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 - Edward

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

What: Edward

Where: Various Independent Book Stores Throughout New York City

Who: Recommended for Ages 16 and Up

When: Through March 12, 2026

If every object tells a story than it stands to reason that a collection of objects can tell the story of a life. That is the premise of Ed Schimdt's one man play, Edward. The show, which is currently touring various independent bookstores across New York City, is an intimate drama reconstructing the life of a man through the things he left behind. The audience controls the narrative by taking turns choosing the order of the objects to be discussed. Thus, each production of the show is slightly different.

It is unclear whether the main character, Edward O'Connell, is actually a real person. However, whether he is or not doesn't make the show any less poignant. The audience comes away completely believing in him and his story and feeling like they know him. 

Due to the stricty limited number of tickets available per performance, this show has been consistently selling out. However, if you're lucky enough to secure a ticket to one of the remaining performances, it is definitely worthwhile.

And that's our view. For more about Edward or to find out if and when any additonal tickets become available, visit www.edschmidttheater.com

Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.

2) Body Count

Over the last year we’ve witnessed a cultural shift: sex work has become a competitive sport. As OnlyFans creators performing extreme stunts have dominated our headlines, women claiming to have slept with 100 to 1,000 men in under 12 hours have divided liberal feminists all over the world. The internet hasn’t stopped talking about it since.

Is this the doomsday of extremist, capitalist porn? Are competitive OnlyFans models setting feminism back by behaving exactly as the worst kind of men desire? Or is the moral uproar led by pearl-clutching kink-shamers who have no place in the new era of radical sex positivity? BODY COUNT zeroes in on this cultural shift to explore whether it’s ever truly possible to separate emotion from sex.

SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam St.)
3/3 - 3/29
Opening Night 3/5

3) Dear John

It’s 2011, and a recent college graduate is trying to move out of her mom’s house (with little hope and no prospects) when she receives a message from a mysterious stranger named John on Facebook. Dear John is a solo show based on a true story about what happens when a long-absent father finds his not-quite-adult daughter through a social networking website. Weaving together Facebook DMs, recorded interviews, and anecdotes of growing up undocumented in New York’s Chinatown, Dear John is a coming of age story delightfully told by writer and performer Rachel Lin about the ways we try (and fail) to reach each other, over and over again.

HERE Arts Center (145 6th Ave.) 
3/6 - 3/19
Opening Night 3/8

3/9 - 8/9
Opening Night 4/9

5) Destination

Set in an assisted living facility in Houston, DESTINATION is a deeply moving and hilarious play about love deferred, second chances, and the courage it takes to face life’s unfinished business. Howard Wright, an 83-year-old retired architect and recent widower, spends his days gazing out at the city skyline, trading barbs with his spirited neighbor Gigi, and quietly avoiding the emotional risks he believes are behind him. But when he learns that Caroline, a woman he once loved and never forgot, is engaged to be married, something shifts. With encouragement, Howard impulsively leaves his facility and sets out on a road trip to confront the past, and perhaps rewrite it. What begins as a reckless escape becomes an unexpected journey toward truth, reconciliation, and emotional honesty, not only for Howard, but for everyone connected to him.

Interwoven with Howard’s story is Jennifer’s own reckoning with love, loyalty, and regret, as she confronts the cracks in her marriage and a long-suppressed relationship from her past. As father and daughter grapple with parallel choices about commitment and courage, DESTINATION becomes a poignant exploration of how deeply our unfinished stories shape us, and how it’s never too late to risk vulnerability. Warm, witty, and quietly profound, DESTINATION is a play about aging, forgiveness, and the radical hope that comes with choosing connection over comfort, no matter where the road leads.

Chain Theatre (312 W. 36th St. 4th Fl.)
3/5 - 3/8

6) Dust of Egypt

What could be more timely and timeless than the heroic saga of a young mother's fight to save her only son? Years before her legendary "Ain't I a Woman" speech, the Black activist Sojourner Truth was a young mother determined to rescue her 5-year-old boy Peter after he was sold and illegally taken down South. Dust of Egypt dramatizes this remarkable, little-known true story and its poignant aftermath. At a time when slaves and women had no power or voice, she spoke out and confronted injustice. She became the first Black woman to sue a slave owner in court - and she won. The play explores the price of injustice, faith and forgiveness, resilience and releasing the past. It is a moving story of loss and triumph.

7) Eloise Eftos' First Attractive Comedian

After sold-out seasons and standing ovations across Australia, New Zealand, Edinburgh and London, join Elouise for a very special New York debut of her award-winning hour of comedy as she subverts the meaning of feminism, attractiveness and owning yourself in a world that tells you to hate yourself to be funny.

8) Grey Arias

 

Part music performance, part comedy duel, all play, Grey Arias dismantles easy binaries and invites audiences to live in the uncomfortable in-between. Through virtuosic musical numbers and disarming humor, Truscott and Le Gateau Chocolat upend allyship, cultural interpretation, race, power, and performance itself, all the while wondering: How does one walk the fine line that delineates marginalized perspectives? In this case — in heels.

When Lucy and her two teenage sons move to town in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging. As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a startling reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

10) Otto & Astrid: The Stages Tour


Taylor Swift had Eras. Otto & Astrid go through Stages. Join Berlin’s Prince and Princess of Art Rock and Europop on The Stages Tour, as they thunder through a blisteringly hilarious set of songs from (almost) all of their albums.

