As a hot dog reviewer I’ve discussed NY dogs, and we’ve discussed Chicago dogs…but what about a Chicago dog IN New York? Is that even legal? Dog Day Afternoon in Brooklyn seeks to bridge the hot dog divide between these two great cities. dogcatcherreviews.substack.com/p/dog-day-af...

For Dogcatcher Reviews this week I tried the Pigs in A Blanket at Emmett’s on Grove, and tried to figure out what gives a restaurant its identity in a food scene as crowded as NYC’s. PLUS: a salad without any greenery in it??? open.substack.com/pub/dogcatch...

We’re making a short film! And we need your help! After getting laid off, Jennifer doesn’t want a new job. She doesn’t want anything really…except this kick-ass sword. But once she has it, what the hell is she supposed to do with it? www.indiegogo.com/projects/sho...

Coming next month,STATIC-HEAD presented by Emory University, directed by Ibi Owolabi! A techno-thriller about a haunted app that simulates the senses, virtual parasites, AI “content,” and people living online. It’s big, it’s spooky, it’s weird, and I’m very proud! AI garbage sucks! Theatre rules!

NEW DATES have been added! BUSTED OPEN, the thrilling new play about pro wrestling women and the pain of having of a job, makes its illustrious debut THIS THURSDAY! We've also added a Saturday Matinee so you can see a BEATDOWN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!

Ryan Stevens @ryanstevens.bsky.social · 27/08/2024

This poster is an intentional nod to the not-perfect 1997 Al Pacino/Keanu Reeves film Devil's Advocate. I like to think this play is much better than Devil's Advocate, and it's also got women wrestlers in it, so that seems like a slam dunk. Buy your tickets here: limelight.tix.page/e/busted-ope...
