More great press for The Ring Cycle! Julia Furlan writes for WNYC Culture:
“If a show in Bushwick celebrating the camp and desolation of Reagan’s 1980′s by way of Wagner sounds like a hipster mashup worthy of ironic T-shirts, think again.

Only 3 performances left — this Thursday, Friday and Saturday — 8PM at The Bushwick Starr.
