With costumes and performances as vibrant as the most fanciful of iPad applications, the Arden Theatre’s world premiere production of The Flea and the Professor is the kind of entertainment most capable of forcing young children to lift their sagging heads up out of their laps while also filling their […]
My interest in Dr. Seuss ebbs and flows and, by proximity, so does my children’s. But just as it was in September 2010 when we four frolicked in Seuss World at Universal Studios Florida, our family’s current answer to “would you / could you” is a resounding YES! It started […]
Half rock show, half puppet show, half off-Broadway musical. PASTA! A Pops Ups Puppet Musical is WAY more than the sum of it’s outrageously fun parts. OWTK caught the end of PASTA’s last run at the Soho Playhouse, in late-December ’10. What we witnessed was quite possibly the greatest live […]
