Inis Nua presents the Philly premiere of Once Upon a Bridge in an uneven production that seems afraid to pass judgement on its subject.

Girl from the North Country is a unique theatre piece. At times maddening, beautiful, hilarious and confusing, it is a mixed bag of a show.

A book review for 2024! The Day Before it Rained is a wonderful collection of short stories about life by writer Rich Rubin.
