I re-wrote this review three times, which is never a good sign. Do not get me wrong. Sharr White’s new play The Snow Geese is not bad per se, it just left me feeling incredibly nonplussed.

For the first time in weeks, this review will not end with the question “Where is Tyler?” because thank the CW lords, Tyler is back! Albeit, only for 6.2 seconds, and he doesn’t say a word, but man have I missed that hybrid mug. His appearance hopefully means he’ll be sticking around for at least […]

He needed to be explained what was going on and my description went something like this: “That’s Silas and he is bad and he’s the original Paul Wesley, and the girl he’s with is Katherine, the second or maybe third, […]
We all have them.
