Review: In A Doll’s House, Nora’s Dirty Little Secret is the Least of Her Problems
As the well-dressed patrons duck into the Hudson Theatre from the steady Manhattan rain outside, they are greeted by the sight of a lone woman, seated on stage, slowly rotating in a long circle. High above her head is the projected number 1879. So begins A Doll’s House, a modern remake of the original three-act…

Why Kobe Was Our Hero
The California sun beat down hard on the asphalt pavement. But the heat did not deter us from one of our favorite pastimes – shooting hoops. Again and again we would fire the ball in the basket, making layups, testing our range, competing to see who had the best style and form. “Here it is,…

Finding Ourselves With the Help of Dear Evan Hansen
As I stood shaving in the bathroom of the Airbnb in Rome, my ears were captivated by Ben Platt’s interview with Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air podcast. The actor, known for his role as Benji in Pitch Perfect, was breaking down the plot of the hit Broadway musical in which he held the original…

The Lehman Trilogy – Worth the Cost of Admission
The ornate theatre was crowded, but not stuffy. It had been over two years since I last sat in a seat on Broadway – long before the pandemic – and the seats were about as tight as I remembered. Tonight’s play is The Lehman Trilogy, a play I’d heard about a few years back on…

Lost in Istanbul
The call to prayer rings out into the evening as I climb the steep, winding cobblestone streets to the tram line. A benefit of flying Turkish Airlines to Southern France was that, if you have a 24 hour-plus layover, as I do, they offer a free hotel and a chance to explore Istanbul. Nevertheless, at…

Savoring Southern France, Part IV
It was perhaps the quickest and smoothest kick-off meeting I’d ever been in. Starting off with new clients always takes time, with many details to work through and long, often tiring meetings. But not this one. Anthony, the COO of Paris-based Angelina Paris, a renowned Parisian teahouse and pastry shop, sat across from me as…

Savoring Southern France, Part III
The train barely makes a sound as it glides along the coastline of Southern France. To my right, I can see the snow-capped mountains towering above us. To my left, the sea stretches out, with yachts and boats anchored in the various harbors and families playing along the beachfront. My destination is Grasse, known as…
