What's doin'?
First of all, I'm planning on going to see The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder at New Stage Theatre soon. They have a rockin' cast for it, and it should be an interesting and entertaining evening. Here's the blurb on the show from their website:
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this is the satiric story of the extraordinary Antrobus family down through the ages from the time of the war. They have survived flood, fire, pestilence, the seven year locusts, the ice age, the pox, the double feature, a dozen wars and as many depressions. Ultimately bewitched, befuddled and becalmed, they are the stuff of which heroes and buffoons are made. Their survival is a wacky testament of faith in humanity.
You can learn more about the playwright by visiting The Thornton Wilder Society online. Interesting stuff.
Also, don't forget that the annual Crossroads Film Festival is being held in Jackson, Miss., this weekend, March 30 - April 2. The event will show 60 films over the course of four days at the Parkway Place Theatre on Lakeland Drive. Tickets for each showing are $5 for Crossroads members and $7 for the general public. All-access festival passes are also available. A friend of mine is presenting her original film at the festival, Men You May Not Have Met. The film showcases an alternative perception of masculinity. Issues of masculinity are addressed by ten men form Northeastern colleges who are shown to be in constant dialogue with images from movies, television commercials, and advertisements.
Lastly, I spent a few days last week in New York City on business. I was working for the most part, but while I was there, I did get the chance to pop into a few fun places that I thought I'd mention. Flute, a champagne bar in midtown, served delicious "bellini-tinis" as well as other fun drinks. The bar is located below street level, so it's easy to miss if you don't know it's there. In the evenings, the lights are very dim, and the mood is very romantic.
We also had a wonderful meal at Cafe Un Deux Trois, where we had delicious calamari and pate, followed by a HUGE roasted chicken entree and puffy profiteroles with chocolate sauce. I thought that, for New York, the prices were quite reasonable.
