The Foibles of Sexual Identity

" Ah, the fluidity of human sexuality. The ease with which some of us pass from orientation to orientation without the slightest desire for good, old-fashioned fixity of preference speaks volumes about the fallacy of a set identity. Not only does Dan Rothenberg's one-man show, "Regretrosexual", proffer us with the best theater title in decades; it also presents us with an engaging, light-hearted exploration of the one thing most of us take too seriously: sexual orientation.

StarCrossed at the Phoenix Theater

Restoring Novelty to the Prequel

By Nirmala Nataraj (05/27/2005)

" Face it -- most prequels are, by definition, passé. Case in point: the glossy histrionics of the "Star Wars " "episodes," which are surprisingly tedious in comparison to their technologically impaired predecessors. Wrestling with a tried and true formula is a risky venture, and most of the folks who do so usually end up regurgitating pallid, albeit beefed-up versions of the original rather than stuff that makes us stir in our seats with interest. Not so with director Jeffrey Hartgraves' production of "StarCrossed", a clever piece penned by award-winning playwright Sharyn Shipley. "
