The Best Movies of All Time

(In my rarely-if-ever-humble opinion) Not too long ago, in a galaxy not too far away, I started creating a list of movies. Movies that everybody loved. Movies that got the critics and box offices gushing and begging for more. What made this list so special? It was that I actively…

Everything I Wish I Knew Day 1 of Freshman Year of College

Teaching and learning are two great passions of mine, and I had the honor and pleasure of teaching a workshop to my old student theatre organization at the University of Florida, Florida Players! Having been a working Artist in NYC…

Arts Wars: Episode I — “The Phantom (Menace) of the Opera”

After an unprecedented, 35-year run, The Phantom of the Opera is soon to be just that: a Phantom, a Ghost, no more. Datz right, folks. One of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s mega-hit musicals, The Phantom of the Opera, is closing on Broadway. Was this inevitable? Or simply another casualty on the…

The Best of 2021

(In my rarely-if-ever humble opinion) Inspired by former President Barack Obama’s “Best Of” lists to commemorate the year, I decided to make my own! Unlike the 44th leader of the free world, however, I don’t keep my lists focused on entertainment exclusively released in 2021. …

The Best Books/Authors of All Time

(In my rarely-if-ever humble opinion) I’ll admit it. Out of all of the areas of entertainment in which I call myself an expert…traditional books aren’t necessarily on the top of the list. Plays? Sure! Books? Not as much. (Although I have read about 115 Books, not to mention 100 Graphic…

On Ed Catmull’s “Creativity, Inc.”

A bite-sized summary of the Pixar co-founder’s terrific book on leadership… For some reason, people assume that if you’re really good at something, you’ll be really good at leading other people to do it, too. Having worked under some great leaders, having worked under some not-so-great leaders, and having been…

The Present’s Responsibility to Our Past and Future

How African American Theatre History teaches us to use Art to fight Injustice… Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Some may argue that celebrities (including but not limited to: Artists, athletes, comedians, etc.) should “stay in their lane” and not attempt…

The Best Television Shows of All Time

(In my rarely-if-ever-humble opinion) I almost didn’t write this article. While I watch TV more than I watch movies or read plays, I found those lists much easier to write. Movies are much more finite than TV. Take even some of the longest-running movie series, and they won’t compare to…

The Theatre of Clarity

What Theatre should be (in my rarely-if-ever humble opinion) Martin Esslin said in his essay on Absurdist Theatre, “Absurd is that which has no purpose, or goal, or objective.” As far as I’m concerned, this is a waste of Art. Art is so powerful and important, yet so many so-called…
