NYC and Connecticut Theater News and Reviews

  • About

Author: Two on the Aisle

Ever since I saw my first live theater performance -- at the ripe old age of 4 -- I've been hooked,. Since then I've been an avid theater goer and for more than 30 years, a theater critics. I'm a founding member of the Connecticut Critics Circle and a member of the Outer Critics Circle. In addition to a career in journalism, marketing and public relations -- and as a University instructor in those fields -- I have also performed in musicals and cabaret.
