This week's session: can criticism ever be truly objective, or is it always someone's subjectivity wearing a neutral coat? Our cohort took apart a restaurant review and an old celebrity profile to find out. 📸

Meet our new cohort! This group just started the Lab's ten-week program, learning what their criticism will be and why it matters.

Grateful to @PublicTheaterNY and @TheOldGlobe for hosting this season. 📸

Jose Solís wasn't a big fan of medical dramas when he turned on HBO Max's 'The Pitt.' But not only did it hold his attention through 104° fever and extreme fatigue, he found himself deeply consoled by it as well. https://t.co/ufwaBd7Z6e
