Newell won for Best Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical and Ghee for Best Actor in a Lead Role in a Musical. Both drew huge ovations with acceptance speeches that struck both stirringly emotional and disarmingly funny chords. “Thank you for seeing me, Broadway!” Newell said. “I should not be up here as a queer, nonbinary, fat black lil’ baby from Massachusetts.” She added, “To anyone that thinks they can’t do it, I’m going…

Over the weekend, Max Mara made the most of Sweden’s 18 hours of sunlight per day with an itinerary chock-full of festivities leading up to the country’s Midsummer festival, which kicks off the summer solstice in a memorable way. (Yes, this is the same event shown in the iconic thriller Midsommar, but, rest assured: this particular celebration was anything but scary.) The Italian brand started things off with a welcome dinner on Saturday night hosted on Fjäderholmarna, one of the roughly 30,000 islands that make up the Stockholm archipelago, where the likes of Amy Adams, Demi Moore, and Lily Collins…

Fancy yourself a V-shaped fella?… Yikes. Super awkward way to kick things off. Let’s try that again, shall we?

Or, at the very least, let me do it for you. Just because you’re someone who can benefit from an athletic-fit dress shirt doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a beefy gym rat. It just means you’re not skinny but you’re also not… not skinny. However you define it, just know that there’s an entire sartorial…
There’s something viscerally appealing about nesting dolls. The same holds true, I’d argue, for nesting narratives. Each new layer to the story can either reveal or obscure the capital-t Truth at its center. Sometimes both! As a magazine writer and editor, I’m particularly aware of the difficulties intrinsic to writing about other people’s lives. Nesting doll—or frame—narratives confront that particular anxious itch: in them, the narrators (often writers) disappear for long stretches, or reveal themselves slowly, or crumble under the weight of the stories they’re telling. In my novel, The Mythmakers, a young journalist reads a short story by an…

Before mounting Leopoldstadt, Friedman had backed large-scale plays like The Ferryman and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which also struck Tony gold. “Plays of this scale are under threat right…

However, the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) declined to approve the request May 31 following a public consultation.
