There’s Something About Mary

There’s Something About Mary Our Lady of the Underpass*
In the wake of the 2005 appearance of a salt stain loosely shaped like the Virgin Mary, local playwright Tanya Saracho spent weeks quizzing pilgrims on why they felt compelled to trek to 90/94’s Fullerton Avenue viaduct to view the specter. If...

Dean's List

Dean's List Dean & Britta*
Andy Warhol begat the Factory, which begat The Velvet Underground and Nico, which begat Dean Wareham, an indie rocker who has made a career of emulating the Velvet’s chiming songs—first with bands Galaxie 500 and Luna, then with his Luna bandmate and wife, Britta Phillips, playing Nico to his Lou Reed. Now the couple comes full circle...

Dutch Treat

Dutch Treat Rouw siert Electra (Mourning Becomes Electra)
 
Eugene O’Neill’s take on the Oresteia trilogy (a.k.a. the House of Epic Dysfunction, wherein son loves mother, murders father; wife murders husband, is avenged by children; and so on) is stripped down to its primal essence by the renowned Toneelgroep Amsterdam.

The Lab Mystique

Up to 8th grade, Lab was fine. 9th grade at Lab was the worst experience of my life, and I'm so glad I transferred. Seriously, U-High is awful. Don't send your kids there.

When Facebook and Real Life Collide

You're right, LK, 40 is the new 30. And if that's true then I guess 30 is the new 20, which makes me barely of legal drinking age. A kegger should be right up my alley. :)

A Lap Pool in Noble Square

Maybe no other houses for sale right now have indoor pools, but what about others in town that have had them in the past? Joan Cusack's house downtown has an indoor pool in the basement.
