Dance Review — India Jazz Suites, Where Kathak and Tap Meet

While jazz and classical Hindustani music, tap and kathak, share a number of striking elements, the collaboration presented in India Jazz Suites is not about “fusion.”

Stage Interview: Israeli Stage and “Apples From The Desert”

Theater Review: A Rewarding “Red”

“Red” is a drama about the modern artist and his place in art history: at its center, painter Mark Rothko confronts fame and the commoditization of creativity in the world of contemporary art.

Theater Commentary: An Anything-But-Banal Love Story

The play does not address Hannah Arendt’s rationalizations or the reasons for her dedication to Martin Heidegger, though the dramatist’s title hints that it is the banal truth of the irrationality of love.

Theater Review: The Venetian Twins — Commedia dell’arte Done Hilariously Right

While by no means the headiest permutation of commedia dell’arte, Shakespeare & Company’s production of THE VENETIAN TWINS is skillful as anything a commedia enthusiast might hope to see.
