Theater in the Now: Review: Great Feminism Survives In Absurdity
Theater in the Now: Review: Great Feminism Survives In Absurdity: By Ed Malin Sometimes it’s not just the words, it’s how they slap you that leaves a lasting impression. The witty and enigmatic Kim Katzbe...
"Hot for Feminist Theory Professor" is coming!
ALERT! "Hot for Feminist Theory Professor," my first full-length comedic play in 6 years, is coming!
Written and performed by Kim Katzberg and Tom X. Chao – a true collaboration!
Directed by Christian Amato.
SYNOPSIS
At the College of Low Hills, one-of-a-kind Women’s Studies instructor Professor Losstt-Keyes yearns for a partnership, but also struggles to keep her independence in a world where women feel more threatened than ever by unenlightened men. She meets lonely Dennis Quan of the Office of Pedagogy and Learning (who is only slightly unenlightened), and the two battle for dominance and respect in ways hilarious, unexpected, and even poignant.
Award-winning writer-performer Kim Katzberg (STRAYS, TERRY: RECOVERING PET DETECTIVE) reunites with theater veteran Tom X. Chao (CALLOUS CAD, CATS CAN SEE THE DEVIL) for his first new piece in 5 years.

Things I Haven't Experienced in New York City Even After 20 Years
In just a few days, on August 30, 2014, I'll have lived in New York City for 20 years. 20 years! The anniversary weighs upon me heavily. I've lived in NYC far longer than any other place in my life.
What have I accomplished? Possibly the fact that I've managed to live in only in Manhattan the entire time represents the greatest accomplishment of my life.
Rather than try to identify accomplishments, I've listed some things I've failed to motivate myself into doing even after 20 years.
Things I Haven't Experienced in New York City Even After 20 Years
- The Metropolitan Opera
- Skating at Rockefeller Center ice rink (or any other ice rink)
- Bronx Zoo
- Boating in Central Park
- Ellis Island (I have been to the Statue of Liberty perhaps only once.)
- Bargemusic
- Bronx Botanical Gardens (Is that what it's called?)
- Saturday Night Live broadcast (and many other shows that tape here)
- Nobu, Bouley, and many other well-established restaurants
- Jets or Giants NFL game (or any college football game)
- NJ Nets/Brooklyn Nets game
- The Cyclone rollercoaster at Coney Island
- "Cats" or "Phantom of the Opera" or other long-running Broadway shows
Regional trips I haven't made
- The Hamptons (or anywhere on Long Island)
- Six Flags in Jackson, NJ
- Atlantic City
- Philadelphia
- Baltimore
NOTICE: Closing down my Posterous spaces in anticipation of 4/30 shutdown
Owing to Posterous' impending shutdown on April 30, 2013, I am now forced to migrate my online photo posting to a different service. I will be using Flickr for the moment. http://www.flickr.com/photos/txc/
Needless to say, I'm very angry about Posterous shutting down.
