Of course, it's always sad when talented actors like John Gallagher Jr and scores of actors, technicians, and artists lose their jobs in one fell swoop. And it is sad when original pieces of theatre are shuttered while purely commercial ventures see much more immediate, sustained success.

That being said, while I definitely don't regret seeing this production, it didn't resonate with me. The book couldn't have been thinner and the songs, while decently integrated,

Ever heard of the "paradox of tolerance"? If not, read up.

Trump supporters have spent the past eight years saying, "F*** Your Feelings!" and "I love eating liberal tears" and similar things. Yet these are the people you think the left needs to be open-minded and tolerant toward? A dialogue requires two sides wil

Who's Afraid of Virgini

37 year-old gay male from southern Connecticut. I trained in acting and have been performing on stage for nearly three decades. I work a full-time job outside of the industry, but I've been fortunate to play many, many dreams roles on stages throughout CT and NY.

When I see theatre or film, it is through the lens of performance and emotional truth that I can analyze and deconstruct the piece.
