You might not expect a New York drag queen to transport you into the pages of a 19th-century English novel, but that's precisely what happens in Twisted Olivia: A Meditation on Oliver Twist, a new solo show by Everett Quinton which keeps audiences alternately laughing and spellbound in a parade of wonders.

Really Rosie

In the Second Youth Family Theatre production of the Maurice Sendak-Carole King musical Really Rosie, a cast of young performers brings a gang of rowdy Brooklyn kids to life with a spark and sass that suits their streetwise scrappiness and executes the show's musical numbers with the polish of much more experienced stage performers.
