I haven't seen WSS b/c not being a critic anymore means again not being able to afford to see much theater (another rant for another day) but ever since doing an interview with IVH before my departure from the critical realm, I've been deeply, sadly soured on him...

Very excited to get to spend some time with Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's work for my last review of 2023.

An Estate That Divides: Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’s Appropriate

Sarah Paulson is furious and fearsome in this Tony Award-winning play.

Yesterday was a remarkable day. I was and am deeply honored and grateful to receive the 2016-17 George Jean Nathan Award (not pictured), and more grateful still to the wonderful folks (inc. my dear parents -- pictured!) who came to see it go down... (1/2)

It's a good day when I reference both High Fidelity and A Room With a View in a review.

Some thoughts on the rectangle/square relationship of theater & plays — and how readily we stick to the square.

When the Play’s Not the Thing

Too often, great performances and stagecraft are let down by the script behind them.

I have a piece of writing coming out tomorrow for the first time in... a long time. There are buds on the trees in Richmond, Virginia. Wherever you are, I hope you're hanging in there. Time to March.

@wyszniewski I've also been thinking about all the empty spaces. These glorious cavernous rooms that will just be... dark. Surely one could figure out an imaginative way to keep them alive? Give me (or any artists!) the BAM Harvey with no tech and all the lights on for a week and watch me GO.
