  • It didn’t help that someone’s phone started ringing right near the end…

    I agree with other commenters who found the guys’ rough-housing and traditions/memories fairly believable and entertaining. However the theme of privilege was implausibly rendered and confusing. The play ended with a complete thud.

  • People Are Talking: UMS presents Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company: Straight White Men:

  • I was emotionally moved by this performance in an unexpected way. I quickly related to Matt, the son living with his father, who just wanted to be helpful. His brothers could no longer relate to him, and their unwanted attention brought him and me to tears. The boyish, silly antics were welcome comic relief. I loved the freedom of just being that their late night dancing and drinking brought. I left the theater needing to release the emotional tension, as I thought about families that are close to me.

  • I was amazed, challenged, transformed. It felt like my brain was turned inside out and back again, but not quite the way it started.

  • People Are Talking: UMS presents Kiss and Cry at Power Center:

  • This was one of the best theatrical performances I have seen. The synthesis of choreography and videography was genius! The script was beautiful in its simplicity as the diverse selection of music conveyed the complex emotional textures. Did anyone else interpret the end as dementia unlocking the memories of this lonely woman allowing her to once again find her true love?
