Come on! Do we really need to explain this week's title? (We'll give you a hint: look at the picture.) Now, on with the listings!

, which 1812 Productions is about to stage. The full quote reads: “For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.” Amen to that! Now, on with the listings!

Yikes! I must not be very good at this gig, because this is the second time since I took up editorial duties last February that I need to apologize to an outstanding cast for my very un-critic-like behavior. I came in late. To a tiny theatre that you enter by walking pretty much on the stage. For whatever reason, I got the theatre location wrong. By about thirty blocks. I made good time, but not great time, and I missed the first five or so minutes of Simpatico Theatre Project's production of Patient A.

This week's quote is from the always-clever, very talented Peter O'Toole (a.k.a. Lawrence of Arabia), who said: "I have no intention of uttering my last words on the stage. Room service and a couple of depraved young women will do me quite nicely for an exit." Now, on with the listings!

It's been nearly a week since I went to see the Arden's production of . And yet I haven't reviewed it until just now. This is for a couple of reasons: (1) I've been insanely busy; (2) I left the program at a friend's, and still don't have it back, so I can't cite actors by name, and would have liked to, so I was hoping that I'd get that program back before I wrote this (but I just found the cast list on the Arden's website, so we're all good); (3) I may have forgotten a little; (4) something happened during the second intermission that made me so angry that I wanted to calm down to prevent this from becoming a sequel to last week's Monday Manners. So let me just say, very quickly, that if you want to leave a play at intermission because you're not enjoying it, that's fine. But if you're going to stand in the aisle, loudly trying to persuade your friends that the play sucks and that they should skip the end and go drinking with you, it's not.

This week's quote made us giggle a bit. It's from Roland Barthes: "For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture." Now, on with the listings! (And sorry about the lack o' listings last week.)

We probably don’t need to explain that quote, but if we do, just know it’s from our first play in the listings. And hey, Philly theatre is back in full swing, now that PLAF is winding down. Now, on with the listings!

Six Flags Great Adventure has gone and scary-upped the park, offering visitors a variety of Halloween-themed rides and shows, in addition to their usual theme park fare.

We're sorry we're late this week, folks. There was just so much good theatre this week that we found ourselves a little overwhelmed, and we needed a moment to handle the excitement.
