THEATRE REVIEW: Sweeney Todd At Theatre VCU

It is a really bizarre to experience a play adapted from a musical. Musicals have a campy feel to them, and the plots they revolve around are usually a little daft. The story and emotional content of the piece–humor, pathos, love, anger–are communicated through the...

Theater Review: Richmond Shakespeare’s The Tempest

Complexity, and especially ambiguity, are what make Shakespeare Shakespeare. The Bard has many strengths: the grace of his verse and the ease with which he coined the perfect phrase or word, the ability to make esoteric and highly specific situations universally...

Boom Boom Basics Burlesque Studio Student Recital

Doctor Astronaut’s Star Slam #2

The new moon in Aries on the 22nd, along with the Sun in Aries, is giving everyone that sense of urgency. And if that wasn’t enough, did I mention Uranus in Aries on the 24th? That kind of fire makes us cocky, aggressive, and a bit premature in our actions, whether or not the timing is appropriate. It probably isn’t. The new moon in Aries on the...
