , opened my eyes to the hypocrisy of the time, the joy of the burlesque, and the search for love in the automat.  And of course, who doesn’t love a cheesy vaudeville skit and pasties? This is the first time my brain has been tickled in months and I loved the … [Read more...]

Review: ANN, a Play with a Conscience

ANN

This week I noticed a lot of other parents juggling work/home balance.  It was every which way I turned.  At an 8am end of year party for my son's French class, the teacher ran in 10 minutes late in a complete frenzy because her son had gotten sick right before she had to leave to entertain a classroom full of parents and children.   On a conference call, I heard crying while a working mom tried desperately to resume our call.  At art appreciation session training this morning, one of the creators  chased her daughter around the room while chiming … [Read more...]

“My favourite she-dies-he-lives [production of Swan Lake] is that of The Australian Ballet … This version, choreographed by Graeme Murphy, will be performed by the Australian company in New York, at the David H.

40,000 Miles at Lincoln Center

40000 Miles

My membership to the Lincoln Center has been one of my favorite and most useful vehicles to see top-quality plays in NYC.  Over the years I have seen the most marvelous acting and writing on stage.  And this week, seeing Amy Herzog's "40000 Miles" was no exception.  It's about a grandmother and grandson who live together for a few weeks, when they need each other more than ever, and it proves the meaning of companionship and making the most of life while we are here on earth. It was also a thrill to see the fabulous Mary Louise Wilson on stage.  She … [Read more...]
