I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

1) Brody Went Missing

Brody is the coolest guy in Langstown—and he seems to have everything figured out. He is poised to take over the town’s most popular party supply store from his mother, surrounded by the life and friends he has always known. So when Brody suddenly leaves a note announcing that he is leaving town forever, his best friends, Angie and Doug, are left with more questions than answers. Determined to find him, Angie and Doug hit the road, blasting music and encountering an unpredictable assortment of characters along the way. What begins as a search for their missing friend becomes a madcap journey of friendship, accepting change, and the question of what happens when the person everyone thinks they know decides to disappear. Along the way, the play embraces themes of chosen family, self-discovery, and LGBTQ+ inclusion.

The Chain Theatre (312 W. 36th St.)
11/5 - 11/8

2) Broom Play

Two janitors return every day to the same room to do the same work: cleaning a space that refuses to get clean, in a building that never gives them water, with only one mop, and no brooms. ​ One has stopped wanting and calls it peace. The other remains consumed by the possibility that life could become something more. Through eccentric clowning and moments of unexpected tenderness, their repetitive life forms into a tragicomedy about an overwhelming desire for a radical turn in life and also the gut-wrenching fear of that change: a tension the play itself embodies through multiple endings, shifting form with every performance. ​ A nod to Beckett, Ionesco, and the European theatre of the absurd, Broom Play brings the comic, the frightening, and the tragic into the same world.

The Player's Theatre (115 MacDougal St.)
11/5 - 11/29

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit ci.ovationtix.com/277/production/1288031. ​

3) Fantasma

On Christmas Eve, three generations of women gather in Rosie’s newly renovated kitchen to make chuchitos – a traditional Guatemalan recipe passed down by heart, touch, and intuition. While her granddaughters attempt to document the dish step-by-step, they discover that what’s being preserved isn’t just food, and that recording and remembering are entirely different things. Spanning nearly two decades, Fantasma is a bittersweet exploration of what we keep, what we lose, and the impossibility of ever capturing it exactly right.

Together they will laugh at the Jewish stereotype and earn real money along the way. Because, while GOOD SHOWBIZ is a show, it is also a business. Ages 16+. Featuring Sarah Shtern and live music from Nicole Demaio. Produced by Sydney Feyder at Thruline Entertainment.

5) Inter Alia

Jessica Parks is a maverick London Crown Court Judge; sharp, compassionate, and determined to change a system she knows isn’t always just. But her career exists inter alia (“among other things”) as she balances motherhood, friendship and the elusive notion of “having it all.” So, when an unthinkable event rocks her finely tuned life, can she hold her family together – or will everything fall apart?

In Ivories, prodigal playwright Sloane is summoned back to her childhood home to care for her grandmother, whose severe dementia has left the family estate in their hands. Accompanied by her botanist husband Gwyn, Sloane attempts to settle into a new routine and begin the painful work of sorting through her grandmother’s belongings. When Gwyn’s childhood best friend Beckham arrives to help settle the estate, the reunion initially offers Sloane a welcome connection to the life they left behind. But as the three uncover secrets hidden throughout the house, long-buried memories and childhood trauma begin to resurface. Beneath the floorboards and within Sloane’s own fractured memories, something is waiting.

Their reunion reopens old wounds, including Connie’s abandoned literary ambitions and a childhood spent in the shadow of her parents’ troubled marriage. At the center of it all is Mountain Girl, a story Connie has never managed to finish and one her mother has never forgotten.

10) The Panic Defense

The Panic Defense exposes how prejudice is weaponized in courtrooms when LGBTQ+ lives are devalued. Through the stories of four individuals whose lives are cut short through violence, this urgent and unflinching play challenges a legal loophole that turns fear into an excuse and justice into a myth. When panic is the defense, justice is on trial.

The American Symphony Orchestra (ASO), led by Music Director Leon Botstein, performs Mozart & Friends.

Anchored by Mozart’s Mass in C Major (“Coronation Mass”), the program includes Johann Adolf Hasse’s Miserere in C minor and the U.S. premieres of Michael Haydn’s Missa Sancti Joannis Nepomuceni and Georg Anton Benda’s cantata “Gott steigt herab.” The Orchestra will be joined by the Bard Festival Chorale, led by James Bagwell.

14) Mirlitons by François Chaignaud & Aymeric Hainaux

What does mirliton mean? Depending on the context, a mirliton could be a kid’s flute, a bad poem, an old French coin, a military hat, or a pastry. In this performance, it’s an encounter between two voices and bodies: choreographer François Chaignaud and beatboxer Aymeric Hainaux. The audience is presented with a total saturation of frequencies and muscles in this energetic performance, as the artists engage in a percussive duel. Through their voices, feet, arms, props and costumes, Chaignaud and Hainaux create a duet that is as uncategorizable as the word mirliton.

