New Here’s (Me) Looking at You

Here’s me looking at you again. This time you’re going on and on about that relationship. You know, the one where she’s calling all the shots? Yeah, that one.

There are more over here. I’m told it’s worth it to get them all to play at the same time. I don’t think I’ll [...]

These are the Beasties in My Neighborhood.

SHREW – LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER.

Or me, for that matter.  I mean, I’ll be in a skirt or dress the entire time.

Seriously, this production is a new take on one of Shakespeare’s more…traditional plays.  Tickets are going fast and limited because we’re placing the audience in chairs on the stage of the Pines Theater with the play taking place on [...]

Willa Wrastling

This is how we spend our rainy afternoons up on the second floor of Edwards Square.

The favorite part of the wrastle is Willa’s tail. It wags on a scale between absolute joy and deep contemplation.
