Bird Walks
|
|
|
Bird watching once conjured up images of tramping around in tweeds and breaking for tea and crumpets, but birding is surprisingly popular for a sport that became fashionable in Victorian England. In the late 1980s it was estimated more than 61 million people in North America regularly spent... More >> |

Once

'Jazz Night'
|
|
|
This weekly jazz jam at the newly expanded Spike Hill bar in Williamsburg is as raucous as anything else on its stretch of Bedford.

Kinky Boots
|
|
|
Some of us have quite enough trouble simply walking in six-inch stilettos. But to sing and dance and act in them? Really, someone should hand out honorary Tonys to the Kinky Boots cast just for trying. This new tuner draws its inspiration from a recent British film, itself based... More >> |

Far From Heaven
|
|
|
Before Todd Haynes debuted the 2002 film Far From Heaven, a lush homage to the melodramas of Douglas Sirk, he considered several alternate titles: This Splendid Life, The Surface of Things, Fall From Splendor. Any of them might accurately describe the movie’s mélange of magnificent... More >> |

Reasons to Be Happy
|
|
|
Reasons to Be Happy may be the name of writer-director Neil LaBute’s latest play, but it seems that his characters are having a hard time coming up with any.

The Nance
|
|
|
Nathan Lane may number among the most talented of our stage entertainers, but not perhaps the most masculine. This makes him an ideal star for Douglas Carter Beane’s new play, about the world of 1930s burlesque and the men and women called upon to play gay in service of comedy. Jack... More >> |

Matthew Barney

Artist and filmmaker Matthew Barney is famous for taking gooey, slimy, moldable materials to create his ambitious sculptures and for sometimes making a mess in the process (the street in front of the SFMOMA once got a warm petroleum jelly bath when the hose that was pumping 1,600 gallons of...

Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike

|
Not every playwright can compose a shockingly funny paean to the joys of stamp-licking. Then again, not every playwright is Chris Durang.
