I’m so original! They do, however, manage to pack a punch in a few words, as in: How sad…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm, Raushanah Simmons) Argh, I am so far behind in my responses to reviews! There is now Flavorpill, Theatre is Easy, Time Out New York, the New York Times and BroadwayWorld.com to respond to (am I missing any of them?) Excuse: I have been in L.A. for the TCG National…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Stephen Conrad Moore) I’m falling a wee bit behind on these! For those who don’t want to wait, go on and read That Sounds Cool, Flavorpill, and Theatre is Easy. I hope to respond to all three before the end of the week. Michael Bettencourt from OffOffOnline is our fifth review,…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm) Back in the day, Backstage was our first major reviewer, positively reviewing both Life is a Dream and A Midsummer Night’s Dream when not many other critics were coming our way.

Pictured: Sol Crespo, Lori E Parquet, Chinaza Uche, Tiffany Clementi, Mike Mihm, Chudney Sykes) Review #2 is out, and we’re thrilled that Will Kenton from Cultural Capitol returned. You may want to reread his reviews of Jacob’s House and Dog Act to gain a deeper appreciation for the wide frame he brings…
This is an open thread for our community of artists and audience to respond to Ajax in Iraq. We have tried this for Dog Act, The Lesser Seductions of History and Jacob’s House, and the comments were very insightful. When you see the show, please take a moment to share your thoughts with us in…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Raushanah Simmons) Review #1 is out, and it certainly is a great way to start. Danny Bowes at nytheatre.com has some truly lovely things to say about Ajax in Iraq, speaking positively of many of the most challenging aspects of the play’s reach and complexity. After the long grind of tech…
What is New World Iliads?How can I learn more about Ajax in Iraq? (Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum.
