When a piece of art or performance is designated as avant-garde it sometimes translates to out-there, off-putting, or intimidating. (Consider Marcel Duchamp's Fountain or dadaism's abstractions of anything and everything.) But, for Trisha Brown Dance Company, avant-garde means pushing the...

That comedian Kathy Griffin inspires fear in A-list celebrities is no coincidence. Griffin has made a (post-acting) career of poking fun at high profile hot messes such as Lindsay Lohan and Paula Abdul -- not to mention famous folks who take themselves ridiculously seriously, ahem, Ryan...

Playwright Martin McDonagh makes the case that artistic freedom always...

Maybe it’s the smell of popcorn, the mystery of a suddenly appearing striped tent, or maybe it has something to do with our love of Saving Silverman character Sandy, a trapeze-artist-gone-nun. Whatever the intrigue, there’s something simply thrilling about the arrival of a circus. ...

It must have started with zombies. Add a little apocalyptic action to a Jane Austen novel and once dry social commentary becomes riveting comedy. But years after Pride and Prejudice and Zombies hit the stores, it seems bookish scholars and college dropouts alike still revel in the wondrous...

Dramatist, poet, and composer Federico García Lorca -- a classically educated Spaniard who was best known for writing about Gypsies and country people, in revered works like Blood Wedding and The House of Bernarda Alba -- was quite the bundle of passionate contradictions. The exact...

Had we, like the heroines of Wicked, attended Shiz University, we'd be a powerful sorceress now. (Woulda been handy when we learned that our witchy roommate had burned through a Benjamin of our long-distance service.) Real life remains less thrilling, though, so it's off to ASU Gammage (via...

We’ve got a serious case of the Sundays, and we need the soulful twilight ministrations of Paisley Yankolovich’s The Liberal Soul.
Pastor Paisley is a disciple of God and devotee of Burt Bacharach, but we also sense a costuming collision of Mildred Pierce and Liza Minnelli....

The phrase “cage match” conjures up images of spurting blood, ripping flesh, and thugs pounding each other inside of a steel trap. Not exactly a gentleman’s sport.
At the Torch Theatre’s Cage Match series, however, raging fists are replaced by clever quips and verbal...

In an era when every TV show and movie seems to be a remake, adaptation, or a re-released remake of an adaptation -- in 3-D! -- an all-too-common consensus is that creative types (and their suited financiers) have just plain run out of ideas.
