Dan Gordon’s Stage Adaptation of ‘TERMS OF ENDEARMENT’ by Curtain Call Playhouse Sets Off a Live Wire of Passion, Anger, and Devotion
There’s a reason why some stories become timeless classics. They tend to feature truths about the human condition that resonate anew for each generation. Pulitzer-prize-winning author Larry McMurtry’s novel about an intense, difficult yet devoted mother-daughter relationship, marital troubles, and issues with lovers called TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, became a literary sensation in 1975.

Beware of hysterical alien invasions! Latiné Theater Lab’s scintillating sci-fi satire, ‘LAST OF THE RED HOT ROBOTS,’ blasts off at Empire Stage
Nothing beats seeing a brand-new show by a brand-new theater company where you haven’t a clue (really) about what to expect and are completely blown away! I was instantly, and repeatedly, delighted and astonished during the entire 90-minute (no intermission) flashy space opera and lifestyle-parody show that’s out-of-this-world (literally and figuratively) creative, futuristic, and riotously funny while keeping satirically grounded in the inanities of contemporary life – especially the youth culture of Gen Z.
