This week’s episode of Welcome to Sweden focused on Bruce trying to get a job. He also struggled with the fact that he has a plain face during this episode, which was a funny bit. His job options were pretty limited though. He decided he absolutely did not want to be an accountant anymore. That’s […]
Like 42nd Street before it, Crazy for You is made of nothing but charm and tap dancing. But one can get pretty far on charm alone and, if you’re as good of a dancer as any member of this ensemble, tap dancing can get you even further. Written in 1992 and forged Mamma Mia/We […]
After every great non-fiction book I find myself saying, “that was the best non-fiction book I’ve read in a long time”. However, after finishing The Promise of a Pencil by Adam Braun, I can confirm that this book is in fact the best non-fiction book I’ve read in a long time, and possibly the best […]
Actor, director, and now writer, Kevin Cirone has been toiling away for over two years now, working on his new musical Creative License, which premiered last weekend at The Davis Square Theater in Somerville after a lengthy development.

Tomodachi Life is a 3DS life/social simulator game, released in North America this past June. It is a sequel to the DS title Tomodachi Collection, which was never retailed outside of Japan. In retrospect, that is unsurprising, as even the localized game comes off as a bit oddball, and very, very Japanese. I would hazard […]
StageWorks Toronto is an incredibly ambitious company, especially when you consider that they’re really a community theatre organization (mixing new theatre grads with part-time performers, I’m pretty sure all un-paid). Year after year they choose an interesting, contemporary and thematically challenging musical and mount a full-scale production, never shying away from a hard vocal score. […]
“Gladys” was a very disturbing episode of The Leftovers. It started out with Gladys, a member of the Guilty Remnant, being stoned to death. It was absolutely horrific and ended with Gladys actually speaking and begging for her life. Gladys wasn’t the only member of the Guilty Remnant to speak though. After Patti started to […]
