Robert Moses "Kin" at the Dance Center

The boundary-breaking Robert Moses’ Kin presents its remarkable new work exploring the complexities of identity, love and parentage in non-traditional families. The Cinderella Principle: try these on, see if they fit evolved from in-depth interviews with families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in a first-time collaboration with award-winning playwright Anne Galjour, violinist/composer Todd Reynolds and DJ/ beat boxer Kid Beyond.

Merry Widow at Joffrey

So we have great, great seats for our Joffrey subscription, but story ballets weren't exactly why we signed up. This was fun but didn't knock the socks off. Dinner at Mercat for restaurant week before was really fun, though.

Mark Morris at Mandel Hall

Always entertaining Mark Morris.

Choreographer Mark Morris talks with Princeton musicologist Simon Morrison.

As You Like It at Chicago Shakes

We were slightly mixed on this. I have a tiny little crush on Kate Fry who played Rosalind, so I thought she was terrific, but Ms. S was less enamored. Overall, the show was elegant without being fussy. And a nice twist with both Rosalind and Orlando splitting the epilogue.

Odradeck at House

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

So, someone got sick in the middle of the performance and they had to pause the show, one of my guests didn't take well to the gore and had to step out and frankly, after the pause, the audience acted like they were at a baseball game, coming and going at will. Dark. Onward, my House friends.

Three Tall Women at Court

Totally unfamiliar with this script. Some outstanding performance, and the Court is always solid.
