A gang of criminals under the leadership of Polyxena have gathered at her bar in the lead up to an impending heist. A stranger named Mikey drinks at the bar and arouses the suspicions of the crooks. Brooklyn, the brash, foul-mouthed, and increasingly erratic technical expert attempts to seduce Mikey to determine if he’s an undercover cop, or simply some schmuck in the wrong place at the wrong time. The third gang member, who goes by the moniker Soccer Mom, arrives with a very young new girlfriend in tow. When Brooklyn takes Mikey off to a hotel room, Soccer Mom convinces Polyxena to replace Brooklyn in the criminal string due to Brooklyn’s reckless behavior and substance abuse. Her new partner, Katie, it turns out, is a criminal, too, with the same skill set as Brooklyn. Written by Michael R. McGuire Directed by Sophia Menconi Produced by A. J.

At the time, we didn’t know what zoom was or how we could use it. Would people even know how to use it? How much would it cost? And what the heck is a virtual background? We had so many questions, but we watched all of our productions canceled in those horrible first days of Spring 2020. We didn’t have to create a “season” of plays; we could choose any plays we wanted to do. It gave us a kind of freedom to select the best work we can find without appeasing a particular audience. We choose the plays, cast the roles, then we find an audience. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/qplayers/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/qplayers/support

When Brooklyn borough president, Eric Adams, was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, he refused to resign himself to a life of medication and mere symptom management. Putting on his ex-cop detective hat, he dug deep for root cause solutions and discovered Whole Food Plant Based nutrition. A couple months into this new diet, his diabetes was reversed, including vision loss! Since then, Eric is on a mission to bring the power of food as healing medicine to Brooklyn and New York City residents. In this inspiring episode, Eric shares his journey overcoming diabetes and why he is now a passionate advocate of plant-based nutrition for the health of our bodies and our planet. You can learn more Eric and his story here. For the past three decades, Eric L. Adams has served the residents of Brooklyn as borough president, state senator, police officer, and coalition builder. In November of 2017, he was reelected for a second term to represent all of Brooklyn as borough president. Born in Brownsville and educated in the City’s public school system, Eric is committed to ensuring Brooklyn’s bright future by helping each and every Brooklynite reach his or her full potential. Eric has worked to make the popularity of Brooklyn’s brand translate into prosperity for the over 2.6 million Brooklynites that call the borough home. He is a big believer in the power of connections, of bringing together people in need of services with resources that have long existed but have been underutilized. As a legislator, Eric’s record in the New York State Senate was one that underscored his strong commitment to the rights of those from every walk of life, including protecting the right to privacy, supporting marriage equality, defending a woman’s right to choose, as well as fighting for students’ rights, workers’ rights, and animal rights. His work involved efforts to prevent racial profiling, gender discrimination, domestic violence, and elder abuse.

