DEGENERATES goes down the solipsistic rabbit hole of the online incel community, but I found it more compelling on the pervasiveness of online culture. exeuntnyc.com/reviews/revi...

I may be more of a puppet fan than your average bear, but ARIAS WITH A TWIST is an awful lot of fun for all audiences (except perhaps the very easily shocked or the highly puppet-averse.) exeuntnyc.com/reviews/revi...

THIS IS NOT NOT A DRILL is perhaps more educational than theatrical, but enlightening and trying something really unusual in mixing site-specific performance, activism, and inspiration. Go in daylight if you can; most of it is an outdoor walking tour and you get more ambience if you can see it!

I belatedly realize that BENEVOLENT is another ensemble play about young women: INDIAN PRINCESSES, CAMPING, GIRL INTERRUPTED, DAD DON'T READ THIS, GIRLS: CHANCE: MUSIC. All focused on the inner lives of and the social constraints surrounding girls and women--shouldn't be refreshing in 2026, but is.

There are a lot of charming, funny, and even heartfelt moments in I'M ALMOST THERE but for me it's all about the Joyce Carol Oates song. Occupational hazard of the day job. exeuntnyc.com/reviews/revi...

I never thought I would criticize a Moby Dick adaptation for not having enough whaling in it, but I guess that's what you get when you once spent two years failing to do it without so. much. whaling. Robert Wilson's piece is predictably gorgeous and strange, of course. exeuntnyc.com/reviews/revi...

BIG: this morning, Mayor Mamdani and Under the Radar announced a new initiative to give out 1,500 free festival tickets! To have someone at City Hall who supports not just theater but non-commercial, often experimental performance blows my mind.

Travesties is my personal favorite Stoppard, not least because I like to imagine his sheer joy at discovering the historical convergence of Joyce, Tzara, Lenin, Oscar Wilde, and a minor lawsuit over trousers. A true giant.

Eight plays in nine days while also heading into the mad season at work was perhaps unwise. I am officially not seeing any more theater this month! exeuntnyc.com/reviews/revi...
