    I realize this is a bit belated – but if you’re looking for a good show to see tonight, go catch the final performance of Salt Theater’s production of the 1967 Charles Ludlam spectacle Conquest of the Universe, or When Queens Collide. It is an exuberant and over-the-top production with an incredibly talented cast of…

  • The Mp3 Experiment

    Written by Katherine Steinberg. Katherine is a writer living in New York. I’m normally the kind of person who loathes audience participation. Loathes.

They are simply temporary homes for “hot” directors and “star” actors — and the shows they send to Broadway.” From an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, (via ArtsJournal.com). While the specific issue they address is about regional theater, I think the larger issue…

MacIvor also portrays Leonard, in life and speaking from…
