Series review — Doctor Who Series Ten

The latest series of Doctor Who is just over—not counting the Christmas special—and one of the few things I've been able to do as of late was keep up with it, so I can share my thoughts fresh off watching it.

It's Steven Moffat's last run—again, minus one episode, and I'm sure we'll get there when we get there—as well as Peter Capaldi's final round as the Twelfth Doctor. Does it show any sign of change, or even…redemption?

Yeah, okay, let's not even pretend like that last one is a possibility. But change? Definitely.

Spoilers for…pretty much the entire season.

This series felt different to me. Especially compared to the previous one, which relied on two-parters for most of its self-contained stories, this is a major departure. It also felt different from…basically every single season since the start of the reboot. Not better or worse, just…different. Structured differently, to be specific.

That difference in structure comes from the seasonal overarching plot, which is far more defined than…basically any of its predecessors. The RTD era seasons hinted at the bigger plot through offhanded references and arc words (think "bad wolf", "vote Saxon", and planets going missing). The Eleventh Doctor's seasons nearly form a trilogy rather than separate stories, with every instalment trying to pretend that it's self-contained (the cracks in the universe, the Silence, and "the question"). The Twelfth Doctor's been kind of a complete mess for two seasons, focusing more on questions of character than plot. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, although the execution felt botched to me more often than not.

This season, however, has an overarching plot with the introduction of a mysterious "vault" that the Doctor must keep watch over, and his adventures are him basically rebelling against that duty because…well, he's always been a bit of a giant manchild, especially in the hands of a certain writer. Halfway through the season, after foreshadowing about as subtle as massive neon signs, it's revealed that the vault contains Missy, who's still alive (shocking, I know) and has been locked up because the Doctor decided to try and reform her instead of being a participant in her execution.

As a result, structurally, the characters all go back to Earth until the next adventure so the Doctor can keep watch over the vault. It's not a bad idea, and the concept is mostly executed well. The only criticism I have of it is that Nardole, River's sniveling minion from last season's Christmas special who was somehow upgraded to series regular, is constantly berating the Doctor for leaving, because "what would happen if you can't come back?" You'd think this is trying to set up for a consequence late in the season, but when the two-parter finale begins and Missy inevitably gets free, it's…not because of that. At all. But hey, who needs to use the most basic rules of storytelling like setup and payoff when you're a showrunner for the longest-running televised science fiction show on the air, right?

Anywho. This show also features a new companion, since last season was the final run for Clara Oswald. And…this is where the series really hits its biggest problem. Not with the character herself: Bill Potts is an absolute delight. She's a black lesbian who works at the cafeteria of the college the Doctor is teaching at to pass the time while guarding the vault, and she attends his lectures because she's just that intellectually curious, and that's also why he notices her at first. She manages to hit a careful balance of growing fond of the Doctor over implied time-skips between (and sometimes during) episodes while also standing her ground to him. In terms of who she is, she's a great character.

The problem is, main characters (which I would argue the Doctor's companions…you know, are) need an arc. And that means the story needs to have room for them to have arcs.

The plot of this season does not have room for Bill Potts. It doesn't even try to make room for Bill Potts.

It's very sad, because the season opened looking like it would. The first episode sets up a story that could sustain an entire seasonal arc: Bill's girlfriend Heather (whose relationship starts during the episode and is adorable) is used by an alien spaceship's "oil leak" disguised as a puddle to become their "pilot", essentially turning her into a construct made of water that can travel through space (and I assume time?), because Heather dreamed of traveling.

You would think the rest of the season would be spent hinting at Heather, but…no, she's barely even mentioned at all until the finale. More on that in a moment. Instead, the seasonal arc is all about the vault, about the Doctor's story. It makes me sad, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, because after that first episode, most of the speculation was about Heather and the alien puddle.

Not surprising for Moffat-era Doctor Who (again, the Eleventh Doctor's entire run is basically a trilogy about how important he is to the universe and how many people want him out of the picture), but it's definitely the first time that this plot is in direct opposition with the companion's entire existence. At least Amy was connected to the cracks in space and to River, and Clara had echoes across time and space. Bill isn't so lucky.

I want to state the obvious (that it seems very coincidental that the one companion Moffat apparently doesn't know what to do with is also the one he can't have romantically interested in the Doctor at least at one point, or that she's the one companion of color he wrote), but really, I think that would be unfair. I think the issue is more that there was a concept for this story about the Doctor and Missy, and there was no room for a companion at all, but tradition says we have to have a companion. Of course, even I, a person who never watched classic Who, knows that Time Ladies have been companions before and Missy could have been the companion.

It's more than Bill not having a character, though: she very rarely has a chance to even do anything. She's involved in the events (in the premiere, for instance, her girlfriend turns into the alien of the week and goes after her), but often enough, she's not active in those events. She's just there for someone to be amazed at the Doctor.

Okay, there is an exception to that. At the end of the second part of a three-parter story (yes, you read that well) dedicated to a race of aliens called "the Monks", Bill ends up consenting to their invasion of humanity (long story short, don't question it too hard, it semi-makes sense in context), thus creating a world where everyone thinks the Monks have always been their benevolent overlords…except for Bill, who remembers.

This may be reminiscent of the Series 3 finale "Last of the Time Lods", where Martha Jones is similarly isolated in a sort-of alternate timeline where an alien rules the Earth. But that similarity only highlights the fact that, where Martha did most of the job of saving the world (yes, I know it involved restoring the Doctor, but still), Bill…doesn't. In fact, halfway through the third episode of that story, the Doctor is free and in control. While Bill does participate later in that episode, it's purely as 1) a way to raise the stakes when Missy claims her death is the only thing that will break the mind control that the Monks have going on, and 2) a device to stop that mind control without killing her. She is, quite literally, an object in that scene, on par with the Doctor's usual technobabble to solve the problem of the week. Also, it's revealed that that half-episode where she was active? She was following the Doctor's plans and manipulation through Nardole. She couldn't even have that agency left to her.

Even the one episode that's actually about her and her friend's friends looking for a place to live involves her doing surprisingly little to discover anything about what's going on, and it's hard to feel like her contribution was meaningful when she learns the same things as the Doctor, just from a different source. That is not agency, that's just making redundant reveals in your episode, writers.

Thing is, when we get past the fact that Bill Potts is a good character who is criminally underused, the season is…okay, really. Uneven, but okay. I like that we get random lines like "History's a whitewash" as response to the existence of brown people in Regency England, or that we have multiple instances where the Doctor criticizes capitalism throughout the season.

While we're on that subject, some of you might recall my Quantico Season 2 review (but only some, seeing as it got very few views), where I talked about television's reaction to Donald Trump's election and the global rise of fascism. Well…it's hard not to read a similar trend here with the Monks. Not only do they get a three-parter story (technically four, since one of the biggest sources of dramatic tension is that the Doctor was blinded in the episode right before these three), but Bill mentions Trump indirectly (reacting to mentions of "the President" by "he's…orange") and of course the Doctor drops a "fake news" at the end of the third episode. And Trump is referenced again, by name this time, in the series finale.

