New Year’s Eve is a magical time. It’s the one night of the year where people who are normally careful, rational, and fully aware of consequences collectively decide:“Tonight? Tonight, the rules are different.” They are not. As a personal injury lawyer, I can tell you that New Year’s Eve is less champagne and confetti and more emergency rooms

The box of ornaments comes down from the attic with the energy of an aging prizefighter. It knows this is its one bout of the year. It knows you will open it no matter how much dust has accumulated. It knows you will whisper a small prayer that nothing inside has shattered, even though you

Thanksgiving, at its core, is a holiday built on an ancient and sacred ritual: gathering with the people who know exactly how to push your buttons, then attempting – heroically – to act like your blood pressure isn’t rising like bread dough left too close to the oven. But beneath all the gravy-drenched chaos, there’s

There are two kinds of leaders in the world:those who float around in a bubble and those who get shoved out a tower window, discover gravity is optional, and decide to rewrite the laws of physics on the way down. If you’ve seen the new Wicked movie, you know exactly which is which. Glinda is the sparkle-tinged

Time slows. Metal folds. Your playlist doesn’t. And before the smoke clears, your phone’s already buzzing –

(How to Lose Yourself Just Enough to Find the Truth) The courtroom is a stage that denies it’s a stage.The script insists it’s nonfiction.The actors swear under oath. But make no mistake: the trial is theatre – sacred, structured, and dangerous. The bailiff calls “All rise,” and we do, obediently, as though waiting for the

The night I attended The Book of Mormon was not just another show on Broadway. It was a milestone, a celebration, and a farewell. This particular performance marked the final bows for Cody Jamison Strand, Keziah John-Paul, PJ Adzima, and Lewis Cleale – with Cleale closing an incredible fourteen-year chapter as an original cast member in the role of Joseph Smith

This production of Waiting for Godot arrived at a moment of personal resonance for me. It is one of my favorite plays. I often write in the absurdist tradition (my piece Funeral of god springs from that same space of uncertainty and strange humor) so I came with both affection and expectation. What I found was a

The Broadway production of The Great Gatsby is a dazzling and heartfelt reimagining of Fitzgerald’s classic, blending roaring-twenties glamour with timeless emotional truth. I saw the show on October 19, 2025, and it was a night of remarkable performances, lush design, and surprising intimacy. While audiences eagerly anticipate Jeremy Jordan’s return to the role of Jay Gatsby, Ryan
