A key to where some of my other theater writings have surfaced lately:
- My six-page feature on the impending 85th anniversary of the Bushnell performing arts center in Hartford, for Hoffman Decades magazine, is here.
- My 3000-word history of New Haven’s Shubert theater (which turned 100 years old this month) is in the October issue of Connecticut Magazine, is here.
- A completely different take on the Shubert’s centennial, for Yale Alumni Magazine, is here.
- My review of the Long Wharf Theater production of Steve Martin’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile, for the Hartford Courant, is here.
- My review of the Yale Rep world premiere of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ War, is here.
- My preview feature on The Circus in Winter at Goodspeed’s Norma Terris Theatre is here.
- My New Haven Independent review of Our Town at the Long Wharf Theatre is here.
- My New Haven Independent review of Arcadia at the Yale Repertory Theatre, back in mid-October, is here.
- My Hartford Courant review of Lynn Nottage’s Intimate Apparel at Westport Country Playhouse is here.
In addition, I do regular preview and/or highlight blurbs for a number of publications. I compile the “Best Bets” columns for New Haven Living magazine and Hartford magazine, “Arnott’s Arts Happenings” for the New Haven Independent and “Seven Days” for CTNow. A lot of my pithiest theater wonkery is to be found in those places. Seriously, search for my surname in their databases and literally dozens of items will turn up.
And keep coming back here to Theater Jerk. It’s where my quirkiest, most heartfelt theater writings reside.