There's deeper stuff too. The Doctor seems to be a lot more interested in kindness than ever throughout Moffat's run, and while that does lead to some grandiloquent speeches I could have done without, it also translates into his actions. Hell, we even get a repeat of the Series 8 episode "Kill The Moon" (one of the most infuriating episodes I ever got to watch possibly on all of television) where my main issue, the Doctor withholding information, is taken out of the equation.

All that to say, there is progress. I'm sure there's debate to be had about how much is genuine and how much is pandering to the show's audience, but it's there regardless. I'll take what I can get.

And then there is that main plot once again. After a whole series of teasing about the vault the show brings Missy into the picture for that three-parter (albeit still confined in her prison). After that, she's still a presence, and gets the arc that rightfully belongs to a companion. Which is not a criticism of Missy, just a repetition that maybe, just maybe, it would have been better to have her be the companion this season. Just eliminate some of the early filler or move it around and we'd have been fine.

Because that arc…really does work. The Doctor is trying to teach her to be good, and while she points out the flaws in his ethical system, she does appear to be genuine in her attempts. It's an interesting story, and everyone like redemption stories. There was something to be done here.

And this leads us to the two-parts finale, where Missy is taken on her first outing after saving the Doctor (through sheer convenience, let's be honest, since the TARDIS randomly decided to leave him and Bill stranded on Mars, forcing Nardole to get Missy's help). Trouble happens as usual, and it turns out in the cliffhanger the Master is behind it. As in, her previous incarnation.

It looks like they're teaming up, but Missy betrays the Master pretty quickly, showing her inner conflict (as well as the Master hitting on her, because while Moffat managed to resist giving her and the Doctor a romantic relationship, he could only be this restrained). And in the decisive moment, she turns her back on the Master altogether, making a definitive choice to stand with the Doctor and stabbing the Master fatally so he'd regenerate into…well, her.

Of course, this still leads to a few issues—it's still Moffat. So the Master kills her back, because I guess we can't end a story with the Master without him (or in this case her) totally-not-fake-dying. It's sad, because it means the Doctor doesn't even get to find out the choice she made, which would have brought their arc some conclusion. Hell, she could have been shot by the Master but still made it back to him just so they have closure. But no, it's botched at the last second. Oh well.

Another thing the finale does is, of course, end Bill's story. And with that…we really take the shortcut, since Bill has no character arc and therefore no story to end, really—only a loose end to tie up. Specifically, Heather appears out of nowhere, and since Bill has been conveniently killed and turned into a Cyberman, Heather absorbs her into her water construct…puddle…alien…thing. Meaning Steven Moffat managed to write dead lesbians and pass it off as a happy ending anyway, since they are still technically themselves, just without human bodies. Having his cake and eating it too, if you will. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about that, or even if I get a say in how to feel about that at all, so I'll leave it to the lesbian fans to decide for themselves, but I'll confess it doesn't sit right with me.

And finally, the Doctor has been fatally wounded multiple times throughout the finale (after faking a death and regeneration earlier and also foreshadowing the end of the finale in the previous episode, because the show wants you to know this is the end of this Doctor's run, I guess), and yet at the end of it he…refuses to regenerate. I didn't know he could do that, honestly. But it leads to this weird, almost meta moment where he claims he "refuses to change". Maybe I'm projecting, but it really sounded to me like Moffat himself was declaring that the franchise couldn't continue without him. But I could be overreacting. I've been known to do that.

That about concludes all I have to say about this season. It shows progress, even—dare I say—promise for the first time in a long while, and yet it still squanders so much potential, both with its official companion's lack of arc and story, and with its de facto companion's botched conclusion to her arc. And of course the narcissistic obsession with making the Doctor the center of the story and not…you know, the guy who comes along to help, which is what a doctor usually does.

So Doctor Who gets me all hyped up by giving me a openly gay black female companion just to only give her one series? Yeah, fuck her over just like they did Martha Jones! This is why I cannot trust Moffat! Please let this be a rumor!

aily Planet intern Clark Kent takes learning-on-the-job to new extremes when Lobo and Parasite set their sights on Metropolis in Superman: Man of Tomorrow, the next entry in the popular series of DC Universe Movies. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the feature-length animated film will be released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Digital starting August 23, 2020, and on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack and Blu-ray Combo Pack on September 8, 2020.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow will be available on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (USA $39.99 SRP; Canada $44.98 SRP) and Blu-ray Combo Pack (USA $24.98 SRP; Canada $29.98 SRP) as well as on Digital. The 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack features an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc in 4K with HDR, a Blu-ray disc featuring the film in hi-definition, and a digital version of the movie. The Blu-ray Combo Pack features a Blu-ray disc with the film in hi-definition, a DVD with the film in standard definition, and a digital version of the movie.

It’s the dawn of a new age of heroes, and Metropolis has just met its first. But as Daily Planet intern Clark Kent – working alongside reporter Lois Lane – secretly wields his alien powers of flight, super-strength and x-ray vision in the battle for good, there’s even greater trouble on the horizon. Follow the budding hero as he engages in bloody battles with intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo and fights for his life to halt the attack of power-hungry alien Parasite. The world will learn about Superman … but first, Superman must save the world!

Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Darren Criss (Glee, American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace) and Emmy nominee Zachary Quinto (Star Trek franchise, Heroes) lead a star-studded cast as the voices of Superman/Clark Kent and Lex Luthor, respectively. The cast also includes Alexandra Daddario (San Andreas, Baywatch, All My Children) as Lois Lane, Brett Dalton (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as Parasite/Rudy Jones, Ryan Hurst (The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy, Remember the Titans) as Lobo, Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge) as Martian Manhunter, Neil Flynn (The Middle, Scrubs) as Jonathan Kent, Bellamy Young (Scandal, Prodigal Son) as Martha Kent, Cristina Milizia (DC Super Hero Girls) as Maya, Petey & Kaylie, Eugene Byrd (Bones, LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures) as Ron Troupe, April Stewart (South Park) as Mrs. Ross, and Piotr Michael (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle) as Perry White, as well as Cissy Jones (Firewatch) and David Chen (Gotham).

Superman: Man of Tomorrow introduces a new producing vision to the DC Universe Movies series, which now numbers 41 films over its 13 years of existence. Supervising Producer Butch Lukic has a rich pedigree in DC animated productions, serving as producer on Constantine: City of Demons, Justice League Action and the Batman Unlimited franchise, as well as directing episodes of Justice League, Batman Beyond and Beware the Batman. Lukic brings a new visual aesthetic to Superman: Man of Tomorrow that departs from the animation styles – of previous producers Bruce Timm (23 films) and James Tucker (17 films) – thus far represented in the DC Universe Movies.

Chris Palmer (Voltron: Legendary Defender) is the director of Superman: Man of Tomorrow, utilizing a script by Tim Sheridan (The Death of Superman). Producers are Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) and Kimberly S. Moreau (Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Executive Producer is Sam Register.

