BWW Review: Parental Supervision is Not Optional in Solnik's THE BOHEMIANS
No matter how old we become, our parents are still our parents: from high school to an engagement, to robbing our new apartment, our parents are pillars of love that we never wish to seen torn down. Now, if you're questioning why a couple's parents would collaborate to rob their children's first apartment, you wouldn't be the only ones. There is such an intriguing (and first of its kind that I have seen) backstory as to how four individuals, keen on getting their children out of an unsafe Brooklyn apartment, stage a robbery to expedite the process.

SIXTEEN Gives Strong Voice To Teens In Trouble
Sixteen is a significant, even a sacred, age and number in our society. It's the age at which sweet sixteens are held for girls, a kind of ritual that marks the passage of time and growing up. Even the alliteration of that occasion represents an image of that age as somehow idyllic. It is, however, also an in-between time for people no longer children and not yet fully adults. Many of the more dangerous aspects of the world start to impinge on existence at that age. It is a bittersweet, crucial and, in many ways, a dramatic time.

SIXTEEN By Hama Zaman Comes to TNC Dream Up Fest, 8/26-9/9
The age of sixteen is a delicate one-especially if you're in trouble with the law. "Sixteen," a new drama by Hama Zaman examines the root causes of criminal activity at the age of sixteen, an age where you could be tried as an adult but are far from it. Incorporating spoken word, poetry and multimedia, the play cracks open each offender's story two ways: from inside the subject's mind by direct address monologues, and from the outside analyses and judgments of psychiatric and law enforcement 'professionals.' Theater for the New City's Dream Up Festival will present the world premiere of "Sixteen" August 26 to September 9, directed by Michael Whitney.
