(Review of Into the Woods at Hamilton Theatre Incorporated. Originally published by Mayday Magazine, December 2009.)

On Love and Eating — November 2009
(Originally published by Mayday Magazine, November 2009) After the month of October being largely devoted to selfishness and deceit (trick or treat!), it was a breath of fresh air for me to sit back and think about relationships.