But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other, like cattle. – Jason Lee • Computer dating is fine, if you’re a computer. – Rita Mae Brown • Dating a new man is like holding a strawberry milkshake; first the taste, then the pleasure. – Marilyn Monroe • Dating is a give and take. If you only see it as “Taking,” you are not getting it. – Henry Cloud • Dating is a place to practice how to relate to other people. – Henry Cloud • Dating is about finding out who you are and who others are. If you show up in a masquerade outfit, neither is going to happen. – Henry Cloud • Dating is just awkward moments and one person wants more than the other. It’s just that constant strangeness. I think it’s a very real thing. – Jason Schwartzman • Dating is like pushing your tray along in a cafeteria. Nothing looks good, but you know you have to pick something by the time you reach the cashier. – Caprice Crane • Dating is pressure and tension. What is a date, really, but a job interview that lasts all night? – Jerry Seinfeld • Dating is primarily a numbers game…. People usually go through a lot of people to find good relationships. That’s just the way it is. – Henry Cloud • Dating is probably the most important aspect of a single person’s life. – Linda Sunshine • Dating is really all about sex. In the conventional context, this means that the man invites the woman to go through a social encounter, the ultimate purpose of which is sexual engagement. – Alexander McCall Smith • Dating now is a lot like going shopping when you don’t have any money. Even if you find the right thing, you can’t do anything about it. – Joshua Harris • Dating should be a part of your life, not your life a part of dating. There is more to life than finding a date. – Henry Cloud • Dodi got a lot of criticism when he began dating Princess Diana. No one seemed to think he was good enough for her. – Lorna Luft • Encourage your children to come to you for counsel with their problems and questions by listening to them every day. Discuss with them such important matters as dating, sex, and other matters affecting their growth and development, and do it early enough so they will not obtain information from questionable sources. – Ezra Taft Benson • Envy is what makes you, when an acquaintance is lustily telling you that she’s dating a Greek god of a guy, ask, ‘Which one, Hades?’ – Gina Barreca • Everyone was like, “Why do you need to meet someone on Match.com?” My response was, “I certainly don’t need to meet more of the same broke, acting class guys that I’d been dating my whole life.” I needed to change that whole paradigm. So, I decided to meet some corporate guys and see how that worked. So, I went on Match, but I didn’t put a picture up, because I’m on television, and I didn’t want anybody contacting me for the wrong reasons. So, I had to do the hunting, as it were. I didn’t anticipate meeting my husband online, but there he was. And it all worked out! – Essence Atkins • Gay men should not adopt the sophomoric model of heterosexual dating; gay men should always have sex first. – John Rechy • Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation, from dating to trial by jury. – Martha Beck • Here’s the funny thing about the response I’ve been aware of to my dating famous people: It’s been very negative. I’m either not good-looking enough, not a good enough actor or not successful enough for these people. – Dax Shepard • Honeymoon: A short period of doting between dating and debting. – Mike Binder • How many of you have ever started dating because you were too lazy to commit a suicide? – Judy Tenuta • I also find it interesting that a lot of people in their 30s are not married and don’t have kids. There are a lot of people in this age bracket that are out there dating and trying to find love. And I never thought that at my age I would be. – John Stamos • I came to the realization that I started dating my now-wife junior year of college, before you actually went on a date. You didn’t take girls from college out to dinner. I’ve never been on a date. I’ve never been on a date where I didn’t know the end game. I’ve never casually dated someone. I’ve only been out to dinner with the woman who would eventually be my wife. – Jon Gabrus • I can’t imagine dating a boy, meeting him only outside the home. What’s a home and family for if it’s not the center of one’s life? – Loretta Young • I can’t wait for my little sisters to start dating, because it will really be fun to pick on their boyfriends. – David Gallagher • I could be a party girl, dating whoever I want and being reckless, but I like being in a relationship. When you have somebody who grounds you and keeps you sane, it helps. – Eva Longoria • I do like dating cynics – they tend to be incredibly funny. – Chris Pine • I don’t have the best dating track record. – Lauren Conrad • I don’t know the first real thing about the dating game. I don’t know how to talk to a specific person and connect. I just think you have to go to person by person and do the best you can with people in general. – Jason Schwartzman • I don’t really comment on my personal life because I feel like any comment at all is opening up a whole can of worms. I’d just rather not talk about who I’m dating. – Josh Hartnett • I don’t think courting and dating is a liability. I actually think it can be a blessing. – Rebecca St. James • I don’t understand the whole dating thing. I know right off the bat if I’m interested in someone, and I don’t want them to waste their money on me and take me out to eat if I know I’m not interested in that person. – Britney Spears • I feel like I’ve always had gay fans, I don’t think my dating a woman has changed my demographic, but it certainly changed the way I feel about politics. – Sia Furler • I got that experience through dating dozens of men for six years after college, getting an entry level magazine job at 21, working in the fiction department at Good Housekeeping and then working as a fashion editor there as well as writing many articles for the magazine. – Judith Krantz • I grew up between the two world wars and received a rather solid general education, the kind middle class children enjoyed in a country whose educational system had its roots dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. – George Andrew Olah • I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad’s sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on. – George Clooney • I have been dating someone that treats my heart like it’s monkey meat. I feel like a delusional, invisible person half the time so I need to learn what it’s like to be treated well before it’s too late for me. – Hannah • I just can’t fathom tweeting, and I’d rather spend my time writing a book than a blog, but I rather grudgingly agreed to a Facebook page. I had a brief, intense romance with Facebook. It’s weirdly addictive, but anything that time-sucking is a danger for a writer who writes as slowly as I do. Now I post only occasionally and nothing very confessional. I think I’m carbon dating myself as I speak. – Debra Dean • I just don’t like when there’s a rumor that says I’m dating someone who is below my standards. But when I got divorced, my ex-wife said I was spending all my time with Lindsay Lohan and Angelina Jolie. I was like, ‘Thank you for the big ups!’ – Marilyn Manson • I knew dating the son of Satan would turn out badly – Darynda Jones • I like the idea of dating, but I’m not dating anyone exclusively, particularly right now. It’s hard to be in a relationship unless you’re ready to go public with it. So it’s a lot easier for me to not be in a relationship. I really don’t want that part of my life to be tabloid fodder. – Cory Monteith • I love being a single mom. But it’s definitely different when you’re dating. – Brooke Burns • I prefer ordinary girls – you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with a girl, it doesn’t mean we are dating. – Leonardo DiCaprio • I started dating older men, and I would fall in love with them. I thought they could teach me about life. – Daphne Zuniga • I stopped dating for six months a year ago. Dating requires a lot of energy and focus. – Daphne Zuniga • I think a man’s dream woman changes as he goes through different stages in his life. I’m fortunate to be dating my dream woman now. – Wissam Al Mana • I think I should date a normal girl. I am tired of dating heroines. While I believe in marriage as an institution, I am also petrified of it. – Shahid Kapoor • I think I’m definitely more open. You know the thing is I wouldn’t have said I was closed before, but like, it’s the kind of thing that you don’t even think of other options. I’ve been dating black men for really, for like, I don’t know, 10 years. You know, I haven’t really