Review: KT Sullivan's CARPET RIDE at the Laurie Beechman Is a Glorious Glide
No, the Laurie Beechman Theatre/ West Bank Cafe will not be disappearing forever as feared. KT Sullivan was one of the last booked artists before the hiatus and re-opening. Her show was a pleasure.

Review: DEATHTRAP at Spotlighters Is a Self-Referential, Funny, and Sometimes Scary Delight
Hall of Mirrors. Self-referential. Meta. All of these terms might be used to supplement the general category of Thriller into which Deathtrap, Ira Levin’s 1978 Broadway hit currently being resurrected at Spotlighters, fits. Yes, the play is (as a thriller should be) about lethal relationships and scary surprises.
