When the US Congress allowed the Affordable Care Act subsidies to expire on Dec. 31, 2025, they created a health insurance crisis that could have inspired a plot line for “American Horror Story.” Overnight, millions of Americans saw their premiums expand and rise like mushroom clouds from a nuclear explosion. In an article posted January […]
On January 30, 2026, an estimated 5,000 Rhode Islanders – including students and numerous local businesses – participated in a historic, nationwide strike in an effort to get the tyranny of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) off our streets and out of our neighborhoods. The strike was in direct response to the unjust murders of […]
Okee dokee folks… “Art is fucking political. Always has been, always will be.” I looked for a source to attribute this to but there doesn’t seem to be a definitive person who said it. Doesn’t matter. I studied Art History as part of my art degrees and understand the truth behind this statement. Anyone who […]
As the house lights dimmed on a nearly sold-out crowd of 3,000 at the Providence Performing Arts Center on January 29, the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, silhouetted in silence on stage, anticipated the arrival of singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov at the foreground.

In fact, probably attributed to my lack of knowledge and skill in both realms, I never really cared much about either subject. But when my […]

Not since Oscar and Felix – or Laverne and Shirley – have we cackled so hard at the antics of mismatched roommates bumbling through life. Somehow the Trinity Repertory Company team knew what we needed this season, staging a show that delivers a one-hour-and-40-minute laughfest that cleanses the heaviness of winter and the news cycle […]
Picture this: grief and laughter, absurdity and tenderness coexisting cohesively. Not easy to do, yet Burbage Theatre Company’s production of The Memory of Water adeptly captures this ephemeral equilibrium. Under the expert direction of Lynne Collinson, this revival of Shelagh Stephenson’s reflective comedy lands with a bittersweet bang — funny, fractured, and full of feeling. […]

When she enrolled at Johnson & Wales University, her heart and mind were set on cake decorating — the craft of turning simple ingredients into something celebratory. Chocolate […]