dated outside of that. Now I think I’m probably am more open to the idea. – Sanaa Lathan • I think more dating stuff is scheduling. It’s needing people who understand your work schedule. – Jennifer Love Hewitt • I tried to tell them about the dating process because I’m single now and how horrible it is and how many foolish experiences I had had dating. So I was really selling him hard, but the whole time he really wanted me! – Andie MacDowell • I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I’m dating or what drugs I’m on or what club I went to. – Shia LaBeouf • I want to start dating the man that I’m gonna marry. I want to start having some fun with someone that I know I’m gonna be with. I don’t play any games. I’m too old for that. I’ve been there, I’ve been around the block. – LisaRaye McCoy-Misick • I was dating a guy that was a huge wrestling fan and I’m embarrassed to say it now but I used to make fun of him for watching it. – Torrie Wilson • I was dating this guy and we would spend all day text messaging each other. And he thought that he could tell that he liked me more because he actually spelt the word ‘YOU’ and I just put the letter ‘U’. – Kelly Osbourne • I was thrown into the fashion world, dating models – and you’d read about me dating a new starlet every month. That’s just where my life was. But I’ve grown up a lot. – Stephen Dorff • If you want me to be straight, gay, into monkeys, dating Kylie, whatever, I’m happy for people to project whatever onto me! – Darren Hayes • I’m a bad dater – I’m just not good at it. It’s so weird dating in this town. It’s like high school. I get a lot of people who have their publicist call my agent to ask, ‘Is she dating anyone? – Jules Asner • I’m dating a girl who’s pretty levelheaded. She’s a nurse. She’s a real, normal girl. Which is what I need because my life isn’t normal. – Kenny Chesney • I’m dating a homeless woman. It was easier talking her into staying over. – Garry Shandling • I’m dating a woman now who, evidently, is unaware of it. – Garry Shandling • I’m friends with a lot of my exes, but it took time. We didn’t just get into it. I don’t think you can be friends until you’re cool with them dating someone else. That’s when you know. – Rashida Jones • I’m much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they’re dating or what clothes they’re wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life. – Ben Affleck • I’m not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while, there was always the risk of dating someone who’d owned a lunch box with my picture on it. – Shaun Cassidy • I’m not great at dating, but I need to do it to relax. – Lena Dunham • I’m not interested in serial dating; I’d honestly rather be single. – Tamsin Egerton • I’m not very experienced with boys or the whole dating thingy. – Vanessa Hudgens • I’m not with anybody, I don’t have time for dating. Not to get too personal, but it’s weirdly harder to meet new people now. But for the first time in my life since I was a little kid, I’m not so concerned about it. – Justin Vernon • I’m of the belief that dating “potential” is almost always an exercise in frustration. – Mallory Ortberg • I’m so an all-or-nothing person in dating, always. I’m big on not wasting time. And so, yeah, if something’s not working, it’s time to not hold people back. – Ginnifer Goodwin • In its purest form, dating is auditioning for mating (and auditioning means we may or may not get the part). – Joy Browne • Is it a bad sign when someone asks you about the person your dating and a tear falls from your eye as you leap into oncoming traffic? – Dov Davidoff • Is it a bad sign when you see the person you’re dating and get the same feeling as if you just saw police lights in you’re rear view mirror? – Dov Davidoff • It was funny actually because that was still during the time we were dating. He would get all these calls because supposedly before we broke up, we had already broken up in the trades, in the rags or whatever. – Rosario Dawson • It was really shocking to me that when I was dating a dude I could get married and my taxes were 8 grand less, blah blah blah. – Sia Furler • It was V-day and I was stuck at home while the guy I was dating was at an Anti-Valentine’s Day party. How wrong was that? It was one thing to be totally alone on V-day, but another to want to be with someone who would rather spend the evening protesting love instead of making it. – Kate Madison • It’s always been my personal feeling that unless you are married, there is something that is not very dignified about talking about who you are dating. – Luke Wilson • It’s amazing how much time and money can be saved in the world of dating by close attention to detail. A white sock here, a pair of red braces there, a gray slip-on shoe, a swastika, are as often as not all one needs to tell you there’s no point in writing down phone numbers and forking out for expensive lunches because it’s never going to be a runner. – Helen Fielding • It’s so easy to misuse social media as a dating tool. I think it can be useful but it’s scary when you think about who can access this information and what they’re doing with it. – Justin Long • I’ve been dating since I was fifteen. I’m exhausted. Where is he? – Kristin Davis • I’ve been dating younger men since my 20s, When I was 29, I dated someone 21… younger men are just more fun. I like their energy. I’ve always been kind of young for my age. – Dana Delany • I’ve been in plenty of situations where someone I’m dating had more time for a console than me. – Josie Maran • I’ve done a number of studies with speed dating and Match.com and what’s interesting is that you know we still walk into a speed dating event, you know, thinking about what it is we’re looking for in a mate and so you ask people, like women will say “I’m looking for somebody who is really kind and sincere and smart and funny.” – Sheena Iyengar • I’ve had a little bad, bad media luck the new year. Well, apparently I’m dating Bill Clinton, which makes me nervous. I didn’t know, though. – Julie Bowen • I’ve learned that I don’t want to be as open or public about relationships anymore. In my first relationship, I thought I could hold on to the normalcy of just being like “Yeah, we’re dating,” just like if it were high school and I was telling my friends. But in high school, there aren’t articles written everywhere when you break up and you don’t have everyone in the school coming up to you and asking what happened or sharing their opinion with you. It didn’t feel like ours anymore, it felt like everybody else’s. – Camila Cabello • Just because times change and alot of people think that dating multiple people is the thing these days, it just isn’t a solid foundation at all in matters of the heart. I still believe in marriages that have a physically powerful foundation. – Angela Merkel • Like the guy I was dating. White, liberal, educated. I went to meet his family and I think that they probably didn’t know they had a problem with it until he walked in with me. And they definitely had issues. Mom had issues with it. Could not, didn’t want to see her son. And I don’t think she had anything against me. But it was about her son bringing me home. And I felt that for the first time. I was like, ‘Wow, that’s deep.’ It’s really simple: I don’t fit their picture. – Sanaa Lathan • My husband is the only guy I’ve ever dated where I’ve never been drunk around him. I couldn’t handle dating without drinking in the past. – Alison Rosen • My mom always complains about my lack of a boyfriend. Well, next time she asks, I’m going to tell her I’m dating two different guys-Mr Duracell and Mr Energizer. – Michelle Landry • My mom is going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But I don’t want to put myself in the position where I’m in a monogamous relationship right now. I’m not dating just one person. ‘Sex and the City’ changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people. – Lindsay Lohan • My original inspiration was my mom: a few years after the death of my dad, she started dating one my teachers! – Meg Cabot • My philosophy of dating is to just fart right away. – Jenny McCarthy • My wife and I have been together since 1986. I graduated in ’86 and she graduated in ’88. We began dating when she was 17. Actually she turned 18 when we started kissing and stuff. – Cuba Gooding, Jr. • No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu’s mother used to ask, Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry. – Maurice Gibb • Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion. – Scott Adams • Of course, a lot of courtship and dating is about sexual attraction. If you’re an attractive person, you have that sort of interest from people, whether you cater to it or