The Woods Hole Film Festival kicks off its 25th anniversary season on July 30 and not a moment too soon.

Who ya gonna call? Well in 2016 it's the all-female GHOSTBUSTERS, a re-envisioning, if you will (and many wouldn't), of the 1984 cult classic played by a fabulous foursome: Melissa McCarthy, and SNL's Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones.

My heart is filled with outrage, and sorrow, and the need to DO something about the killing of Black Americans and White Police Officers. The show I will write about must go on, and though it's not [...]
It's BEDLAM out there and I am referring to the rambunctious and fantastically subversive theater troupe out of NYC who takes a hearty bite out of Shakespeare, or rather two bites of the same juicy apple. The Bard called his gender-bending comedy of love, manners, and female empowerment TWELFTH NIGHT OR WHAT YOU WILL. BEDLAM takes the title literally and [...]
This summer's movies have kept me running back to live theater instead. There's a lavish new production of SHOWBOAT that just docked at the Shubert Theatre, the inaugural production of the Fiddlehead Theatre Company's partnership with Citi Center-- and it's a stunning debut! I was struck by the beauty of the set before I ever heard a note from the enormous orchestra. [...]
