Six the Musical
Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorce, beheaded, survived. We all know the rhyme, and the tale that goes with it. A man - or in this case, King Henry VIII - meets a pretty girl, finds her attractive, pursues her, and wins her heart. But when something goes wrong, he gets rid of her by any method he sees fit, whether by divorce or death. That’s all these women seem to be known for - and in Six, they think so too. This musical is a chance for the royal wives to explain their stories, with a few twists of course. They see this as a way for everyone to see their side of the story, and get the audience to understand their point of view. Through the entire show, the queens outdo each other in musical numbers, in a competition to see who put up with the “biggest load of crap” while married to Henry. What has historians scratching their heads, though, is that Henry (by all accounts) was very tender to his wives, and addressed them as "sweetheart” often. It’s well-known that he was very generous, and his wives were given huge settlements of land and jewels. It was also documented that he was immensely considerate when they were pregnant, making sure they had everything they needed. This contradiction is what shocks historians, and anyone in love with history - that once the King had fallen out of love, he just cut his wives off completely and got rid of them.

"Adjust The Procedure"
"Adjust The Procedure' Robert Massimi. Member Dramatists Guild and The Drama League. Many of the current virtual plays being produced are thrown together and seem willy nilly, however, " Adjust The Procedure" was written for and directed for virtual theater. In its efforts, Jake Shore makes better work of it than the virtual as usual style I have seen so far. Set on a university campus somewhere in lower Manhattan, New York (the play mentions Chamber Street); there are four characters, all of whom are affiliated with the university. These four characters have different personalities which adds to the many different positions that they take. The play is set in Zoom meetings with sometimes two characters, other times three actors and for a brief period, with all four being on the call. The crux of the play shows us the inner workings of a university; how universities are a very big business. With the Covid pandemic, we see four different points of view as how to deal with the many problems this pandemic has caused.

Can You Still Watch?
Before social media was the juggernaut that it is now and before ‘influencer’ became a career. Before the term, ‘celebrity' could be adopted by a person who had appeared as themselves on a middling reality show and gained a following of thousands or even millions and, as such, felt the need to feed their notoriety, a career in the public eye would only be derailed by a salacious story in print media.

Every Reason Why
Today was the day! Pete could barely keep his nerves about himself as he kissed his beautiful wife Lillian goodbye this morning. Five years, seven months, and 3 days she had worn that fake ring. Every time he looked at it, he hated it a little bit more. She deserved something better, but this was all he could afford back then. He couldn’t help but think back to that day, the most bittersweet of all his memories.

Cobra Kai Musings
Now that we have several seasons of “Cobra Kai” to view and analyze there are even more questions that arise. Firstly, let’s address something that irks me every time I hear it. The joy, amazement a wonder that people project when they talk about Daniel LaRusso being a two time All Valley Karate champ. Yes, that is great that he won back to back tournaments but he wasn’t the only one. How about the guy who one back to back All Valleys just prior to Daniel? His name? Johnny Lawrence. Yes, Johnny meets Daniel in the finals as the defending champ. Yet, somehow, the committee and even Daniel seem to have forgotten this fact. They are equal in trophies. Daniel didn’t have a chance to come back a third time to defend as he aged out of the under 18 requirement. This shows that Johnny was actually younger than Daniel when he won his first All Valley.