not, but when you get older, that’s not really the leading thing anymore. – Patricia Arquette • Oh, my dating skills are the worst. No, I pick the wrong men; it’s amazing. I am awful, the worst dater. – Paget Brewster • On girls night in we talk about dating; the ups and downs of the previous week. Our collective laughter is uncontrollable and tearful, even the most disappointing dates become meritorious on girls night in. – Cilla Black • On the Hugh Grant romance rumours: We’re not dating and I’m not pregnant. We have not kissed or touched. We have not fought and broken up. – Sandra Bullock • One of my best friends is dating my other best friend, Lena! – Taylor Swift • Pamela Anderson Lee released a statement confirming that she has had her breast implants removed. Doctors say that Pamela is doing fine and that her old implants are now dating Charlie Sheen. – Conan O’Brien • Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That’s who I’m dating. – Ben Affleck • So if I was dating somebody now and the relationship didn’t work out, I’d take that as failing – Gavin DeGraw • Some burns,” Clary said. “Nothing that matters” “Everything that happens to you matters to me.” “Well that certainly explains why you haven’t called me back once. And the last time I saw you, you ran away without telling me why. It’s like dating a ghost.” Jace’s mouth quirked up slightly at the side. “Not exactly. Isabelle actually dated a ghost. She could tell you–” “No,” Clary said. “It was a metaphor. And you know exactly what I mean. – Cassandra Clare • Tess realized one of the great modern dating sadnesses: everyone is so used to the comforting glow of the computer screen that no one can go so far as to say “good morning” in public without being liquored up. – Amelia Gray • That’s the advice I would give to women: Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn’t know. And, more important, how does he treat you? When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You should never feel less than. You should never doubt yourself. – Michelle Obama • The global economy is becoming a place where women are more successful than men, and these economic changes are starting to rapidly affect our culture – what our romantic comedies look like, what our marriages look like, what our dating lives look like, and our new set of superheroes. – Hanna Rosin • The Google algorithm was a significant development. I’ve had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website. – Tim Berners-Lee • The inspiration for this movie [Something New] was this Newsweek article that came out a couple of years ago that talks about 42.4 percent of black women in America aren’t married. Black women are shooting up the corporate ladder way faster than our black male counterparts. And (black men) are either dating outside their race, in jail or dying. And so if you want to have a family, you want to be married, you have to look at other options. – Sanaa Lathan • The learned are not agreed as to the time when the Gospel of John was written; some dating it as early as the year 68, others as late as the year 98; but it is generally conceded to have been written after all the others. – Simon Greenleaf • The love is so powerful that both people have to surrender. I think that’s the funny thing about dating somebody for the first time, it’s kind of a question of who wears the pants, or who’s gonna text you first, how much am I supposed to put myself out there, and it makes you feel a little bit crazy. But at the end of the day, it’s not about that. And if it’s the right person you don’t have to worry about that. – Zella Day • The most difficult part of dating is the initial invitation. – Janell Carroll • The number of people who have either gotten married or had kids or started dating or just made great friends over Instagram is countless. I think we’re the only platform that continues to be successful in bringing people together in real life for these real relationships. – Kevin Systrom • The United States is now relearning an ancient lesson, dating back to the Roman Empire. Brutalizing an enemy only serves to brutalize the army ordered to do it. Torture corrodes the mind of the torturer. – James Risen • The whole dating ritual was different when I was a kid. Girls got pinned, not nailed. – Bill Maher • The woman I am currently crazy about was a vegetarian for a year until I started dating her. As is the case with most vegetarians, she had never eaten properly prepared meat, only commercially packaged or otherwise abused flesh. – Steve Albini • There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. – Judith Martin • There is no golden rule of dating, except to make sure that it engages both of you; too many people go to a cinema for a first date and of course don’t say a word, that’s a bad thing! – Steven Hill • There’s an interesting story around that [“Heaven Without a Gun”], because the girl I was dating at the time got into a bike accident and couldn’t make it into the studio, and the gentleman Dave Hamlin who worked on this record along with Ohad sort of took it, rearranged it. Dave went and sonically changed it and changed the keys so that Andy could sing it better. All these pieces came together that suddenly displayed that the song was meant for Andy [Kim] to sing. And he always said, “I’ll never understand it, but I’ll sing it with all my heart.” – Kevin Drew • There’s no way to get around it; online dating is work. And some people are more skilled at this kind of communication than others. – Rachel Martin • We had two rules growing up in my house: If you’re going to take a shower, do it with whomever you’re dating so you don’t waste water; and if you buy one for yourself, buy six, because everybody’s going to want one. – Moon Unit Zappa • Well, dating has become a sport and not about finding the person you love. – Rashida Jones • Whats nice about my dating life is that I dont have to leave my house. All I have to do is read the paper: Im marrying Richard Gere, dating Daniel Day-Lewis, parading around with John F. Kennedy, Jr., and even Robert De Niro was in there for a day. – Julia Roberts • When I had been dating my husband for a while, the president Obama said to me, “When is he going to put a ring on it?” And I was like, “Oh, come on. We are so busy. We don’t need to think about that.” He said, “He needs to put a ring on it because you’re worth it.” And the thing is, I’m not even kidding you, it was about a week or two later that we got engaged. – Alyssa Mastromonaco • When I met Nathan, I told my tour manager he was too good-looking for me. I don’t have a history of dating good-looking men. I’ve always complained that girls don’t get male groupies, and now I’ve married the first groupie I’ve ever had. – Nina Persson • When I saw music as a means to an end – more fame, more money, dating celebrities – that’s when things have gone terribly wrong. Now my life is focused on just trying to keep making music. Because when it’s really good, it’s just the most remarkable feeling on the planet. – Moby • When someone is good, but it doesn’t seem like their world will collapse if they don’t get the part, it’s more appealing. It’s like dating someone: You don’t want someone who’s too into you. – Steve Carell • While she could hardly fathom what had just happened to her that night, she reached some conclusions before she fell asleep, certain things now made perfect sense; Moon River didn’t sound so syrupy, mistletoe wasn’t such a bad idea, and perhaps dating was not such a frivolous waste of time after all. – E. A. Bucchianeri • With my husband it was never like “omg, should I text him?” or “he didn’t call me for two days.” So, I think I knew it was right because it just happened so naturally. That’s one piece of advice that I would give to women who are struggling in this crazy world of dating. – Lindsay Ellingson • Workshops and seminars are basically financial speed dating for clueless people. – Douglas Coupland • Would a dating service for people on the net be “frowned upon” by DCA? I hope not. But even if it is, don’t let that stop you from notifying me via net mail if you start one. – Richard Stallman • You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he’d be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn’t serious about me at all. So I had him saying one thing to me and my parents telling me something else. – Priscilla Presley • You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if you’re in that relationship and you’re dating, then my advice is, don’t get married. – Michelle Obama • You’re talking to someone who has been married to various people for the last 40 years of her life. Dating is not really something familiar. I’ve never really been a dater. – Stockard Channing

