Love Machine - Review
Science fiction tells us that robots can be used to do our menial labor. They can also fight our wars. But long before sentient janitorbots, and robosoldiers come to pass, there will be lovebot. Forming a meaningful relationship with a human is hard, but the sleek bodies and programmable minds ...
Shotz - Konami Code
The full title of the latest show by Shotz is actually Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A Shotz! Gamers know that this sequence of moves on a video game controller is “The Konami Code”, an arcane hack that could be used to unlock special features and ...
Comic Inspired Play Reading at SoHo Gallery for Digital Art
There are a lot of plays about costumed crimefighters these days, but we've found one that's about two of the most controversial figures in the history of comic books: William Moulton Marston and Frederic Wertham. It's a one-act play called "Last Days of The Brave & Bold" "The play presents what ...
how i learned to become a Superhero - Review
Comic books aren’t the only place that you can find superheroes. No, the real world has its own share of Real Life Superheroes. Actual masked do-gooders who put on costumes and patrol their neighborhoods to fight crime (Or just make flamboyant displays of good citizenship). The new play how i ...

Goldor $ Mythyka - Review
Every decade gets a new moral panic. Right now video games are turning your kids into serial killers, but back in the 80's Dungeons & Dragons was responsible for all of America's problems. The moral panic was so overblown that a TV movie called Mazes and Monsters was made staring ...
That Play: A Solo Macbeth - Review
That Play is a one-man Macbeth. No, the man is not Alan Cumming, but that's okay because Tom Gualtieri has made a funny, abbreviated version of The Scottish Play that still manages to offer audiences insight into the relevance of this supernatural tragedy, all in under ninety minutes. That Play has ...
Kinky Boots - Review
It's hard being a woman in a man's world, but it's even harder being a man dressed as a woman in a man's world. Transvestites face an array of difficulties in life; getting stereotyped as Norman Bates serial killers, or being portrayed as predatory tricksters like in The Crying Game, ...
