TemptationsHere are some pieces I’ve written elsewhere in the last couple of months:

  • A little thing for the Washington Post Express about the choreography of the new musical on the Temptations.
  • My first piece in TV Guide, advancing the standalone finale of the Netflix series “Sense8.”
  • A feature about Dom Flemons’ new album about black cowboys for Folkways, as part of the label’s 70th anniversary.
  • A review of a world premiere play about a Pride Weekend gender switch.
  • A story about an innovative exhibit of silhouettes old and new at the National Portrait Gallery for SmithsonianMagazine.com.
  • A story about the roots of Prohibition, and a new docuseries about it.
  • A Q&A with the set designer of “Hamilton,” David Korins.
  • A look at a new show at the African Art Museum on the work of the Swahili coast.
  • A review of a couple of ballets from the Ballet Nacional de Cuba at the Kennedy Center.
  • A blurb about a new compilation album of bands whose member work at a coffee franchise, for Vinyl District.
  • A review of a thriller by a Canadian playwright at Spooky Action Theater.
  • A notice of a theater company’s production of “The Rite of Spring” that is more of a dance performance.
  • And while my music reviews for Vinyl District have also appeared here, this one of David Byrne came with some great pix on that site.
