Ars Nova

This is more than a theatre house, or just a company, in their words ‘they are NYC’s hub for new talent in theatre, music and comedy early in their professional careers’.  The Artistic Director, Jason, is the great nephew of Frank.  Frank is proud of Jason, and rightly so. Tonight I was there for The Urban Dictionary Plays and they were funny, thoughtful and thoroughly entertaining. I forget inbetween times of visiting Ars Nova how good it all is. So here’s some vocabulary I bet you didn’t know: Humblebrag: A form of self-promo where the promoter is bragging about himself in the context of a humble statement.  Everyone thinks he is a jackass.  Tooth Fairy: That would be what you call a gay dentist.  Olympic Narcolepsy: A seasonal disorder in which you may just fall asleep at random moments due to trying to watch as much of the Olympics as possible the previous night… and for the plays there were 9 more definitions.  Terrific!

  1. Great nephew of Jason. Really does not matter, nephew-great nephew. It is Ars Nova, well described, that is important to the continuing life of the theater.

  2. Was not necessary but thanks for correction. Enjoying all you have to say – memories continue of days gone bye when nyc was my home.
