A real shame. Those are the only words to describe missing the Stern play, as the college women put on an amazing show for those willing to appreciate their efforts by showing up. The show comprised two one-act plays with Shakespearean themes; the first, entitled "The Second Best Bed," dealt with Willy's strange gift to his wife in his will, and the second, "When Shakespeare's Ladies Meet," theorized about hypothetical conversations should The Bard's leading ladies congregate.

Footloose: Theater Review

I really don't think that it's necessary to write a seven hundred and fifty word review of "Footloose" when I can sum up the entire play in one word - energy. From the moment the actors pull up the makeshift curtain until the finale, "Footloose" is a pure adrenaline rush. This energy is what makes "Footloose" work so well. The actors are so energized that he audience literally feeds off of them. In return, through their applause and foot tapping, the audience throws that energy right back at them. This relatively intimate exchange between the players and audience is really exciting. It has been years since I have felt this type of energy in a theatrical production.

Analyze This

"Donning" his native Italian accent and adding a pinch of Brooklynese, Robert De Niro returns to his mafia roots, dragging along Billy Crystal in Harold Ramis' "Analyze This," a successful attempt at pairing two familiar actors and harping on their eccentricities.

"The Comedown Queen"

The 90's have not been particularly kind to folk music. What with Bob Dylan's health problems, Ani Difranco's bastardization of the genre, Cat Stevens going nuts, and the total apathy towards Peter, Paul and Mary's constant tours; it seems that folk music is dying. America needs something to revive it. Folk music is in desperate need for someone to come along and save it. Basically, folk music needs a new hero. That hero is here and her name is Beth Orton.
