Tim, a veteran lensman, is hunkered down in a wildlife hide, where he meets Marcus, his new apprentice. Their early interactions are filled with friction, as they clash over everything from making tea to the creative process.

You just wake up in a shock, he said. You want to delay the real understanding of it. Now Molochnikov, 34, has lived in the U.S. for almost four years.

"He talked about his therapy, he apologized, he owned what he said, he reflected on it. He was in the process of rehabilitation. So I just think that, unless we think there is no possibility of real rehabilitation, then we shouldn't ask people to try and do it."

Lea Michele's Cajun Chicken Salad at Joe Allen features well-cooked chicken breast over romaine lettuce with toasted bread crumbs and a Gorgonzola-forward dressing that reflects her personal taste.

The prospect of an all-female cast version of David Mamet's seminal drama of doomed masculinity and rampant capitalism Glengarry Glen Ross has been kicking around for a while now.

Reviving it in a venue so steeped in sex, spectacle, and decadence feels less like a bold idea than an obvious one. Produced by the Roundabout Theatre Company and directed by Sam Pinkleton, this revival leans fully into the material's identity as an event.

Choy-Ping Ní Chléirigh-Ng expresses that growing up in Wicklow as a mixed-race individual often felt isolating, as they navigated their identity in a small town.

"We are the eyes and ears, the business side of theater. Anything not on stage goes through us. Justin likes to say we're the octopus of the show."

There is a kind of role that I've always wanted to play that I feel like I'm getting to play for the first time, which is kind of a cocky, quick *sshole. I watched Chris Pine do a role when I was a teenager in this play Fat Pig that's that. This Is Our Youth has that. Glengarry Glen Ross has Ricky Roma, especially, has that.

Broadway Bares: License to Strip is a spy-inspired spectacle that leans into intrigue, fantasy, and a whole lot of skin, featuring over 200 dancers.

The Glass Menagerie at Shaking the Tree Theatre is a graceful gift of a show that's so quietly beautiful, watching it is like sitting in a rose garden where the individual blossoms slowly unfold as you breathe in their subtle scent.

Half Man begins in the present, with two men circling each other in a dark barn. One, Niall, is in full Scottish wedding fig. The other, Ruben, is stripped to the waist and has his hands wrapped like a sparring boxer.

"We have other options, and other people do want us, but we have to find the right space, because we've been very lucky with this space. But the most important part is to find a place where we can continue all week long, where the school buses can come in and not disturb the neighbors, and be safe. So that is the biggest challenge."

Auburn carefully calibrates the funny with the sad, balances credible realism with fugues of understated poetry. It was once described to me as a perfect play, in the formal sense, a template from which any budding playwright could draw inspiration.

I was just terrified. I was like, 'I don't want to mess this up. It's done so well. Everyone loves it. And now I'm coming in, and I can be the thing that makes the wheels come off.'

In 2025, Dmae Lo Roberts embarked on a statewide storytelling experience focusing on personal stories from both artists and community members. These stories are a form of living oral history.

CoHo hasn't just survived, it has thrived and is ascending, and that is largely thanks to the foundation that Cuomo... laid with the young artists who have come up after him.

The title was spontaneous, impulsive. It was inspired by Kenneth Anger. He has two films with 'Rising' in the title - 'Lucifer Rising' and 'Scorpio Rising' - and I wanted to make something in this supernatural, surreal, occultist, exaggerated, fantasy world, like his films.

A big issue with how we understand Shakespeare and how we're introduced to it is we sit down and read it. But Shakespeare's plays, like any play, are meant to be heard, to be experienced.

The tragicomic look at two lives on hold struck a chord; its depiction of a family bickering and bantering, and of the risks of intimacy, felt specific and true.

"Rather than a traditional theatre, we are creating a garden of earthly delights. Empyrean is a place of ecstasy, artistry and real interpersonal connection. When the curtain falls, the night has just begun."
