I’ll admit, I was pretty skeptical about goses. Not to be confused with a geuze, a gose is wheat beer that originated in Goslar Germany and has sat in obscurity for hundreds of years.

If you’ve ever been to a street parade in Rhode Island you’ve probably seen some crazy things – maybe a few roaming ginormous creatures.

This is absurd. Every other issue shows Clinton handily trouncing Trump from national security to healthcare to education. Trump is the anti-regulation messiah […]
True confessions: I love Halloween, but I hate being scared. I refuse to watch horror movies or even general thrillers, so much so that it took four weeks for my friend Jeremy to convince me to watch an episode of Stranger Things. When it comes to paranormal activity, I’d rather be perceived as “gullible” and […]
Marc Blitzstein’s Depression-era pro-union musical The Cradle Will Rock has always held an almost mythical “bad boy” spot in the history of theater, so it was really no surprise to me that the always irrepressible Head Trick Theatre chose to produce this rarely seen script. The play’s pedigree is pretty impressive as it was […]
EPIC Theatre Company’s latest production is a real treat. Bootycandy is directed by EPIC’s artistic director, Kevin Broccoli. The provocative, comical play, which spotlights members of one southern black community’s views toward homosexuality, was written by Robert O’Hara.
