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.

This may sound like a dumb nit to pick, but there's too much foosball in FOOSBALL, and it feels like a distraction from what's good about the play. exeuntnyc.com/reviews/revi...

More than once while living in Rhode Island in the early 1990s I was given directions that entailed turning left where the Del’s used to be.

This is exactly my experience in a different domain. When I test it on something where I have a reasonable amount of expertise on the topic or desired outcome, I can see where it falls short and then it justifies its failures. If I didn’t know anything, I’d be impressed or believe it.

Oh yes, all that inveighing about the greatness of New York and New Yorkers is really getting tiresome, and it’s definitely Mamdani’s fault that he’s been in office five months and hasn’t brought back a tram system.

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...
