On Cats, Corpses and Community Care: Amber Lucia Chabus at The Yellow Room by Luisa Lynch

There are few people I know personally who could effectively pull off creating not one, but two professional dance pieces about a very specific animal while making it funny, tasteful, and only a little bit weird. The interesting thing is, both of these pieces could not be more different from each other.

Mosaic Theater Company’s Precarious by Audrey Brown

In the aftermath of the pandemic years, when the reality was the reverse for many young twenty- and thirty-somes, playwright Steph Del Rosso flips the script, forcing climate warrior Vi into her daughter Tillie’s one-bedroom New York apartment that she shares with partner Drew.

Chez Joey at Arena Stage by Audrey Brown
