As I mentioned in my last review, November was full of Shakespeare. My second show was at Brandeis University, featuring an original adaption of Comedy of Errors by Bill Barclay, a Resident Acting Company member of the Actor’s Shakespeare Project.

All signs pointed immediately to the pits of despair, but since the pilot involved so much setup and the much-maligned burly-dude-dresses-as-a-woman-to-get-a-job premise has actually had some unlikely but substantial success in films like Tootsie and […]

 

The Holidays are upon us and that means family and family means finding some way to keep ourselves busy so we don’t a) die of boredom during the awkward silences or b) say something incriminating and inflammatory during the gaps between the awkward silences.
