A Rebellious Romance: A Defense of Girly Narratives

Last updated on: March 20, 2018 at 3:18 pm By Emily C. A. Snyder

In my other life, I review Classical theatre in New York City. This past weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing Much Ado About Nothing and Trojan Women: two opposing plays, indeed! Except… Are they really all that different? One has a disgraced woman being given back in marriage to her abuser. And the other is The Trojan Women. Two Stories, Both Alike In-Dignity In Trojan Women, originally by Euripides, and here adapted by Charles Mee, the survivors of the... Read more

THROUGH CHILDREN’S EYES: A Wrinkle in Time

Last updated on: March 18, 2018 at 10:55 am By Emily C. A. Snyder

Now that you’ve gotten my in-depth analysis of A Wrinkle in Time, what does the actual, intended audience think? Welcome Deede Bergeron’s review! I am a teacher. I purposely put on the lens of how this would be seen through a child’s eyes who may not have been exposed to the book yet. And just by chance, I sat next to a current student in the movie theater (age 7) and was able to observe and ask her opinion. I... Read more

LONGING FOR HOME: Being Irish in America

Last updated on: March 17, 2018 at 9:48 pm By Emily C. A. Snyder

There’s something about growing up Irish American that settles deep in your bones. I don’t know when I first heard the bodhrán , but there was something in hearing that instrument that thrummed inside me in the way that Ravel and Mozart and even Andrew Lloyd Webber didn’t. It was primal. It meant I had to tap my toes. And I’m from New England, or that part of New England that takes the England part very seriously. I once saw... Read more

IN DEPTH ANALYSIS: A Wrinkle in Time

Last updated on: April 17, 2018 at 2:09 am By Emily C. A. Snyder

The road to mediocrity is paved with good intentions. Disney’s latest empowerment sci-fi adventure film is, alas, a monument to good intentions (diversity! ladies in charge!) which nevertheless results in a lot of “…sound and fury/Signifying nothing.” So, let’s break down what happened on-screen and off to put a wrinkle in A Wrinkle in Time. Diversity Matters Much like the well-received Wonderwoman and Black Panther movies, A Wrinkle in Time boasts a diverse cast and crew, in this case not... Read more

Dating in a #MeToo World

Last updated on: March 14, 2018 at 2:57 am By Emily C. A. Snyder

“Hey, beautiful.” I scowled at my phone. Another day, another cut and paste come on. I picked up my phone and wrote back: “Ah! The common effluvia of the disinterested salutation.” A few minutes passed. From the stranger: “So, what u up to?” I didn’t respond.

The Problematic “Mike Pence Rule”

Last updated on: March 14, 2018 at 3:03 am By Emily C. A. Snyder

A Saturday evening play. A beautiful young woman walks up to the dashing male playwright, who also happens to be starring as the lead in his own show. The woman gives the man her card, and asks him out for coffee to discuss theatre. Later that night, while the cast and crew unwinds at the bar, the playwright looks in puzzlement at the card. Turning to his friend, a fellow female playwright, he says: “I can never tell when they’re... Read more
