A Game Night Like Never Before: ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ at The Maltz’s Island Theatre
I’ll admit it: as I walked into The Island Theatre at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, maybe I was a little afraid of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? After all, I had already heard so much about this snappy, sharp-edged exploration of the facades people put forth—both to those around them, and sometimes even to themselves. The award-winning 1962 play, penned by Edward Albee and directed here by J. Barry Lewis, has received critical acclaim spanning decades. The story has even inspired multiple stage adaptations, as well as a 1966 film adaptation starring a real-life married couple who certainly knew a thing or two about tumultuous relationships themselves—Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. All of this is to say, I wondered whether Virginia Woolf would live up to everything I had heard about, whether I would enjoy it as much as so many other theatergoers have. Needless to say, I had nothing to fear—The Island Theatre’s production of this iconic play had me utterly captivated from the very first line!

But as a writer, I’m always curious about word derivations – especially colorful ones like this. I discovered the term originated in the 17th century when armies kept gunpowder in reserve to fire guns and canons at a moment’s notice. The powder needed to be kept “dry” to be effective.

Darkness, Light, and Glory: ‘Les Misérables’ Triumphs at the Kravis Center
The Kravis Center has had a relentlessly fantastic Broadway lineup for its 2024-2025 season, and the one currently making all the local headlines in Palm Beach County is Les Misérables, a darling favorite for lovers of musical theater. Having been a fan of this show for many years, this was actually my first time getting to see Les Mis as a Broadway production, so I knew it was one I couldn’t miss. Even though I wasn’t feeling my best, I knew red, the blood of angry men, would brighten me up, and I was greeted with a show of the greatest level of production quality one can reach.
