Having enjoyed last years (Re) Generation Who Doctor Convention, I was eager to once again put my “con-noisseur” skills to work. This year’s convention occurred March 18-20, 2016 in Hunt Valley, MD. As an avid convention attendee, having attended many Doctor Who Conventions over the years including Awesome Con, Chicago TARDIS, Gallifrey One and Visions […]
Miss You Already is a wonderful movie of a friendship that spans decades. Jess (Drew Barrymore) moves from the U.S. to England as a little girl. She is befriended by Milly (Toni Collette). The movie begins with Jess thinking back to her youth, as flashbacks depict the girls as their friendship develops. They shared everything […]
In 1957, painter, Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance) is shown to be a Russian spy who is caught by the CIA. This is a true story. Steven Spielberg who directs and produces the movie wonderfully depicts the Cold War from both the sides of the Americans and the Russians and Communism in East Germany. He shows […]
The hype had been mounting about the sensational “Newsies” soon coming to The National Theatre June 9 – 21st. Its arrival was indeed a hit. As Newsies was based on a 1992 Disney film, the crowd included many nicely dressed children who were excited to visit the theatre. If Disney Theatrical Sponsorship isn’t enough, it […]

Memphis, the Tony Award winning musical rocked and rolled its way into the hearts of DC theatre lovers at the Warner Theatre May 1 & 2. Tony Awards in 2010 included Best Musical, book by Joe DiPietro, and original score by David Bryan. Although inspired by actual events, it tells the fictional story of […]
Next, I visited the Dealers Room which had some amazing items. In addition to the usual t-shirts and BBC licensed souvenirs were some wonderful art pieces as well. My favorite was definitely the Doctor Who Leather Journals crafted by Danielle Gunter at Red Falcon. I was also very impressed by the artist Kelsey Wailes who […]
I was flattered to be asked to review the new Doctor Who Convention, (Re) Generation Who from March 27-29, 2015 in Hunt Valley, MD. I have been teased by friends that I am quite the “con-noisseur”, which deemed me to be perfect for this assignment. I have attended many Doctor Who Conventions over the years […]
Last week I had the privilege of attending a fabulous performance of “Chicago” at the National Theatre. For those unfamiliar with the story, it is about a woman named Roxie Hart who is in prison in the late 1920’s for shooting her lover. This is complicated by the fact that she is a married woman. […]
The curtain opens to a fabulous vaudevillian type song & dance number by the girls in the speakeasy, where our leading man, Jimmy Winter, (Alex Enterline), is celebrating his bachelor party. The rumble is broken up by the Senator Max Evergreen (Benjamin Perez), and his sister Duchess Estonia Dulworh, who heads the “Association of Dry […]