A lipstick-smeared sonic collision between The B-52s, The Pixies, Kraftwerk and early Ramones, Otto & Astrid are the dysfunctional sibling duo you didn’t know you needed. Their shows are fast, loud, and strangely heartfelt; their chemistry is impossible to look away from.

11) The Paparazzi

When the only job she can secure is with the New York Beacon - the city's most notorious tabloid - Christie believes it is a temporary stepping stone. However, she is quickly seduced by the high-stakes world of celebrity obsession and star power. As she abandons her princeiples to embrace the lifestule of the paparazzi, she discovers that life in the flashbulbs comes with profound, unseen consequences.

AMT Theater (354 W. 54th St.)

12) States: Observation A Butoh Dance Triology

Rooted in quantum physics, STATES: OBSERVATION examines the idea that reality is probabilistic & undefined until observed. The act of observing a particle’s position, or state, changes the particle IT-Self, altering IT’s momentum & creating uncertainty.


The trilogy contemplates the uncertain fluidity & trajectory of the Self through the fragmentation of identity & memory drawing from personal & collective queer narratives & symbolism as related but not limited to aloneism, outsiderism, compartmentalization, survivalism, and chameleonism, evoking a multiplicity of I-positions, or states: with dancer observing IT-Self like an audience member in 3rd person, as both subject & object; as a particle, the smallest fundamental state in the humyn body, which pops in & out of existence.


A key concept is MA, the Japanese aesthetic of negative space, representing the voids between identity states. MA serves as a bridge in between past & future fragments of the Self, aligning with Zen Buddhist notions of emptiness—not as absence, but as a field of infinite possibility. When the dancer appears to do nothing, IT holds transitional space for IT-Self in between one I-position and the arrival of the next, observing the gap between the conscious & unconscious Self, being led into the next positional state or memory.


I am not a Some Thing because of experience observed. I am because I am IT.


The essence of the 3 works, Origin, Mutation, & Entropy at Absolute Zero, have been sought in the spaces between ideas rather than seeking form through fixed trialed choreography, manifesting IT-Self with improvisation guided by research, narratives, and somatics. They were originally danced guided by vector analyzed site specific staged positions between 2023 and 2025 in NYC Queer Butoh Festival with Vangeline Theatre, Excavate: An NYC Butoh new works in progress festival curated by Scoop, Amsterdam Butoh Festival, & Performatica in Venice, Italy, simultaneous to the 2024 Biennale curated by Hector Canonge. November 2024 a documentary short of Entropy at Absolute Zero by International Butoh Videographer Shimmyo Shuta, was screened at Mana Contemporary hosted by the Jonas Mekas Archives curated by Chihiro Ito. The performance piece was additionally screened at the International Behavioral Art Festival, in Dehradun, India, May 2025.

13) Stewart Huff's Is Anything Okay?


“Radical liberal” comic Stewart Huff is back with Is Anything OK? The liberal viewpoint means his shows “don’t go well” in his home state of Kentucky, but they go down as a treat at Fringe. This laugh-heavy outing from Huff is less concerned with politics and more with people — namely, how stupid we are. We make stuff up, which is fine and artistic, he opines. But then we start to believe it, which is where things go wrong. He tackles religion as theater as he spins yarns about the eccentric characters he has met on his travels.


SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam St.)

14) Tempest Tossed 


TEMPEST TOSSED is a chamber adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, where the play's action is beautifully focused with original music by music director Flavio Gaete, as well as a magical Butoh-inspired movement led by Yoshiko Usemi. The performance creates an immersive island, where Caliban’s mother, the powerful witch Sycorax, finally has a voice, offering a fresh perspective on this story of justice, restoration, freedom, and forgiveness.

15) Trash


Tim and Jake are Deaf roommates sharing an apartment in the city—but not much else. They’re polar opposites, each with very different views on what it means to be Deaf in a hearing world. When it comes to taking out the trash, they spiral into a comic and insightful examination of their personal garbage and their perceptions of each other’s lives. 


Performed almost exclusively in ASL (American Sign Language), Trash employs surprising theatrical devices that allow all audiences to understand the play (and each other) in profoundly new ways. 


PAC NYC, Perleman Performing Arts Center (6 World Trade Ct., 251 Fulton St.)

Opening Night 3/13

Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.

The Fordham Road BID recently completed a Commercial District Needs Assessment (CDNA), which found that approximately 1 in 4 stores along Fordham Road sell sneakers, the highest per capita of sneaker stores anywhere in the world.


The Fordham Road BID, through Chairman David Rose, is providing free parking for guests on a first come, first serve basis.

38) The Royal Ballet Brings Acclaimed Production

of Romeo and Juliet to U.S. Theatres

March 8 and 9 from Fathom Entertainment


Fathom Entertainment and The Royal Ballet are proud to continue bringing world-class ballet productions to theatres nationwide with Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet on March 8 and 9, 2026.

Shakespeare’s great love story is brilliantly retold through this modern ballet classic, celebrating its 60th anniversary this season. The fervent longing of the star-crossed lovers is perfectly captured in this celebrated production. The flourishing of young love is just as present in Romeo and Juliet's meeting on the balcony as in their final moments when they desperately cling to life in the tomb.

 

Prokofiev’s evocative music sets the scene for stolen romantic moments and deadly feuds and sweeps the ballet towards its inevitable and tragic conclusion. Perhaps most recognizable is the “Dance of the Knights,” the music that accompanies the Capulets as they enter the ball in which the two lovers first meet. 


In theatres nationwide Sunday, March 8, and Monday, March 9. Check your local theatre for specific showtimes.

Tickets are available at Fathom Entertainment and participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change).