Do You Know How Many People Show Up At American Abstractionists | american abstractionists

“Donald Judd didn’t accept to explain himself. Why do I accept to?” asks Jennie C. Jones, an African American abstruse painter who has grappled with the affair of how her assignment can or should reflect her race. “Fred Sandback can accomplish this admirable band and not accept to accept it actually be a allegory for his cultural identity.”

Continuity to Change: Recent History of American Abstraction | Tower … – american abstractionists | american abstractionists

Jones, 45, sidestepped the debates about multiculturalism that were angry aback she was in academy in the 1980s and gravitated against Minimalism. Yet over the aftermost decade, she has artificial a conceptual articulation in her assignment amid the histories of absorption and of avant-garde applesauce in America—“black guys in the 1950s demography applesauce into the concert anteroom and authoritative it this bluesy amalgam with Bach,” as she puts it.

In her contempo appearance at Sikkema Jenkins in New York, an absonant complete ambiance accompanied her monochromatic paintings that had acoustic panels absorbed to the canvases. Strips of beaming blush corrective on the edges of the canvases bounced off the white walls and created a faculty of movement, rhythm, and vibration. “This art and music juncture,” she says, “gave me the permission to point to article in the allowance that said, ‘I didn’t abatement out of the sky.’”

The contributions of African American artists to the inventions of abstruse painting accept historically been overlooked, or abroad abounding with the affectionate of questions faced by Jones. “Generations of atramentous abstruse painters never assume to be celebrated,” says Valerie Cassel Oliver, chief babysitter at the Abreast Arts Museum Houston, area she afresh organized “Black in the Abstract,” a two-part exhibition that focused on the history of African American painters alive in abstraction. She placed adolescent artists, including Jones, Shinique Smith, and Angel Otero, in chat with associates of the beforehand generation, such as Felrath Hines, Alma Thomas, and Romare Bearden, who were bearing seminal works in the 1960s.

“You acquisition these artists actuality marginalized on both ends of the spectrum,” Cassel Oliver continues. “There was this acclamation with the Atramentous Arts Movement that you did assignment that reflected the adorableness of that association in no ambiguous terms,” she says, apropos to a accumulation that coalesced in the 1960s to beforehand amusing and political assurance in art and literature. “Oftentimes abstruse painting is not as acclaimed as added allegorical assignment by the atramentous community. From the boilerplate art world, it’s aloof the faculty of not actuality absent with what atramentous artists are doing, period.”

The 1960 canvas Strange Land, included in the Houston show, would be bugged to best admirers as a assignment by Bearden. It wasn’t until 1964, aback he started authoritative collages aggressive by the rituals and rhythms of African American life, that he accomplished acclaim. Bearden and his abreast Jacob Lawrence, whose accountable amount was similar, were the best acclaimed African American artists of their time. Their acute portrayals of atramentous families were the affectionate of works abounding anticipation were bare and that they accepted from atramentous artists. Yet Bearden, in his 1946 article “The Negro Artist’s Dilemma,” bristled at the addiction to appraisal assignment by blacks on “sociological rather than esthetic” merits. His all-encompassing analysis with Abstruse Expressionism from 1952 to 1964 has gone about unnoticed. The aboriginal exhibition adherent to this absent decade of his assignment is actuality able by the Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase, New York.

“It took a lot of candor and a lot of adventuresomeness for an African American artisan to be an abstractionist in the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s even,” says Michael Rosenfeld, who organized “Beyond the Spectrum: Absorption in African American Art, 1950–1975” at his Chelsea arcade beforehand this year. The appearance brought calm what Rosenfeld calls the first-generation African American abstruse artists—Charles Alston, Harold Cousins, Beauford Delaney, Norman Lewis, Alma Thomas, and Hale Woodruff—and the additional generation, including Frank Bowling, Edward Clark, Melvin Edwards, Sam Gilliam, Richard Hunt, Al Loving, Howardena Pindell, William T. Williams, and Jack Whitten.

Rosenfeld credibility out that Norman Lewis (1909–79) alternate in the battleground appointment organized in 1950 by Robert Motherwell and Lewis’s acquaintance Ad Reinhardt and captivated at Flat 35 in New York, area the artists present debated what to alarm the new art movement. (Abstract Exressionism was the appellation that eventually prevailed.) Yet Lewis is commonly bare from the anecdotal of this defining moment in American art. The aboriginal absolute overview of his career opens in November 2015 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.

“The African American Abstruse Expressionists are allotment of the aforementioned movement as their white counterparts,” says Rosenfeld, “delving aural themselves and aggravating to accurate article universal.”

While all these artists resisted the accountability to acrylic images that told belief of atramentous experience, best were actual politically engaged. “Witness: Art and Civilian Rights in the Sixties,” on appearance at the Brooklyn Museum through July 6, includes works by several committed abstractionists who begin means to amalgamate their art and activism.

Lewis’s Untitled (Alabama) from 1967 shows a army of absent angular abstracts in white arranged into a bladelike appearance slicing through a atramentous field. The artisan consistently disavowed apparent anecdotal agreeable in his work, but the beheld advancement of hooded Klansmen calm with the appellation acutely alludes to the civilian rights movement.

“Lewis became a alarm for the abutting generation, affective into an abstruse amplitude and saying, ‘I don’t accept to put that accountability of representation on my work,’” says Kellie Jones, cocurator of “Witness” and accessory assistant of art history and archeology at Columbia University. “Somebody like Jack Whitten makes the aforementioned decision.”

The Brooklyn appearance includes Whitten’s Birmingham 1964, in which a bi-weekly photograph of a action in Birmingham is partially appear beneath layers of stocking cobweb and atramentous oil paint, like a anguish that can’t be covered over. The 74-year-old artist, who grew up in Alabama and confused to New York in 1960 as an art student, admired the Abstruse Expressionists, abounding of whom he met at the Cedar Tavern. While Whitten said he acquainted accountability to accomplish assignment about the civilian rights movement in the 1960s—and capital to do so—he fabricated a absolute bound into absorption in 1970.

“If I was activity to get about Bill de Kooning, aboriginal of all I had to go faster than he, and additional of all I had to do article abundant beyond than he,” says Whitten, who created a 12-foot-wide apparatus he alleged the “developer” to annoyance acrylic in a distinct action beyond the absolute account plane. (This was a decade afore Gerhard Richter began his heralded abstruse paintings application a agnate technique.) Whitten, who shows at Alexander Gray Associates in New York, will be the accountable of a above attendant at the Museum of Abreast Art San Diego in September.

As a alum apprentice at Yale in the mid-1960s Howardena Pindell, 71, additionally begin afflatus in the assignment of the beforehand bearing of abstractionists —namely Ad Reinhardt’s paintings of close-value colors and Larry Poons’s Op art canvases of circles and ovals. Throughout the ’70s, Pindell experimented with color, surface, and texture. She cut out hundreds of tiny cardboard dots with a accepted aperture puncher, collaged them assimilate cut-and-quilted canvases, and smothered them in layers of acrylic, dye, sequins, glitter, and powder. One of them, the pale, beaming Untitled #20: Dutch Wives, Circled and Squared (1978), was included in “Black in the Abstract.”

“I bethink activity with my abstruse assignment to the Flat Museum in Harlem, and the administrator at the time said to me, ‘Go city and appearance with the white boys,’” says Pindell, abacus that William T. Williams and Al Loving met with the aforementioned affectionate of response. “We were basically advised traitors because we didn’t do accurately academic work.”

