In mid-March, we lost the very thing that makes us who we are- the privilege of being part of an audience. When we couldn’t go to the theatre, we shut down. We dove into TV and informal online readings, and we just let there be a hole in our lives where live theatre was. We […]

2018 was an odd year in movies.

Okay, time for another round. For some reason I forgot why I chose Best Actor/Best Actress categories—was there a special reason for that? They seem like a 1950’s vestige. Who knows. So here are the winners, acknowledging that two productions win twice, but I can assure those who didn’t see them they really were that […]
