The Rockford Files: Waiting for Life to Begin

May 14, 2025 By Ryan Rockford

A High School is directly across the street from my apartment in Hell's Kitchen. It's allegedly a magnet school for students gifted in the performing arts, although I've yet to see any proof of that. And, judging by their after-school demeanor, I doubt I ever will. What I see, however, is not entirely unlike my High School experience at their age. For most, it's the giddy … Continue Reading Article about The Rockford Files: Waiting for Life to Begin

Doubt at Le Petit Theatre through May 18 After seeing its original off-Broadway production in January 2005, I wrote, “John Patrick Shanley provided gripping theater with his best play to date. In Doubt, a nun tries to determine whether a priest at her school has molested a young boy. If this Manhattan Theater Club production moves to Broadway, as is rumored, don’t miss … Continue Reading Article about Trodding the Boards May 9, 2025

May 6, 2025 By Tony Leggio

I’ve never spent much time in New Jersey beyond a layover at the airport. Recently, however, I decided to visit my friends Adikus Sulpizi & David Chase for a few days and explore the famed Jersey Shore. It turned out to be a wonderful, fun, and unique experience—complete with casinos, drag queens, shopping, and even a parade! I boarded my Spirit Airlines direct flight to … Continue Reading Article about Ambush on the Road – A Gay in the Garden State

Bartender Spotlight – April 2025

April 28, 2025 By Tony Leggio

I am referring to Joshua … Continue Reading Article about Bartender Spotlight – April 2025

Orpheus Descending at Loyola’s Marquette Theatre Watching The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans’ recent production of Orpheus Descending at the Marquette Theatre on Loyola University’s campus, I couldn’t help wondering why it has never been turned into an opera. Its poetic monologues could serve as arias, both lyrical and dramatic. Duets among the leads … Continue Reading Article about Trodding the Boards April 24, 2025
