Theatre Review: THE BAND’S VISIT Is a Memorable One – Playing Fabulous Fox Through March 8
“Once not long ago, a group of musicians came to Israel from Egypt. You probably didn’t hear about it.

Theatre Review: MOJADA: A MEDEA IN LOS ANGELES Updates Greek Mythology to Modern Times
I’ve always been a fan of modern updates to classic stories. I love Baz Luhrmann’s ROMEO + JULIET with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.
