My Playwright Sister

June 6 2014 // Sarah Stupar // Magazine // Features

My Playwright Sister, written and performed by Johanna Nutter and James Diamond, directed by Jesse Strong

Sometimes I see shows so amazing that they make me want to quit acting altogether, because how could I ever do something that honest, that open or that true? Of course, My Playwright Sister isn't necessarily straight theatre, and Johanna Nutter and James Diamond aren't acting per se. While this show may not fit some notions of what theatre is, it is captivating nonetheless.

The Bunny the Bear - Food Chain

June 2 2014 // Craig Carestia // Magazine // Music Reviews

Victory Records veterans The Bunny the Bear bring on the weird for their fifth studio album, Food Chain. As with previous albums, Matthew "The Bunny" Tybor takes on the lion's share—or "bunny's share"—of the songwriting responsibilities.
