Last week, Irish playwright Enda Walsh’s The New Electric Ballroom opened to rave reviews at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Dumbo, Brooklyn. I fell in love with Walsh’s work reading his first play, Disco Pigs, while living in Cork City, Ireland. Walsh isn’t just a playwright, but [...]

But 50 years ago, viewers tuned in to “The Twilight Zone” to get their weekly eeriness fix. Before the “The Twilight Saga,” and before “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF” became the creepiest [...]

We recently learned that Disney has sealed a deal with David Mamet. He will be writing the screenplay for and directing “The Diary of Anne Frank.”
Breathe.

All this talk in the news about government intervention in business got me thinking: why, in our free market economy, do we pretty much only have one choice for electricity? Arthur Arent’s “Power” asks this question – and answers it too. “Power” premiered in New York in 1937 and was one of the Federal Theatre [...]
