Traditional arts journalism is in decline. Now more than ever, this independent website and our podcast fill a growing void. We've had over 1.5 million page views, and are grateful that you are here. We rely on readers — and a handful of advertisers who share our values — to make our work possible. When we raised funds for our podcast, The "Performers Podcast," the average donation from people like you was $96. Now we hope you’ll join us in augmenting our coverage of arts in the region by making a one-time donation today.

Play will make you weep healing tears

“…one of those rare pieces of theatre that manages to be both moving and hilarious….Peacock once again proves that, in her maturity, she has become a truly great artist and Rooney continues to enforce his reputation as one of the masters of minimalism.” 4/4 Stars.
