Review: Diversity II is just as bold, surprising and moving as its predecessor

Dance has the power to interpret and recreate worlds of experience without explaining or intellectualizing.

Review: ‘It’s Only a Play’ is hilarious thanks to killer casting, writing and directing

In Terrence McNally’s delightful comedy “It’s Only a Play,” the play is the thing. And this particular play is very focused on the theater world, Broadway in particular. Amid name dropping and one-liners, a little bit of wisdom emerges about what those of us who love theater want from it.
