Magic happens (like empathy, compassion, respect, passion, trust…) when we take a moment to listen to one another, acknowledge our specific existence in the world without judgment, and respect each other Sometimes it is the show, sometimes it is the actor who connects with you, or me in this case. I find that when it is […]
THE REAL JAMES BOND…WAS DOMINICAN closes this weekend at City Theatre. I think you should check it out. While I am no James Bond fan, I do appreciate his legacy in contemporary culture so the title caught my attention. Turns out Porfirio Rubirosa, a Dominican diplomat, race car driver, soldier and polo player who’s believed to […]
Among the many losses I’ve experienced these past two years, my connection to local live theater has been a significant source of grief. Without a car, I must rely on others to transport me and hope it is a show they’d like to see as well. And I’ve lost my best theater companion. It is […]
Tonight was my first viewing of Die Hard to help ring in my merry holiday. Die Hard is a 1988 action film where the lone cop foils an international terrorist takeover of a Los Angeles office building. There’s a higher body count that in most Christmas movies and a lot more blood. Bruce Willis rose […]
Contains spoilers. I was giddy when I learned that City Theatre was staging the second in the Christmas at Pemberley plays. This series explores the lives and growth of the three younger Bennett sisters: Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. In 2023, they staged Miss Bennett, focusing on Mary Bennett finding love and pulling a stone cold […]
This Fascinating Aïda Christmas song is making the rounds on social media. I share it every time it comes across my feed. Then I thought to myself, self – why not preserve this humor in your pantheon of Winter Holiday blog posts. It’s essentially Spice Girls meets Henry VIII’s six wives. [All]Christmas comes but once […]

I have this weird thing where I stop watching a streaming series before the end. Maybe a few episodes, maybe an entire season. I did it with ‘Murder, She Wrote’ and ‘MASH’ and ‘Family Affair’ and ‘That Girl’ and now ‘Xena’ is on my backburner a few episodes before it ends. ‘The Mary Tyler Moore […]
—— arts keep hearts open to feelings. No matter the money count or leadership or any issue facing humans, art is the only way for us to stay human through it all. I caught the final performance of POTUS at City Theatre. It was hilarious. Writing a review after the show closes might seem odd. […]
I was quite young when I first met Bilbo Baggins, peaceful resident of Middle Earth and protagonist of ‘The Hobbit’ by J.R.R Tolkien.. My Dad was a aficionado of science fiction and fantasy so it was inevitable he would steer me that way, too. The novel dates to 1937 while the animated television musical (??) […]
