“A Journal of the Plague Year” REVIEW | Through December 19
This stirring and obviously very relevant story of pandemic sickness is told through the account of a businessman, H.F., living in London in 1664, when the black death hit the world hard and killed half the population of London. The Write Act Repertory shows are never far away from the current narrative, so I’m not surprised that they take this opportunity to address what is happening still all around us in such a dramatic and profound way. Usually, theatre is our window on worlds we do not ourselves populate. However, in this case, this play is about something all of us can relate to... More>>

What We're Listening to...Shygirl's "Cleo"
Shygirl’s “Cleo” single is a movie soundtrack song. A song cinematographers and club goers both would love. It opens with a symphony. Really. Then, about a minute in, she comes in with some 90s dance music, reminiscent of Robin S’s “Show Me Love” and a bit of “Finally” from Cece Peniston. The video, directed by Trinity Elis, is a fantasy movie romance that fits effortlessly with the bold, cinematic orchestral opening and the house groove mix. More>>