Le Skyroom, L'Alliance New York (22 E. 60th St., 8th Fl. )
11/4 - 11/6

15) Turn. Turning. TURNT. by Cythnia Oliver

The rhythmic agility of Double Dutch jump roping. A flurry of vibrant action. Pulsing sound and considered movement. These are all facets of the program that marks Cynthia Oliver’s return to BAM. Turn. Turning. TURNT. is a three-part evening of dance comprising work constructed prior to, during, and following the 2020 global pandemic. Tether meditates on Black girls’ creativity and play as life strategy. Fallow depicts the chaotic underbelly of the pandemic through movement. Summon. Sow. Reap. explores our re-emergence from isolation through deep rhythm and spiritual patterning.

Oliver, a Bessie Award-winning choreographer and 2022 Guggenheim Fellow, directs a cast of six notable contemporary dance artists in her first BAM staging since 2017’s Virago-Man Dem. Together with her team of collaborators, she cultivates a powerful amalgam of sound, design, and light in service of an evening of dance that responds to these moments in our shared history with fierce determination and hope.

D) Exhibit

16) Constantin Brâncuși: The Photographs - An Online Exhibit

To coincide with the Museum of Modern Art’s Brancusi: The Artist and His Studio, which Deborah Solomon hailed as “revelatory” in today’s New York Times, we are pleased to present a special online exhibition of more than 30 rare vintage photographs that Constantin Brâncuși himself took and printed. They are drawn from a collection we have assembled over the past 25 years, one of the largest in private hands, and include several highly desirable larger-format prints. Made between 1915 and 1943, they span almost three decades and nearly the full range of his photographic subjects: sculptures and their bases, groupes mobiles, self-portraits at work and at play, and still lifes. They include examples from the collections of James Johnson Sweeney, the influential museum curator and director; John Constantin Brâncuși Moore, Brâncuși’s son; and Marthe Lebherz, a dancer and close companion of the artist, as well as a signed self-portrait from 1926, mounted on Brâncuși’s passport application.

24) BERGEN EQUESTRIAN PRESENTS “RESCUED HEARTS” MOVIE NIGHT FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT LOCAL VETERANS

Discover the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses during a special documentary screening at Bergen County Equestrian Center on November 7

An evening at Bergen Equestrian at Overpeck Park will shine a light on the extraordinary connection between horses and people while raising funds to support veterans in New Jersey experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our Stable Life will present a special screening of the documentary Rescued Hearts.

Exploring the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses, Rescued Hearts follows deeply personal stories of transformation. Through lived experiences and scientific insight, the film examines how the horse-human bond can create opportunities for connection, trust, and healing.

The documentary was inspired by a remarkable moment: a 7-year-old child diagnosed with autism spoke his first words while interacting with a horse. That encounter led filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton on a journey to understand what makes this connection so powerful. Along the way, their exploration transformed their own lives, including helping to heal the relationship between Croschere and her father.

Bergen County Equestrian Center, Overpeck Park (40 Fort Lee Rd., Leonia)
Saturday, November 7, 7:00 PM

For more information or to purchase a ticket, which includes popcorn and a soda, visit

All funds raised go toward Our Stable Life for providing equine therapy programs at no charge for veterans in New Jersey.

DREAM: A Freudian Musical, a brand-new show by Larson Award winner Daniel Emond (Kill The Whale) will premiere at Joe’s Pub.


Set inside the dreamspace, DREAM: A Freudian Musical tells the little-known story of Sabina Spielrein, a “hysteria” patient-turned-psychoanalyst; her physician-turned-lover Carl Jung; and their mutual mentor, Sigmund Freud. This show presents the original score, which behaves like a dream itself, colliding the likes of Joanna Newsom, Sam Smith, Wagner, Eminem, and everything in between. It’s a musical about dreams, death, rebirth—and the dangers of telling your therapist, “I love you.” Presented in partnership with YoungArts.


Featuring music direction by JT KAUFMAN, the 75-minute show will feature Ellie Barone (Hightown) as Sabina; Jordon Bolden(The Kill Room) as Jung; Daniel Emond (The Great Comet) as Freud; Jo Lampert (Joan of Arc, Transparent) as S. Spielrein, along with special guest Samantha Pauly (Broadway’s Six, The Great Gatsby).
