Peter Michael Marino is bringing his popular stage show Show Up, Kids! to your computer in Show Up, Kids! Online Live!, with live, interactive performances from April 15-18 at 4:00 p.m. EST. Kids from all over the world will feel like they're a part of this groundbreaking interactive live event as they hear their names, offer story suggestions, and are called on to help Pete to put on a real live show. 

This interactive, semi-improvised family show for kids 3-10 years old puts a wildly comedic twist on the traditional kids’ show. When the main attraction doesn’t show up, Pete enlists the help of the kids to provide prompts and control everything from plot to props, characters to costumes, and settings to sound in a one-of-a-kind, 50-minute laugh-fest.

Says Pete, “As soon as lockdown began, we began adapting the show for the screen so it would replicate the same interactive, communal feeling of the stage show. In this digital version, the kids get to see and hear other kids from all over, while still being part of creating a show. During these challenging times, I felt it was vital for kids to connect with other kids, and to get a little lesson in using their imagination to create their own story worlds using regular items in their own homes."

Review: Even If You're Too Busy for Death Himself, Make Time for "Shut UP, Emily Dickinson"

Shut UP, Emily Dickinson Written by Tanya O'Debra Directed by Sara Wolkowitz Presented at Abrons Arts Center 466 Grand Street (at Pitt Street), Manhattan, NYC July 28-August 13, 2022 Tanya O’Debra as Emily Dickinson and Gregg Bellón. Photo by Molly Broxton. Not so long ago, television's Dickinson gave us Emily Dickinson the cool, rebellious, queer, feminist teen. Now, the stage at Abrons Arts Center gives us a new Emily Dickinson, and she is…mostly not those things; but neither is she the austere, reclusive genius of other imaginings. In Tanya O'Debra's wickedly funny Shut UP, Emily Dickinson , the poet would be quite happy if everything could just be how she wants it when she wants it that way; and just because she is correct that she should not be forced to conform to others' ideas of things such as love does not mean that she cannot at the same time be exasperating to those others–to be the kind of person, say, who assumes that her wealthy family's laborers

Review: Telling is Power(ful) in Phenomenal Dark Comedy "FUKT"

Image
FUKT Written by Emma Goldman-Sherman Directed by Janice L. Goldberg Presented by B&C Productions and AND Theatre Company in association with The Tank at The Tank 312 W 36th Street, NYC, Manhattan October 27-November 13, 2022 Julia Mack, Bridget Ann White, and Eileen Sugameli. Photo by Valeria Terranova The set design for FUKT is dominated by a large collage on the back wall that, depending on how one looks at it, could suggest either a flower or a wound; the tension between–and perhaps the simultaneity of–these possibilities provides a useful symbol for the show itself, which powerfully mixes sportive comedy and forthright reckonings with cruelty and abuse and filters it all through self-aware play on the conventions of both solo shows and trauma narratives. Written by Emma Goldman-Sherman, FUKT , bending that fourth wall right from–and even before–its opening moments, finds Emma (Bridget Ann White) running into some difficulties on the opening night of her autobiographical one
