The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has established a deserved reputation for excellence in the arts – in music, dance and theater. I have blogged on many of these, including Grupo Corpo, Trish Brown Dance and Roman Tragedies.
Brutus absorbs the impact of Antony’s speech at BAM in 2012.
Thoughtful, sometimes even entertaining, the productions have been well worth the time and expense.
This, however was not the case in this fall’s highly-touted New Wave Series, offering instead half-baked exercises in esoteric nonsense. While my sampling is limited, having attended only four evenings, of those four, three were hardly passable – We Have an Anchor, An Enemy of the People & Hans Was Heiri and one – Bodycast – was probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen in New York. 
BAM has taken a turn for the worse, indulging in this directionless, tedious stuff and, to add the insult, changed their ticket policies, almost blackmailing attendees into subscriptions. Bad, BAM. No.
And so we’re thinking of doing something different, perhaps subscribing to another theater or maybe even being more drastic than that.
Now you’re talking.
And then maybe we could get some Sports blogs from the old McP!
Comin’ up!
Wait! – If Kessel (da-leafs) is in dark blue, and NYRs are in white then you’d be thinking of getting seats at ‘The Hanger’ – that’s quite a bold move,.. but bring me when they play de-habs,.. see you on Queen St. eh!
You have an eye for detail. This is true.
The “Mr. Sub” is a bit of a giveaway too.
McPhedran – what is your computer’s time set to,.? because as I sit here you have managed to put out replies prior to EST,.. you cleaver New Yorkers are always so far ahead of the rest of us,.. 😉
