    Zoren: ‘Primetime’ take on ‘Predator’ a jumble in a muddle (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A movie about a television program and the people involved in it misses on so many levels, it becomes a dull, judgmental train wreck instead of the ironic insightful look at television in action it purports to be. “Primetime” takes a moralistic view of a moralistic show, NBC’s “To Catch a Predator,” and soundly loses the goodness contest by being smug, disjointed, badly written, and prone to use off-camera incidentals more than properties of “Predator,” which was actually a segment within a larg

    Here’s our columnist’s picks for Emmys in a year of terrific TV (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bordering on a zillion categories, total Emmy distribution cannot fit in a single primetime ceremony. That’s why half of the Emmys were given out in two ceremonies last week. These cover categories the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), or the network broadcasting its awards, NBC, deem too specialized or too arcane to interest the general Emmy viewer. I’m not sure I agree that some of the statuettes given out are so inconsequential. For instance, the Emmy for Best Guest Ac

    Zoren: Joe Torsella, his play, ‘Declaration,’ part of the Fringe Festival (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Joe Torsella has spent a lot of hours studying the foundation documents of the United States. Besides having an interest in the 1776 Declaration of Independence and the 1787 Constitution, each figured into Torsella’s work as a guiding leader at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center, an institution I praise above many others for its even-handedness and resistance to capitulating to the time’s political fashion, as a U.S. representative to the United Nations, and as the State Treasurer of Pe

    Zoren: Meet Hershey Felder and his play, ‘Rachmaninoff and the Tsar’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Hershey Felder’s life is his work. And vice versa. Yes, he tries to find space to return to his home in Florence — as in Firenze, Italia — and spend time with his wife, former Canadian prime minister Kim Campbell, and their dogs, but between touring with his various shows, gleefully doing the research for them, running a theater in the shadow of Il Duomo, and making films, what others refer to as leisure time does not fit Felder’s agenda. “Leisure time doesn’t exist in my life,” Felder says in a

    Zoren: Laura Benanti and ‘Nobody Cares’ opens soon at George Street (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Everyone I tell about me interviewing Laura Benanti and looking forward to seeing her play, one she wrote, “Nobody Cares” at New Brunswick’s George Street Playhouse this week, has the same reaction. “I’ll miss her so much as Melania Trump on “Colbert.” Or, “She was so good, so funny as Melania Trump. I hope she gets to do it again.” Even Christine Pedi from Sirius XM’s Broadway Channel said it while introducing Benanti doing Joni Mitchell’s “He Comes for Conversation,” preceded by a hilarious mo
