Gallery Stroll – July 2010
Who needs the Kayo Gallery? It might seem like a peculiar question given the popularity of Kayo, but an appropriate one for the patrons of this month’s Gallery Stroll. The Kayo Gallery is in need of an immediate cash infusion to stay alive for the next twelve months. Sales from the July show will be the deciding factor on whether Kayo will remain in business for another year. … read more

The Death of Brendan Fraser’s Career
As I sit here and ponder about the career that could have been, I can only hope Brendan Fraser’s career can be seen as an example to the next generation of aspiring actors so its death is not in vain.

Bellyography: Aubrilynn – May 2010
Aubrilynn not only takes my breath away every time I watch her dance, but she also lights and ignites any place she is dancing. Aubrilynn’s talent, command of the art and stage presence seem mature beyond her sixteen years. She has been gifted with natural talent, beauty and style. Her performances are hypnotic and professional, whether dancing solo or in a troupe. Although she is young and still has much to learn, it is quite obvious that this young lady was born to dance. … read more

Plan-B Theatre: Amerigo
Eric Samuelson’s latest play takes on the question of who discovered America and for what purpose. The seemingly easily answered question is hashed out and debated eternally (literally) between Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. The debate takes place in purgatory and is moderated by philospher/proto-capitalist Niccolo Machiavelli and arbitrated by Mexican nun/writer Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. … read more
