Trodding the Boards May 9, 2025

May 10, 2025 By Brian Sands

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 … [Read more...] 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 … [Read more...] about Ambush on the Road – A Gay in the Garden State

Bartender Spotlight – April 2025

April 28, 2025 By Tony Leggio

Bartenders are among the most pleasant individuals I have encountered. They interact with a diverse range of personalities, making a friendly demeanor and a positive outlook essential. This month, I would like to highlight one of the most amiable bartenders I know. In addition to his engaging personality, he is professional, humorous, and attractive.

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 … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards April 24, 2025

Trodding the Boards April 5, 2025

April 5, 2025 By Brian Sands

Every Brilliant Thing at Big Couch through April 6 Entering the theater at Big Couch recently, I encountered a Who’s Who of some of New Orleans’ finest theater artists, perhaps, in part, because it was a Monday night and most other venues were dark. I was pleased to see (in alphabetical order) Leslie Castay, Becca Chapman, Keith & Leslie Claverie, Benjamin Dougherty, … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards April 5, 2025

Trodding the Boards March 28, 2025

March 31, 2025 By Brian Sands

Joe & Marilyn at Westwego Performing Arts Theatre Most people have some familiarity with Marilyn Monroe, the mid-twentieth century movie star and sex symbol whose fame continues to burn brightly as movies, books, songs, etc. about her still tumble forth regularly. Even non-hard core fans may be aware of her early hardscrabble life, celebrity marriages, brief fame in … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards March 28, 2025