Pindell, who aloof had an exhibition at Garth Greenan in New York, says her acquainted ambition was to analyze the artful possibilities of the amphitheater aback she started on those works. Again she was abashed by a adolescence anamnesis that came aback to her. On a car ride through Kentucky in the 1950s, she and her father, who lived in Philadelphia, chock-full at a root-beer angle and were served mugs with red circles on the bottom.

“I asked my father, ‘What is this red circle?’” she recalls. “He said, ‘That’s because we’re atramentous and we cannot use the aforementioned accoutrement as the whites.’ I accomplished that’s absolutely the agent of my actuality apprenticed to try to change the amphitheater in my mind, aggravating to booty the bite out of that.”

Odili Donald Odita, 48, says that he feels accountable to the chain of the beforehand bearing of atramentous abstruse artists who asserted claimed abandon in the face of an art bazaar that adored cultural and political stereotypes. In the aboriginal 1990s, as a adolescent artisan out of alum academy at Bennington College in Vermont, area he advised the assignment of boilerplate abstruse painters such as Helen Frankenthaler and Kenneth Noland, Odita got a job at Kenkeleba House in New York, endemic by the painter Joe Overstreet, who calm and showed assignment by African American artists. Stunned that he had never heard of these artists, Odita began a activity to account abstruse painters from the 1970s and 1980s, such as Pindell, Loving, Edward Clark, Frank Bowling, and Stanley Whitney. Odita’s analysis grew into a alternation of talks he has accustomed at universities over the years.

“Any affectionate of academic apparatus in the assignment of atramentous artists was apparent as, if not additional rate, again article done the additional time around,” says Odita, acquainted that Clark laid affirmation to authoritative the aboriginal shaped painting—before Frank Stella—and that the king-making art analyzer Clement Greenberg consistently visited Bowling’s flat but never took the befalling to address one chat in abutment of his work. “In the antagonism of the avant garde in avant-garde art, these older-generation African Americans acquainted blank and marginalized in the chase to beforehand art.”

Odita didn’t appetite his own assignment subsumed beneath the accepted anecdotal of Stella and Noland, and all this advice helped him cross his aisle as an abstruse artist. Because his ancestors fled the civilian war in Nigeria aback he was a babyish and acclimatized in Ohio, he grew up with the duality of African traditions at home and American pop ability in school. In 1999, he started authoritative geometric paintings in which shards of active colors askew and adjoin in compositions that beforehand colliding cultures and emotions.

“I capital bodies to analyze the adumbration of Africa with this anatomy and blush and see the patterns of one apple and addition apple blame into the amplitude of the painting,” Odita says. He draws on the palette and designs of African textiles, TV analysis patterns, the Nigerian landscape, and burghal wallpaper in his work, which he shows at Jack Shainman in New York. “If it’s successful, it doesn’t end in that trope. Again bodies alpha agreeable with added things that are occurring—texture, color, the activating of the composition, light, what the amplitude creates, how it relates to your anatomy and mind,” he says.

James Little, 60, additionally has an affection for color, design, and anatomy in his hard-edge abstruse paintings that are acerb afflicted by jazz. “I’ve ample out means of suggesting movement, rhythm, speed, and how to about-face color,” says Little, pointing out that de Kooning and Piet Mondrian were additionally responding anon to jazz. “I acquainted that abstraction, advancing from my background, which was a actual absolute accomplishments in Tennessee, reflected for me the best announcement of abandon and optimism and freedom. I’ve had to do an acclivous action in a lot of means in the art apple on both sides, amidst the blacks and whites, but I’ve aloof absolutely ashore with what I accept in.” His canvas Juju Boogie Woogie (2013) was included in “Black in the Abstract.”

June Kelly, whose arcade represents Little, has noticed a absolute about-face in the art apple at ample against atramentous abstruse painters. “There’s a admirable accumulation of collectors who are added acceptant to the assignment of atramentous abstruse painters now,” says Kelly. “As they apprehend added and look, they see the charge to accessible up their collections. The writings and exhibitions of atramentous historians and curators such as David Driskell, Kellie Jones, Richard J.

Jennie C. Jones is captivated by the ample cardinal of atramentous collectors who are now absorbed in her work. She credits, in part, Flat Museum administrator Thelma Golden, who has organized such shows as “Energy/ Experimentation: Atramentous Artists and Absorption 1964–1980” in 2006.

“Over the aftermost 20 years, she has been absolutely educating atramentous collectors to footfall abroad from absorption on the WPA era,” says Jones, who will accept a abandoned appearance at the Abreast Arts Museum Houston in October. “I accept atramentous collectors today who say, ‘I’ve consistently been in adulation with Russian Constructivism, and now I feel I can accept article abutting to that but reframed in a new context.’”

Ben Platt accepting his award as Best Actor in a musical, in a speech that seemed to reintroduce the concept of 78 rpm

Sam Shepard at La Mama in 1971

It was a year of shocks. In 2017, we got Hurricane Harvey and Harvey Weinstein, indecency in the White House and terror in Times Square. Meryl Streep began the year speaking out against Donald Trump’s bullying and ended the year accused of remaining silent about Harvey Weinstein’s bullying. To many in America, to borrow half of Charles Dickens’ famous phrase, 2017 was the worst of times, an age of foolishness, an epoch of incredulity. And the theater community was far from immune. But it was also far from passive. This was also a year of standing up and speaking out, resisting and persisting. Below are some of the top New York theater news stories of 2017, presented chronologically month by month, including prominent theater people who died. As you’ll see, in many of the months, a different new (or newly renovated) theater building had its ribbon cutting ceremony. Nearly every month, resisters held a protest or a spoof of the White House went viral

JANUARY

The Anti-Inauguration

The story of Inauguration Day becomes almost as much about culture as politics. The list of performers who decline an invitation to perform at official Inauguration ceremonies certainly exceeds the list of those who accept – and several, including Tony winner Jennifer Holliday and Springsteen tribute musicians the B Street Band, first accepted and then, after getting flak for their decision, reverse themselves and withdraw. The theater community in New York and across the country held events signaling resistance but also hope. The Ghostlight Project saw people gather outside theaters in all 50 states – including 50 in New York City, plus Times Square – to shine light, literally, against what many fear is the coming darkness. Other projects include the Concert for America, the Inaugural Ball at HERE, and The Resister Project. Trump imposes a visa ban against citizens of six Muslim-majority nations that complicates international artist exchanges. The order sets off court challenges, and revised orders, throughout the rest of the year; the matter as of this writing is still not fully resolved.

Meryl Streep’s speech at the Golden Globes, January 8, 2017: nd this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kinda gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose.

In accepting the Cecil B. Demille Award at the Golden Globes, Meryl Streep attacks Donald Trump for having made fun of a disabled reporter — “disrespect invites disrespect” — and addresses Trump’s characterization of foreigners as dangerous. “Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. And if we kick ’em all out, you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.” Saturday Night Live used a parody of the musical Chicago to spoof Trump aide Kellyanne Conway’s ambition https://youtu.be/sb9ybImGwkU The non-profit Alliance for Resident Theaters opens a new theater, A.R.T./New York with two performance venues, offering a home — and rental subsidies — to some long-time nomadic companies. Jitney, the first play that August Wilson wrote in his 10-play America Cycle – one for each decade of the 20th century – is the last of his plays to open on Broadway.

