β€˜The Picture of Dorian Gray’ Review: Sarah Snook’s Solo Broadway Outing Can’t Find Meaning in the Artifice The "Succession" Emmy winner's solo Broadway outing, staged by Kip Williams, can't find meaning in its artifice.

β€˜English’ Review: Pulitzer Winner Debuts on Broadway at the Top of the Class Playwright Sanaz Toossi’s Pulitzer Prize winning play makes its Broadway debut in a moving, thought-provoking production.

everyone needs to get their butts to the Todd Haimes to go see ENGLISH, which is hands down one of the best plays of the decade. my review for @variety.bsky.social variety.com/2025/legit/r...

was in a grocery store in Connecticut today and as I was checking out the cashier lady gave me a look up and down and said β€œyou don’t have a Stop & Shop card, do you.” never have I ever been called a 🚬 so casually, she gagged me.

for any fans of downtown, avant-garde, experimental theater, GIVE ME CARMELITA TROPICANA! is a fitting tribute to the art form and to Soho Rep. my review for 3views: www.3viewstheater.com/views/queer-...

ugh same. feels impossible to start over effectively

absolutely!! so much of both our journalism careers was built on the twitter presence and networks/communities we forged. it’s hard and sad and frustrating to start again.

I only joined because I heard someone say they couldn’t get their handle so I jumped on and to my surprise managed to get my actual name, which is even better. i’ll still probs be on twitter until that ship sinks
