The Loeb Mainstage, Oct. 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, Nov. 1

At first, everything seems perfectly simple in the world of The Hyacinth Macaw. A small white house stands in the background, adorned with storm windows, a small red door, laundry hanging limply from a line. The set opens on a kitchen [...]

One person alone couldn’t possibly cover the entire arts scene on his or her own. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of people who are willing to go to shows that I can’t make it to. Below, a friend’s impressions of Mnemonic, which opened this weekend at the NCT.

It’s hump day, which means I’m already looking forward to the weekend. This weekend is particularly exciting from an arts perspective, as theater season is finally upon us!

Art shows can make me nervous.

Which is why the Faculty Art Show at the Carpenter Center was a particularly pleasant surprise, as it combined [...]

Thursday night, I caught part of Sara Jobin’s opera workshop at the Office for the Arts. Jobin, who graduated from graduated from Harvard in ‘91, became the first-ever female conductor of the San Francisco Opera in 2004. For such an impressive achievement, in person Jobin is remarkably accessible. The workshop she led was characterized by [...]
“A Spirit Moved” Seamus Heaney Poetry Reading

Note to self: Tickets for free public events in Sanders Theater sell out quickly. Tickets for events featuring Nobel Laureates vanish practically overnight.
“I’m sorry,” the woman behind the glass box office window told me. “Tickets for the Heaney reading have been sold out for weeks.” She didn’t need to say obviously outloud; her glance and [...]
