Thoughts on Theater: Film Adaptation
Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to see a free screening of Matthew McConhaghy’s new (or rather re-released) film Killer Joe. I won’t get too much into the details of the film itself, it’s rated NC-17 and after seeing it I would never look at KFC or Pumpkin Pie the same way again. I [...]

The driving force behind the idea was that because [...]

Her eccentric electro house and female vocal-infused dance music not only energizes [...]
Thoughts on Theater: The Burlesque
In Boston, we’re lucky enough to live in a community where the word “burlesque” means more than a despicable Christina Aguilera movie. A time-honored tradition dating back to the sixteenth century, burlesque is a blend of adult entertainment (ahem) with the classy feel and dress of a theater to make for a night of performance [...]

Amanda Palmer at The Middle East
If there’s two things Boston-bred artist Amanda Palmer has, it’s theatrics and gratitude. Both of these were at their finest last night at the Middle East Downstairs, where she played a show to fans who pledged $300 and above to her now-famous Kickstarter project, Theater Is Evil with the Grand Theft Orchestra. Palmer’s played all [...]
