This Week

A review of Boom Arts’ production of Rodrigo García’s I’d Rather Goya Robbed Me of My Sleep Than Some Other Son of A B*tch

A discussion with actor and Theatre Vertigo Producing Artist Shawna Nordman

The art museum is a civilized place. The theatre is also a civilized place. Be quiet, pay attention, think about important and grave things. Yes. Do all of that. Until the pigs show up. Then rid yourself of those 20th-century notions of art and let the fun begin. Eric and James report this week on what happens when the boutiquey Boom Arts lets the animals loose on stage for their latest import. James squeals with delight, and the pair actually stay for a talk back…and even try to participate! Then stay tuned for a chat session with Vertigo Theatre Producing Artist Shawna Nordman, who is currently powering the stage with her performance as Dora in the ensemble’s production of The Sexual Neuroses of Our Parents. We learn a great deal about this unique company and the fascinating people and methods within it.
