The New Yorker Festival Gave Me All The Feels

October 14, 2014 by rhapcityblog

“Entertainment changes the world.” – Peter Paige This past weekend I attended two events at The New Yorker Festival. I full out fangirl for this weekend every October because it is an example of exactly why I came to New York in the first place. Now in its 15th year, The New Yorker Festival is an opportunity to sit in a room with extraordinary talents, legends, tastemakers, cultural icons, and experts in the fields of TV, Film, Art, Food, Music, Stage, Economics, […]

Joelle Lurie’s debut album “Take Me There”

October 8, 2014 by rhapcityblog

“A magnificent voice and charming demeanor…” —Metro On September 30, 2014- Joelle Lurie released her long-awaited debut album “Take Me There” with The Pinehurst Trio which made it into the Top 10 jazz albums on iTunes in its first week. The previous night, she played a sold out release concert held at Subculture in New York City.

“Rock Bottom” Never Felt So Good – by Dana Craig

September 14, 2014 by rhapcityblog

I think we throw around the term “force of nature” around willy nilly. Don’t you think? The Dictionary defines the phrase as such: “In physics, one of the fundamental forces that occur in nature and affect the structure of the universe, including gravitation, electromagnetism, strong force, and weak force.” When we then apply the term to human beings, we must be careful, for not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry fits this definition. There have been a few- John Belushi, […]

“What’s Been Going on Down Below” – by Dylan Bustamante

September 6, 2013 by rhapcityblog

So about a year ago, I was blessed with probably one of the most unique jobs a person can have in the Broadway community. Being dropped into a world where anything can happen, anyone can show up, and anything can go wrong. I work at 54 Below. Located in the basement of the old Studio 54, it’s the go-to theatre hangout where each night you are sure to find Broadway legends (Patti LuPone, Bebe Neuwirth), downtown favorites (Bridget Everett, Jackie […]
