This one is mostly about Tetris. So put the Wii down and get out of the house.

Wine and cheese at Paragraph will follow the reading. - Krissa Corbett Cavouras

All Wear Bowlers playing downtown at Here Arts Center in Soho served as a real reminder to us about the greatness of living in New York and having the ability to seeing something really special in a tiny venue.

There’s no shortage of one-person shows on Broadway this season, and joining those ranks at the Booth Theatre is Eve Ensler, she of Vagina Monologues fame.
