Pouzza Fest 2014

June 16 2014 // Clifton Hanger // Magazine // Features

--Photography by Robert Portnoff. Clifton Hanger hosts Brave New Jams, every Saturday 10-midnight on CJLO.

The fourth edition of the punk music extravaganza known as Pouzza Fest started on a soggy note, with the constant showers cancelling the free outdoor shows. All the rain, and the red light district mixing with the punk atmosphere reminded me of the line in Taxi Driver, "someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets."

My Playwright Sister

June 6 2014 // Sarah Stupar // Magazine // Features

My Playwright Sister, written and performed by Johanna Nutter and James Diamond, directed by Jesse Strong

While this show may not fit some notions of what theatre is, it is captivating nonetheless.
