I had to laugh the other day. Well, I laugh at some point pretty much every day, but this was for a particular reason. My friend Beth Hylton, a fellow UNC-Chapel Hill PATP graduate, and co-star in the recent Maltz Jupiter Theatre production of The 39 Steps, sent me an e-mail to let me know …

The more we explore Richard Greenberg’s dazzling and intricate play, the more funny, heartbreaking, and profound it seems to become.

Looking Back at 2011
I can certainly say that 2011 wasn’t dull. For one thing, The Smurfs movie came out.

Watching the film in 3D with …

It’s an ambitious site, so it’s going to take me a while to look …
