After this weekend, I'll add @NorthCountryBwy and @MTC_NYC to that list of companies I've seen pulling off impressive shows right now. (I'd also like to add another "f" to where I accidentally typed "of.") Sending support to everyone trying to make performances happen this season

[Jacob Horn @JacobMuses]

Linda Buchwald hits the nail on the head about standing ovations for @TDFNYC. In the last few weeks, I've seen @ShakespeareinDC and @roundaboutnyc pull of great productions that, right now, seem nothing short of miraculous. I'll absolutely stand for that. https://t.co/4eKUWcGQTz

@mcctheater reopened tonight with @Jjbioh's absolutely delightful #NollywoodDreams and it was well worth waiting an extra year and a half for. Bonus points to MCC for leaving notes and masks at each seat - a really lovely touch. Welcome back and congrats to all!

I'm not reviewing quite as often these days, so you could say that covering @AtlanticTheater's Anatomy of a Suicide, which stages three separate timelines simultaneously, is like a form of maximizing. Here's what I thought: https://t.co/SsniUNAjwC.

@AtlanticTheater and @LabTheaterNYC team up for the world premiere of Stephen Adly Guirgis's Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven, an ambitiously complex ensemble piece featuring the playwright's trademark blend of bombast, wit, and empathy. My review:

My latest review is of Dr. Ride's American Beach House at @arsnova, an understated examination of a queer relationship with the impending launch of STS-7 in the background. Read it here: https://t.co/tRJZyaWaHy

In which my summer vacation becomes an extended metaphor for what impressed me most about @betrayalbwy: https://t.co/fVRaqt9TwI.

It's been a big year for @mcctheater, which now caps off the 2018-19 season with Halley Pfeiffer's "Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow." My thoughts on Pfeiffer's take on Checkov, and a few words on the whole season that preceded it: https://t.co/KCv74lfEch

After rewatching the series, I've made the hard decision that the #crazyexgirlfriend spinoff we need most is where it's In Treatment but with Dr. Akopian. Up to @Racheldoesstuff and @alinebmckenna whether it's real Akopes or Dream Ghost but we all know the correct answer is both.

It's practically impossible to write about @sohorep's #Fairview (now in an encore run at @TheatreforaNewA) but I tried anyway. Meanwhile, you shouldn't read a review before seeing Fairview, but if you're going to do that anyway, have at! https://t.co/hRKVNoKv9d

[Jacob Horn @JacobMuses]

Atlantic Theater Company's premiere of The Secret Life of Bees has some real all stars involved on and off stage. How does it all come together? Here's my take: https://t.co/Z6LGn1Mw19

My latest review for @curtainup is of BLKS, a smart new play over at @mcctheater. Give it a read! https://t.co/oTABxipIVG

@fricklibrary And thank YOU - especially tour guides extraordinaire Stephen and Suz - for having us!

Holding things down at the Frick Art Reference Library today! In the reading room, Helen Frick's dogs are painted above a fresco; the card catalogue, no longer in use, remains structurally necessary. In the lobby, some fossil remains are visible in the Indiana Limestone #ohnywknd

[Jacob Horn @JacobMuses]

Went up to the attic at Fifth Ave Presbyterian Church yesterday for #OHNYwknd. The sanctuary's wood structure is housed within the brick exterior of the building, which includes a clocktower. A two-story-high stone weight pulls the clock and has to be re-wound every few weeks.

Lots of fun reflective surfaces to play around with trying to photograph in Lee Bul's @haywardgallery exhibition. Pics can't do most justice but here are some of my faves I came away with.

[Jacob Horn @JacobMuses]

It's not summer in New York without @PublicTheaterNY #ShakespeareinthePark, and I got to write about this season's #Othello for @curtainup: https://t.co/EMHxwXhrO1

@Gothamist Some traffic lights near 1st Ave L are saying "change password" when pedestrian signal starts flashing red, and if anyone can figure out what's up, it's you. Am I hearing wrong/Did the lights get hacked/Are their compromising photos on Twitter/Will I get hit by a car?

[Jacob Horn @JacobMuses]

@Delta I know you've had a tough day with all this weather but flight #DL2993 really needs some love. We've been grounded at ORF for 5 hours, no food or drinks, can't get off the plane, and apparently we've been waiting almost an hour for more fuel. Help? Please?

[Jacob Horn @JacobMuses]

It's Christmas in April over at @IrishRep, which feels right given the weather. Check out my review of #ConorMcPherson's #TheSeafarer for @curtainup here: https://t.co/Xwf9Tz0kir.
