I always find it odd how Hollywood continually imports acting talent from the rest of the English speaking world when there are so many accomplished American actors with movie star attributes working in TV. Big time movie stars like Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman can now drop down to TV, but a stigma persists regarding promoting TV stars to movie roles. Willa Fitzgerald should have gotten attention from Hollywood following her lead role in the Scream TV series, but a minor role in 2019's The Goldfinch is as close as she's gotten to mainstream cinema. Any doubts over whether Fitzgerald has what it takes to be a big screen lead are dispelled within minutes of director JT Mollner's Strange Darling. Fitzgerald grabs our attention from the off and holds us in a vice-like grip as she delivers one of the most electric performances of recent indie cinema.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