Brooklyn Mack is originally from South Carolina, and is a dancer with The Washington Ballet. He began his dance training at age 12 with the Pavlovich Dance School under Radenko Pavlovich and Milena Leben before receiving a scholarship to study at the Kirov Academy of Ballet. Brooklyn then apprenticed with the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago and later joined American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company. Before joining The Washington Ballet, Brooklyn spent three seasons as a principal dancer with Orlando Ballet. He has performed internationally in Venezuela, Latvia, Japan, and many others. He has won many awards and medals, including the gold medal at the legendary International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria, the oldest ballet competition in the world. He was one of only three Americans ever to win. Most recently, Brooklyn was featured in Ebony Magazine, the Grio’s Top 100, and was named as a top “25 [dancers] to watch” by Dance Magazine. In 2015, Brooklyn and Misty Copeland made history at the Kennedy Center in D.C. as the first two African-American leads in a major production of Swan Lake. Notes from the show: Brooklyn has always danced, but discovered ballet at 12 years old. Growing up in South Carolina, there were lots of stereotypes and misconceptions about ballet and male ballet dancers. At an annual gala, he was blown away by the athleticism of the ballet dancers. Brooklyn really loved football and wanted to try out. His mom wouldn't take him to tryouts. He asked her, "If you take me to tryouts, I'll take ballet lessons." His mom was shocked. His Mom researched and decided on the Pavlovich Dance School under Radenko Pavlovich. He attended 6 days a week. Brooklyn took two buses to class each day. Ballet became like "wisteria." He got a scholarship to the Kirov Academy of Ballet. He made a pact with himself: "If you're not a soloist by the age of 21, you'll go back to school and pursue football." He started out loving bravura roles like those in Dox Quixote and The Pirate, but then really took to more romantic roles. "If I can move them in some way, then I don't really care what any artistic person has to say that much, because it's for the audience, first and foremost." At the Chicago Dancing Festival in Millennium Park, there were almost 12,000 people.He felt "invincible" because of the energy he was getting from the audience. The Bowie & Queen show at the Kennedy Center in DC came close in energy level despite the audience being one tenth the size of the Chicago show. When Brooklyn watches a recording, he picks himself apart. It's hard for him to enjoy watching a recording. When you have reached a certain level, you need to find someone you trust, who understands artistry, someone who is invested in you. Pavlovich is one of Brooklyn's favorite coaches to this day. "He's almost like a Dad to me." Brooklyn performs with the Columbia Classical Ballet each year for the LifeChance International Gala of the Stars. Brooklyn danced with Misty Copeland for the first time in 2015--and made history--in the Kennedy Center's "Swan Lake." Brooklyn admires Misty's ambassadorship for bringing ballet to young people through her appearances in commercials such as Under Armour. His first job was with the Joffrey Ballet. He is very much a perfectionist.; every day is the pursuit of perfection. The small linking steps in ballet are so important; they make a leap sparkle. Brooklyn was able to do the big "tricks" during his first year and a half, but they were very unrefined. The smaller steps and techniques refined the more showy tricks. Winning Gold Medal at Varna was a moment of "Wow, I can't believe I did that." Everyone who has won is a legend. Being listed among them is still surreal. "Was that a dream?" The hardest ballets, though he doesn't feel like they're hard when he's dancing, include "Romeo and Juliet" and "Swan Lake." Adagio is uncommon for a male dancer; it is very slow and you have to control every element. "It's like the difference between 20 fast push-ups and 20 eight count push-ups." Brooklyn usually gets into character, but he does sometimes talk to himself during a performance. He has fallen only once during a performance, and his memory of it is priceless. Brooklyn prepares through visualization. He shares his physical and nutrition regimen. Stretch! Stretch! Stretch! Don't be discouraged if you're not the favorite--there will be a favorite and pay attention to what a teacher or coach says to the favorite. "Shed your pride. Shed your insecurities. Just be a sponge." "Put in the extra hours. There's always going to be someone who does something better than you. If you want to be the best, the only way to ever catch that person is to be doing more than they're doing."

When Brooklyn came out last November, its tinkly cutesy trailer put us off going to see it. But the low-key story of a luminous Irish lass torn between worlds old and new has since done nothing but pick up awards and praise, so this week Danny decided to see what all the fuss was about. Did it welcome him like a beaming distant family relative, or leave him wanting to emigrate from the cinema forever? His review reveals all. Another film that has received some Academy love is Trumbo, all about a cranky communist screenwriter and his bristling moustache facing down John Wayne and the flag wavin, commie-hatin House Un-American Activities Committee. It wasn’t particularly good but it did make a strong case for First Amendment rights, high-waisted trousers, and writing in the bath. Plus: Danny contains his boiling rage as a listener disagrees with his review of Room; we discuss the 3 seconds of shirtless Bourne boxing millions of Superbowl viewers enjoyed last Sunday; and gravel-voiced northerner Sam Riley elaborates on his raven-focused preparations for his role in Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.
