What are you typically doing at 11:30PM on a Sunday Night? My bet is that you fall into one of these categories: A) You’ve got a case of the Sunday Scaries, looking for something to combat the impending Monday Blues. B) You’ve been in your house all weekend catching up on Netflix and need some…
The music begins to swell, the lights go down, and with one moment, we’re back in Old Hollywood with Norma Desmond. That’s right – Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tony Award Winning masterpiece Sunset Boulevard is back on Broadway, and yes, the magnificent Glenn Close reprises her role of Norma Desmond. Close is joined by Michael Xavier as Joe…
Last week I went to see The Scarlet Letter at Bay Street Theater. Full disclosure – it’s directed by my father, Joe Minutillo, and written by Scott Eck, and my father. I truly had no intention of writing about it – I honestly don’t even like The Scarlet Letter that much. I mean, come on…

We journey with Simon McBurney in The Encounter…
“Please turn off thee cell phone ringing; open any candies…softly….sloooowly” These were the instructions we received from a strapping, foreign “stagehand” as lights went down in the 777 Theater for Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man…and immediately, the night was off to a sexy, silly start. This “stagehand” was soon introduced as…
One week ago I was invited to see Small Mouth Sounds. Small Mouth Sounds, written by Beth Wohl and directed by Rachel Chavkin, is about six strangers who flee from the city to a silent retreat in the woods. It’s awkward. It’s funny. It’s sad. It’s charming. It’s amazing what happens when words and voice…
