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

More Theater Monday - Relative Stranger

We received complimentary tickets to Relative Stranger for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed are our own. 


What: Relative Stranger 

Where: SoHo Playhouse 
            15 Vandam St. 
            New York, NY 

Who: Recommended for Ages 18 and Up

When: Through September 28, 2025


Comedian Chanel Ali had a difficult childhood. Among other things, she had to deal with a schizophrenic mother, an abusive grandmother, and numerous foster homes. Meeting her cop father at age 18 did not exactly make things better. 


Now, she has channeled her trauma into a new show that tells her story in a way that is both hilarious and heartbreaking. At its core, however, it is hopeful and inspirational because, despite everything she has been through, she has been able to survive and thrive, and maybe others can survive whatever they've had to deal with too. 


And that's our view. For more information about Relative Stranger or to purchase tickets, visit 

Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.

2) Drunk Dracula

After centuries of being cooped up in his creepy old castle, Transylvania’s thirstiest bachelor took a giant bite out of the Big Apple last fall – but apparently, one bite wasn’t enough. He’s back, bolder, and thirstier than ever, looking for new victims to charm, seduce, or sip on. This fall, audiences will once again be treated to a fangtastic night of booze-soaked laughs, outrageous surprises, and maybe even a little necking. Grab a glass and join us as history’s most famous vampire (sorry, Edward Cullen) navigates the concrete jungle, one shot at a time, in Drunk Dracula. Will you be his next victim, or will you stake your claim as the one who got away? Prepare for a spooky night of booze-infused laughs...and maybe even a bit of necking.

The Ruby Theatre (35 W. 39th St.)
10/24 - 11/2

3) Freedom Riders: The Civil Rights Musical 

Presented as a staged concert, this musical event explores the true story of the interracial group of young activists who risked their lives in 1961 to challenge segregation and ignite a national movement. Through powerful music, compelling narrative, and vivid historical context, Freedom Riders transform one of the most pivotal chapters of the Civil Rights Movement into a powerful musical experience.

This special presentation will also honor changemakers of today with the John Lewis Award of Freedom, an award recognizing individuals whose work embodies the late Congressman’s lifelong fight for justice, equality, and nonviolent change. The recipients will be celebrated for carrying forward the legacy of the Freedom Riders and Lewis himself.

4) From Trinity to Trinity

At 14 years old, Hayashi was working at the Mitsubishi Munitions Factory in Nagasaki when she survived the bombing on August 9, 1945. Decades later, in 1999, she traveled to the Trinity Site in New Mexico, where the first atomic bomb had been tested. That pilgrimage became the foundation of her autobiographical narrative, From Trinity to Trinity, a meditation on memory, survival, and how history is remembered across cultures.

August 9, 2025, marked the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. In this milestone year, the world remembers not only the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but also the liberation of Nazi death camps—twin reminders of humanity’s capacity for cruelty and survival. From Trinity to Trinity amplifies Kyoko Hayashi’s powerful voice, urging audiences to reckon with the chasm between national myths of “heroism” and the lived reality of indiscriminate violence.

5) Lost and Found

LOST AND FOUND takes place in a laundromat in Brooklyn, New York on August 14th, 2003 during one of the largest blackouts in US history. With no electricity coming back anytime soon, two strangers stick together during a time of darkness and uncertainty. They pass time drinking, playing games, and folding laundry which ultimately leads them to form a connection and reveal their own secrets and pasts, discovering they have more in common than they think. This play shows us what grief can do in the aftermath of loss and the powerful connections we create when showing up for one another.

6) Nothing Like Broadway 

Packed with spy antics and secret identities, NOTHING LIKE BROADWAY!  is set in an Off-Broadway cabaret theater. It follows Milo, a schlubby lighting booth guy with big dreams of stepping into the spotlight, and his best friend Annabelle. Their Broadway aspirations are upended when two spies arrive on the scene, each hiding from the other while posing as cabaret singers. As secrets unravel and covert operations collide, Milo navigates the chaos and might just save the world while performing on that glorious, tiny stage.

8) Oedipus in Seattle

Each night, two actors—who have never read the script or rehearsed—take the stage to perform the show for the first time!


In this mashup of the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex and the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan rom-com Sleepless in Seattle, two unsuspecting actors play Oedipus/Meg Ryan, and Jocasta/Tom Hanks. Guided only by what’s in their hearts and the voice of destiny (okay, pre-recorded directions over a headset), Oedipus/Meg and Jocasta/Tom act out this hilarious yet poignant meditation on fate, free will, and the American sweethearts who defined rom-coms for a generation. A rotating cast of Theatre Horizon favorites takes the stage each night, making every performance a singular, unrepeatable event.

Liaisons: Re-Imagining Sondheim from the Piano 
David Rubenstein Atrium 
Free 

Concert pianist and new music innovator Anthony de Mare's Liaisons project proposes a new way of considering the work of Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim. In 2009, de Mare began commissioning some of Sondheim's most luminous contemporaries—including Steve Reich, Nico Muhly, Duncan Sheik, Wynton Marsalis, Tania León, and William Bolcom—to rescore Sondheim's best known songs as solo piano pieces. The result is a remarkable compendium of 36 homages, rhapsodies, and re-imaginings spanning the worlds of classical, jazz, film, pop, and musical theater firmly establishing the case for Sondheim as one of the 20th century's most influential composers. Shortly before Sondheim's passing in 2021, de Mare and the Liaisons team revived the project with 14 new commissions from the next generation of creative voices, including new compositions by Christopher Cerrone, Timo Andres, Mark Bennett, Conrad Tao, Jeff Beal, Jon Batiste, Kevin Puts, and Max Richter. This evening concert at the Atrium celebrates the recorded release of Liaisons II with a live performance of these new classics.
