MAKE BELIEVE 👻 Bess Wohl has a unique way of telling stories. Can’t wait for her much deserved Broadway debut in December (‘Grand Horizons’). In Make Believe we learn through the four Conlee kids about their neglectful parents and pretty quickly we understand that they’re never coming back. In their young eyes, the drinking, fighting and abuse are just part of being a grown up. One of the sweetest, heart breaking moments is of young Kate writing a letter to princes Grace of Monaco, explaining why, indeed, she is her reel mom and that she should raise her. It is signed with: “love in advance, optimistically yours, love, Cathrine”. •• 💬Favorite quote: “My doctor gave me Ativan for this exact situation “. 📝Play by Bess Wohl 🎯Directed by Michael Greif @2stnyc @playbill #makebelieve #besswohl #childhood #nyctheatre #offbroadway #theatre #theatrelife #theatrenerd #theatrekids #childactor #atticroom
IN THE GREEN 🚪 “I’ve never seen anything like this” says the person next to me once the show is over. Indeed this is a refreshing one to see in a mainstream theatre rather than in the fringe. • McLean takes the 12th century Hildegard of Bingen and breaks her into three: eye, mouth, hand. She needs to ‘become whole’ and for that purpose the poor little girl is put in a cell for 30 years with Jutta, who’s presumably more enlightened and is equipped to help her. Spoiler: she’s not. • The show is almost entirely sung-through, the music is **heavenly** and the use of looper is spot on. • 💬Favorite quote: “You are light under cover”. • 📝Play by Grace McLean 🎯Directed by Lee Sunday Evans @lctheater #lct3 #inthegreenlct3 #clairetowtheater #leesundayevans #hildegard #jutta #corruption #resist #trauma #posttraumatic #musical #musicaltheatre #offbroadway #nyctheatre #theatrelife #theatrenerd #womenintheater
BURN THIS 🔥 Everyone loves Anna’s hair; her boyfriend, her roommate and her lover. Throughout this Broadway revival the three constantly play with it and sniff it. At some point the lover, Pale, asks, “is your hair always like this?” To which she responds: “It costs thousands of dollars”. So yeah, I guess Burn This means pay someone to burn your hair and make it straight so we can all admire it 🤯 @burnthisbway #burnthis #kerirussell #curlyhair #naturalhairstyles #curlyhairstyles #curls #naturalhairjourney #curlyhairdontcare #teamnatural #felicitytvshow #broadway #nyctheatre #theatrenerd #happy4thofjuly
MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW • If there is one thing that Halley Feiffer excels at is getting her point across. She did it at Playwrights’ The Pain of my Belligerence where she made us judge the wrong person in the abusive relationship, and she’s doing it again in this Three Sisters adaptation where she tells us to quit the idea of happiness because that’s just not humanly possible. With this she captures the essence of Chekhov with just an extra pinch of salt on our wounds. Because why not? Life isn’t hard enough as it is.• 💬FAVORITE QUOTES: • 🔸-“Poor Masha, she really looks like she wants to kill herself today”. -“Yeah but isn’t it like everyday”? • 🔸-“Why am I so happy?” -“Umm… cause you’re delusional”? • 🔸-“I’d love my husband even if he looks sh*t like me”. -“You have nice eyes”! • 🔸-“What is it”? -“Cologne.

LITTLE WOMEN 👧🏽👧🏻👧🏿👧🏼 In this stage adaptation of the novel by Louisa May Alcott the character of Jo has a deep understanding of what she doesn’t want to be: a woman. married. mom. And towards the end of the play she gets reassured that that’s actually totally fine. • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES • 🔸”If I were a boy people would have cared more about what I CAN do rather than what I shouldn’t”. 🔸”Some don’t pay a lady at all but I’m forward thinking”. 🔸”She learned her lessons, though they were small”. 🔸-“do you see that?” -“no, I’m blind for the holidays” • ✅Bechdel test: hell yeah • 📝Play by Kate Hamill 🎯Directed by Sarna Lapine @cherrylntheatre @primarystages #littlewomen #louisamayalcott #classic #nyctheatre #theatrelife #theatrenerd #theaternerd #nyc #offbroadway #stageadaptation #girlswholikegirls #lgbt #lgbtq🌈 #pride #pridemonth #civilwar #bechdeltest #childfree

MRS. MURRAY’S MENAGERIE 🐻🐱 • This is Gloria. She is my favorite character in this piece, played by the brilliant Stephanie Wright Thompson. Gloria is extremely insecure yet she can’t not say what she thinks. She is intimidated by the other parents on this focus group for kids’ TV show, yet she shows up for this socially awkward and exhausting experience. • The Office style comedy where the joke is on us as a racist, materialistic and patriarchal society. • 💬Favorite quote: “This is important but irritating” • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Created by The Mad Ones • 🎯Directed by Lila Neugebauer • @arsnovanyc @themadonesarchive #theatrenerd #theatrelife #comedy #offbroadway #nyctheatre #nyc #nightout #theatre #liveshow #arsnova #mrsmurraysmenagerie
CURSE OF THE STARVING CLASS🐑 • The kitchen falling apart is how we know it’s show time. The whole thing literally gets destroyed in front of the audience, giving some clues about what’s it like to live in this house. Social mobility isn’t really a thing for the starving class, “starting over” is not a concept for kids who’s only goal in life is to miraculously find food in the fridge or skillfully stay away from dad’s whipping. • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES • 🔸”I like it down there, they don’t speak English “. 🔸”Everything was alright until you came here. I was talking to myself and everything was alright “. • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Sam Shepard 🎯Directed by Terry Kinney #theatrelife #stagelife #nyctheatre #curseofthestarvingclass #samshepard #nyctheatre @playbill @signaturetheatre #socialmobility #poverty #socialjustice
THE PAIN OF MY BELLIGERENCE 🦌 • This one isn’t easy to watch. A detailed description of an abusive relationship between a young journalist and an older married man. As the play progresses she becomes more and more dependent on him and slowly cuts everyone else from her life. • I appreciate the way the writer (and star) tells us that it can happen to anyone. Even if you have a stable job and a bright future ahead of you. And that there is always light at the end of the tunnel even if it’s a really long one. • 💬FAVORITE QUOTES: 🔸-I like you. -You don’t know me. -That’s what I like about you. I can project anything I want on you. 🔸I’m not upset this is just my life. • ✅Bechdel test: passed • 📝Play by Halley Feiffer 🎯Directed by Trip Cullman • #painofmybelligerence #halleyfeiffer #tripcullman @phnyc #phnyc #nyctheatre #nyctheater #nyc #offbroadway #nightout #stagelife #theatrelife #endviolenceagainstwomen #metoo
