This was a fabulous season for the Shaw Festival. Out of ten productions, there was only one I thought just wasn’t very good (sorry, Juno).

Not unlike the blockbuster Avatar (which came out the year prior and was outshone by this pic in my opinion), HTTYD featured a character who started off fighting an enemy and […]
The social politics of baby rearing in New York City is enough to make any New Yorker parent shudder with weary consternation and any New York outsider to snicker at the absurdity of it all.