Pasek and Paul, the songwriting team behind Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, won an Oscar as lyricists for the best song, from La La Land. “This is dedicated to all the kids who sing in the rain,” Benj Pasek said, holding his trophy, “and all their moms who let them” Jack Viertel, the producer of the Encores concert production of Big River, wrote to the Times theater editors calling the newspaper’s review of the show by Laura Collins-Hughes a “ significant humiliation for the paper, a stunningly amateurish piece of work.” Critics of his action suggest that it is sexist.

Gregg Henry (center) and the company in The Public Theater’s Free Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar

The Public Theater’s production of Julius Caesar depicted a Trump-like figure in the title role, which prompted many protests, and led to some corporations canceling their funding. Shakespeare companies across the country that had no connection to the Public’s production were also the target of angry protests. “Dear Evan Hansen” won best musical and five other awards at the 71st annual Tony Awards, the most of any show. “Oslo” won best play, “Jitney” best play revival, “Hello, Dolly!” best musical revival. Among the highlights of the ceremony was Ben Platt’s Tony acceptance speech: “Don’t waste any time being anyone but yourself because the things that make you strange are the things that make you powerful.” The 2017 Tony Awards broadcast attracts just six million viewers, a sharp decrease from the 8.7 million who watched in 2016. (To be fair, that Hamilton-soaked show had the highest ratings for the Tony broadcast in 15 years.) The Pearl Theatre Co. files for bankruptcy, and is closing after 33 years. https://youtu.be/PQ04sTZ79HQ

Diversity Concerns Prompt ‘Great Comet’ Casting Shakeup

After a social media storm over the musical’s plan to replace Okieriete Onaodowan, Mandy Patinkin declined to assume the lead male role. But Oak has announced he’s still leaving August 13.

It’s a month for immigrants and other foreigners. The Canadian theater company Soulpepper is wrapping up its month-long residence at Signature. The first annual Immigrant Arts in America Summit concluded with a rousing concert and resulted in the formation of an Immigrant Arts Coalition. More than 60 artists, including playwright Annie Baker and director Sam Gold, signed a protest letter to Lincoln Center, trying unsuccessfully to get the cultural institution to cancel a production of the Israeli play “To The End of The Land” as part of the Lincoln Center Festival. They objected to some funding that Israel’s Office of Cultural Affairs in North America gave to this play, an adaptation by two Israeli theater companies of a novel by Israeli novelist David Grossman.

Sara Holdren, new critic at New York

Sara Holdren, a recent graduate of the Yale School of Drama who identifies as a theater director, is hired to be New York Magazine’s new theater critic in July, to replace Jesse Green, who was hired at the New York Times to replace Charles Isherwood. She had written just one professionally published review before she was hired. Lawyers for the actor James Franco sent a cease and desist letter to shut down a two-character play entitled “James Franco and Me” scheduled to run at People’s Improv Theater. Initially, playwright Kevin Broccoli promised to rename the play “_____ and Me” and eliminate all mentions of Franco’s name, but otherwise perform it as is.

Antigone in Ferguson: Dramatizing the Divide between Law Enforcement and Community

SEPTEMBER

The Atlantic hurricane storm season hits hard, with 17 named storms, Harvey causing extensive damage to Texas (wreaking havoc in the Houston theater district), Irma to Florida, and Maria to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has still not recovered.

Lin-Manuel Miranda has been a visible supporter of the recovery efforts in the island of his ancestors, writing an article pleading for Puerto Rican aid, promoting fundraising, organizing a song a la “We Are The World” entitled Almost Like Praying (an allusion to the Maria from “West Side Story”)

When the president attacks San Juan mayor Yulín Cruz for her “poor leadership,” and suggesting that the island’s residents are are not doing enough to help themselves, Miranda goes ballistic, tweeting: “You’re going straight to Hell. No long lines for you. Someone will say, ‘Right this way, sir.’ They’ll clear a path….You’re a congenital liar.”

Miranda then took the logical next step when he visited Puerto Rico in November to deliver care packages: He announced his return to his starring role in Hamilton, in a production in Puerto Rico, scheduled to run from January 8 to 27, 2019 at the University of Puerto Rico’s Teatro UPR

The Great Comet closes, a disappointment to its fans, who ask: Could it have been saved? When Josh Groban left the role of Pierre, the producers hired Okieriete “Oak” Onaodowan to replace him. Sales did not improve, so they hired Mandy Patinkin, who was to return to Broadway after 17 years to star. Some protested, starting online, accusing the producers of insensitivity and worse, for cutting Oak’s tenure short, and replacing a black actor with a white actor. Patinkin withdrew. Low box office receipts convinced the products to pull the plug. There is a lesson here, but different people argue over what it is. Barry Diller kills Pier 55, his $250 million planned futuristic performing arts center near The Highline. The following month, with help from the governor, Diller changes his mind, the project continues. In solidarity with the NFL players who have been “taking knee” during the playing of the National Anthem before football games to protest racism, the cast of “Miss Saigon” kneel during curtain call Audra McDonald enters Theatre Hall of Fame, along with Matthew Broderick, The Public’s Oskar Eustis + 5 In her new memoir, Hillary Clinton writes about the healing power of Broadway: “There’s nothing like a play to make you forget your troubles for a few hours,” they wrote. “In my experience, even a mediocre play can transport you. And show tunes are the best soundtrack for tough times. You think you’re sad? Let’s hear what Fantine from Les Misérables has to say about that!”

Iain Armitage

The first theater critic to become a TV star? (surely the first who’s 8) Iain Armitage, who became one of the best known theater critics in the country when he began at age 5 to post his reviews on YouTube, stars in a TV series that’s a prequel to the Big Bang Theory, entitled “Young Sheldon.”

Dramatizing Dystopia

OCTOBER

The New York Times and the New Yorker write articles alleging that movie producer Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed and assaulted young actress for years with impunity. In the two months since then, the list of women accusing Weinstein has grown to more than 80 — and counting. On October 15, actress Alyssa Milano Tweets: “If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.” In the two months since, almost 50 high-profile men have been fired, resigned or experienced similar professional fallout as a result of accusations of sexual misconduct.

Accused of sexual misconduct: top row, left to right, actor Kevin Spacey, producer Brett Ratner, comedian Louis C.K., actor Dustin Hoffman, and bottom row from left, former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., former “Today” morning co-host Matt Lauer and former “CBS This Morning” co-host Charlie Rose,

It takes two weeks into the #MeToo movement for it to bring down the first prominent figure in the theater industry. In 1986, while they were both in shows on Broadway, Kevin Spacey, then 26, tried to seduce Anthony Rapp, who was then 14 years old, Rapp tells Buzzfeed. Spacey issues a statement that is a non-apology apology, and comes out as a gay man. Ninety-seven theaters in the United Kingdom issue a joint statement on sexual harassment “It is the responsibility of the industry to create and nurture a culture where unacceptable behaviour is swiftly challenged and addressed. …there is no room for sexual harassment or abuse of power in the theatre. Everyone deserves to enjoy a happy, healthy and safe working environment. We will support you to speak out, and we will hear you when you do.” Trump as Lying Theater Critic
