Shelter in Place: A Heartwarming Theatrical Triumph at the Players Theatre

Shelter in Place delivers heartwarming comedy and profound emotional truth at the intimate Sgouros Theatre in Greenwich Village. Joan Kane’s masterful direction guides a stellar ensemble through Henry Feldman’s tender exploration of family, sacrifice, and self-discovery. This not-to-be-missed production runs through January 25, 2026—a perfect antidote to winter’s chill.

David Dean Bottrell: A Teenage Wasteland at Pangea

The premise of Teenage Wasteland is as universal as it is specific. Bottrell focuses on his tumultuous teenage years growing up in the Bible Belt during the cultural upheaval of the 1970s. For anyone who has survived the awkwardness of adolescence—the heartbreaks, the insecurities, the desperate quest for identity—this show offers both a mirror and a balm.

Eli Bolin Has No Friends

As the show unwound, it was like a fun family reunion picnic of Saturday Night Live, Second City Television, and a dash of Uncle Floyd, where everyone takes turns showing what they can do to make everyone smile and better off than when they arrived.

David Dean Bottrell: The Death of Me Yet at Pangea

Tonight was David Dean Bottrell: The Death of Me Yet at Pangea in New York City’s East Village. The high-energy storyteller slapped himself, immediately capturing the audience’s attention and earning laughs. Bottrell began his one-man show consisting of a series of stories about his life that, while appearing to be individual, were, in the end, connected and universal.

Cold Feet A Comedy Extravaganza

From the onset, Cold Feet was saucy with an eccentric style of humor, bizarre characters like Shelly the orangutan with her goofy grunts and screams, and off-the-wall skits. Laughs were guaranteed through the sequences of impudence, knee-slapping silliness, physical comedy, parody, surrealism, and wordplay.

The Village! A Disco Daydream at Dixon Place

Tonight’s Disco Daydream was an immersive fun-fete celebrating the universal quest for elusive love and where it might be found. The cast touched hearts and drew inspiration from an empathetic audience that sighed at hints of romance, camaraderie, and reminiscences of disco’s glory days. The music never stopped in this story of love and tragedy as it unfolded through incredible dance routines, driving music, humor, charm, and physicality.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

The troupe aptly expressed the story with its twists and turns, plot and subplots, and its sojourn into the supernatural world of the night forest. We were indeed transported into the supernatural moonlit dreamscape of fairies. We experienced the mystical, love potions, and the droll interactions of humans and pixies.

Jerry Seinfeld Comes to Morristown

Seinfeld launched into a routine about the way New Yorkers speak. “You can live ‘in’ the city, but you live ‘on’ Long Island. You can live ‘in’ The Hamptons, but you don’t live ‘on’ them.” But he didn’t stop there, and the theatergoers loved it.
