I am still in awe that I sat so close and watched relished the astonishing Megan Hilty in Provincetown. My Entertainment World interviewed her this past Winter, but the joy of seeing this talented and enthralling actress and performer is much more captivating and, indeed, a Smash-hit. Many of you may remember Hilty from the […]
Canadian Stage’s annual Shakespeare in High Park (formerly known as Dream in High Park but apparently that was too confusing) is always fun for its picnic-under-the-stars tone, even if the plays are bad. Which is important, because this year’s productions aren’t exactly good. Neither is a complete loss- both Titus Andronicus and the slightly more […]
*Spoilers Ahead* Over seven seasons True Blood has had some ups, and lots of downs. After the show’s second season, the series seemed to over stuff the cast with people who were killed off in meaningless methods, rather than focusing on the development of the central characters.

Peter Capaldi’s debut as the Twelfth Doctor should have been an absolute triumph, and he deserved a […]
The American Repertory Theatre has introduced their next Boston-to-Broadway commercial hit, Finding Neverland. Following the life and work of J. M. Barrie, playwright and author of Peter Pan, the musical is an emotional voyage of soaring highs and valley lows; bring the whole family, but also bring the tissues. Despite the artistic success of the […]
Welcome to Sweden had two episodes this week, and they were by far the best episodes so far this season. There were parts that were absolutely hysterical. I loved seeing Bruce’s parents clashing with Emma’s family. They were both a riot, the whole ABBA thing with hilarious, and I’m pretty much obsessed with both Amy […]
