Award-winning actor Jason Woods brings his  Off Broadway show to CRT, taking his audience “on a  magical journey before leaving them at the end, changed for it.” His solo show tells the story of a man, Jasper, while seeking his true family, runs into a blunt witch, a mysterious, talking dragon, and a purpose he never thought he’d find.As Jasper gets closer to the answers he seeks, he must face his fears, an evil queen, his brother Casper’s self obsession, and a heartbreaking path to his own destiny. Written by Woods, who performs all roles himself.




Notably: Ludovico Einaudi is a curiosity: vaguely new age with hints of classical aspirations (Philip Glass’s influence). He can be hypnotic and a bit predictable, but I’ve never found him irritable. I recall a music video he produced for Greenpeace, about melting ice caps, his “Elegy for the Arctic,” which ran here some time back: He supposedly positioned his grand piano in the middle of an ice bay even as ice was crumbling down around him.

After Oswald, men in America are no longer required to lead lives of quiet desperation. You apply for a credit card, buy a handgun, travel through cities, suburbs and shopping malls, anonymous, anonymous, looking for a chance to take a shot at the first putty empty famous face, just to let people know there is someone out there who reads the papers.

–From Don DeLillo’s Libra (2022).
