NYX is a gritty, intense, character study that dives deep into the psyche of the main character.
Charlotte Kaseta delivers a mesmerizing performance that is both heartbreaking and disturbing.

Not knowing what will come next, we feel safe in the hands of our guide, who cleverly includes the audience in every step of the j...

I love this show! Not only a beautiful, mesmerizing performance by Laural Meade, this show is very funny and a loving tribute to vaudeville legend Sophie Tucker. Fred Cassidy, on piano, plays opposite Laural with musical charm and witty repartee. Laural has a natural, masterful, ability to work the audience and include us in the show, giving us a shared, electrifying live theater experience. ...

A personal, thoughtful, honest and humorous examination of Ross's own experience growing up, learning about women, sex, love, what it means to be a man and how we are shaped, either by nurture or nature, and ultimately responsible for our own life despite the multitude of influences we encounter along the way. ...
