Me at the show!
It was like a party.
On Wednesday June 9, 2010 I went to Harlem, NY with my mom to see Amateur Night at the legendary Apollo Theater. I had an great time at this show. The performances were exciting. The show was hosted by great comedian, Capone. I also enjoyed was the DJ, named DJ Jess. He was playing really cool songs and everyone was dancing in their seats.
And that was just the pre-show. [click to continue…]

As if you didn’t know — the summer Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRaC) program is NOW recruiting for our July/August!
Think about it. FREE access to NYC art, music, theater and dance, eleven new friends from all backgrounds and boroughs, lively debate, writing, flip-flops, subway adventures, August sunshine, pizza, mini frisbees….
Need we say more??
Sign up now for one or more of 5 special two-day workshops on a first-come, first-served basis. Anyone in high school is eligible. Participants will attend a Thursday night performance, write a review, and meet up the following Tuesday for a writing workshop from 4:30pm – 7:30pm in the ArtsConnection/High 5 building in Manhattan (8th Ave and 36th Street).
Just as in our Fall and Spring TRaC programs, Summer TRaC workshops will include debate and discussion about the show, writing activities, an opportunity to publish your work and whatever else participants bring to it! (If you’ve ever wondered what the 8-week TRaC programs in the fall and spring were like, this is a great way to get a snapshot of the experience.) Each session will be taught by one of the veteran TRaC Instructors, all of whom are working artists and critics.
For more information, dates and instructions on how to sign up follow the link…..

Just a few steps away from the buzz and excitement of Times Square is Theatre Row’s Kirk Theatre, a newly renovated Off-Broadway stage, situated on 42nd street between 9th and 10th avenue. Presently it has given home to John Gregor‘s musical comedy With Glee. I attended the first preview of this delightful Prospect Theater Company success on July 10th and I was truly amazed to see such energy and excitement exhuming from the stage. Nowadays it is not rare to find talent amongst Off-Broadway shows. However, it is substantially rare when you see that talent put to its full potential. I found that extremely the case in With Glee’s fun cast of seven.
Surely freshman year in high school is no picnic, especially when you’re a teenage boy being sent to a boarding school in a another state. [click to continue…]

Among the likes of Danielle Steel novels and big boxes of Godiva truffles, Love, Loss, and What I Wore is an all-out guilty yet memorable pleasure. The nearly one-and-a-half-hour show consists entirely of engaging anecdotes showcasing the intricate connections women and their clothing. The monologue-style anecdotes cover the whimsical (a woman’s struggle to move on after her lucky shirt disappears), serious (a homosexual bride-to-be’s struggle to find the perfect wedding outfit), and hilariously realistic (a woman’s misadventures in a lingerie shop) ends of the spectrum, leaving viewers chuckling in amusement, leaning forward in intrigue, and nodding their heads in acknowledgement.
Love, Loss, and What I Wore is delicately balanced in such a way that no single component outshines the other. This understated, elegant performance does not make its mark right away; instead, it leaves a wonderfully light, lingering impact for days after.
