Last weekend quite literally on West 52nd Street in Hell’s Kitchen, I attended an outdoor performance of the new rock musical Oso Fabuloso & The Bear Backs!, INTAR Theatre’s entrée back into the realm of presenting in-person performances. A show with a title like that has a lot to live up to.

Sonny’s 10th Ave Meat Market will play host to #Emperorof10thAve, a short play by Carmen Rivera, performed to audiences of… Continue reading Hell’s Kitchen Businesses Take Center Stage in INTAR’S MicroTEATRO Festival
I haven’t been to a live play since last November, and even that was a bit of an outlier: an outdoor, socially distanced two-person show, Fannie Lou Hamer: Speak On It, at New Jersey’s Premiere Stages. That single show constituted the entirety of my post-March 2020 theatregoing. Until now. New York is suddenly on the verge of… Continue reading Reopen Theatre? Why Not a Whole Neighborhood?
