We, Julius Rea (arts producer & writer), Sharon Shao (actress, musician, arts educator), and Erin Bregman (playwright & librettist), saw Christopher Chen’s The Headlands at ACT. We’ve all been part of the Bay Area theater community for a long time, but haven't worked together (or known each other well) until now.

by

Afrikah Smith

On the seventh floor of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, I found myself with eleven strangers sitting in a bare room containing only chairs, a sheet of plywood with a stack of cards, a coat rack and a table to gather our things.

The Lost Art of Lust

by

Brittani Samuel

I need to stop deleting my sexts. For the past 10-odd years of my flirtatious life, I’ve sent, received, screenshotted, but ultimately deleted hundreds of kinky virtual messages from electronic records. The intent behind this hurried erasure has always been protective.

Ovid’s Metamorphoses divided the ages of man into metals, degrading in preciousness and value along a timeline of both technological progress and moral corruption. A golden age of peace gives way to a silver age of agriculture, then to the bronze and iron ages of mining, warfare, and conquest.

Hiding Us From Ourselves

by

JuCoby Johnson

I loved my high school experience. I know I can sometimes be in the minority when I say that but, it’s true. I have always been proud of having gone to Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville, FL, with a focus in theater.

Anonymous Essays: The Carbon Footprint

No items found.

In the early 2000s, so the story goes, British Petroleum was beginning to feel the pressure. Awareness of the existential problem posed by climate change was growing, and the public was rightly looking to fossil fuel companies as the cause. So they enlisted Ogily and Mather, one of the largest advertising firms in the world, to help them out of their jam.

A Review of KPOP the Musical on Broadway

by

Teen Reviewers and Critics (TRAC)

For our issue on KPOP, 3Views partnered with ArtConnection's Teen Reviewers and Critics Program (TRAC) to develop and publish reviews by NYC Teenagers! We are thrilled to build a bridge between the current generation of folks making art and the next generation of folks gearing up to consume and critique that art.

We saw Lear at the California Shakespeare Theatre. Capitalism and unresolved grief kills almost everyone.

The Kite Runner highlights a specific heritage, so 3Views sent three SWANASA (South West Asian, North African, and South Asian) theater makers to the show in order to ground a review in the appropriate cultural context.
