By August Schulenburg An odd thing occurred to me several days ago. I had my Tweetdeck open, and was following a number of hashtags, including #MarriageEquality, #Iraq, #Afghanistan and #Women2Drive. For those not Twitter-inclined, this means two things: streams of 140 character messages relating to those hashtags are updated in real time on my Tweetdeck…
By August Schulenburg “You must enter the theatre through the world.” -Joe Papp This quote, shared by Todd London at the 2011 TCG Conference (and tweeted by me), has continued to stick with me, touching on a feeling I tried to put into words nearly a year ago in The Wider Frame. As I wrote…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Tiffany Clementi, Lori E. Parquet) Yikes! The show’s been closed for half a week and I still haven’t posted responses to most of the reviews. Rather than getting stuck in yesterday, I’m going to round up all those I missed here and now. It doesn’t quite do justice to the thoughtful…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Joshua Koopman) Starting to catch up! Our next review is by Haytham Elhawary from Theatre is Easy, and it’s lovely. He begins with a quote from Plato I was unfamiliar with that fits the play painfully well: “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” I also appreciate that he…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum.

I’m so original! They do, however, manage to pack a punch in a few words, as in: How sad…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm, Raushanah Simmons) Argh, I am so far behind in my responses to reviews! There is now Flavorpill, Theatre is Easy, Time Out New York, the New York Times and BroadwayWorld.com to respond to (am I missing any of them?) Excuse: I have been in L.A. for the TCG National…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Stephen Conrad Moore) I’m falling a wee bit behind on these! For those who don’t want to wait, go on and read That Sounds Cool, Flavorpill, and Theatre is Easy. I hope to respond to all three before the end of the week. Michael Bettencourt from OffOffOnline is our fifth review,…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm) Back in the day, Backstage was our first major reviewer, positively reviewing both Life is a Dream and A Midsummer Night’s Dream when not many other critics were coming our way. Then, there was a long, dry, spell after the Angel Eaters Trilogy, and though they interviewed us for…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured:Stephen Conrad Moore, Christina Shipp) Jon Sobel of Blogcritics has reviewed everything since Pretty Theft (except for Jacob’s House, I believe), and so it was great to have him return for his mixed but fair-minded review of Ajax in Iraq. His review touches on some of the exciting challenges of the play,…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Anna Rahn, Tiffany Clementi, Christina Shipp, Lori E Parquet, Sol Crespo) It was a great to take a moment and look through these photos from the keen-eyed Isaiah Tanenbaum; thanks to the work of our designers, actors and tech help, this really turned out a visually beautiful production (saying so myself,…
