We know, generally speaking, where Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is: in a hospital in the Washington, D.C., area. What we don’t know is why he’s there, when he will leave, and what state he is in right now.  McConnell, 84, has been hospitalized for a full three weeks. He was initially taken in on June 14 for unclear reasons. While McConnell’s team and several Republican allies have insisted that he is communicative and will return to work, the vague information they’ve provided and McConnell’s health record have sparked a fierce rumor mill speculating that the former Senate majority leader’s condition…

When Slam Frank opened last September at the Asylum, a 150-seat Off-Broadway performance space in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen district, it had no marketing budget and no marquee actors in its cast. What it did have was an out-there, provocative storyline — a progressive theater troupe presents Anne Frank as a pansexual Latina with a Black mother, a neurodivergent gay father, an ultra-orthodox Jewish sister, and a gender-fluid love interest as they hide from the Nazis — and a vibrant hip-hop-meets-pop songbook studded with Broadway Easter eggs.
