Season Wrap Up: Accidentally On Purpose

The story of Accidentally on Purpose‘s first season seems to me to be that of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The critics didn’t like it right out of the gate. It was too conventional, too simple and not Modern Family in a season when comedies were neglected for the crime of being anything other than Modern Family. […]

Shakespeare is more amazing than you give him credit for

Much Ado About a Midsummer Night’s King Macbeth IV Part 2 or Remembering William Shakespeare On this most auspicious of days, April 23- Shakespeare’s birthday, I thought that I might take a moment or two to remember one of the greatest men who ever lived.

All Hail Spartacus! Bringer of Rain!
