A Promising Lineup
Assessing a theater season before it starts is tricky business because the best you can do is draw conclusions based on what looks good on paper. There’s also the question of just where theater companies are in the planning process.

Ari Fish: Communal Transformation
“I like bad-ass women,” Ari Fish said in a recent interview, “and I want to celebrate them. They just keep on going on, no matter what.” It may be more politic to say, “women who lean in” than bad-ass, but despite her blue-eyed blonde, angelic appearance, Fish does not dissemble. Bad-ass, for this woman artist, is strictly positive. It means someone like herself: doing what you have to do and doing what you want to do with no fear and no apologies.
