Theatre people are superstitious. This goes for most artists and even athletes but theatre people are SUPER superstitious. Don't say good luck or call "The Scottish Play" by name in a theatre.

Thursday, new and veteran craft enthusiasts can get their fiberful fill during author Blair Stocker's take and make event. She invites everyone to craft an original creation using

There's something otherworldly about Gary Lappier's photography show, "Sent From Somewhere Else," at Fulcrum Gallery. That does not mean the pictures are of fantasy scenes or that they're surrealistic or dreamily atmospheric. They are simple, straightforward, black and white shots of the B&I Market on South

OK. Time to ditch the metaphysics of art and get pragmatic for a while. Apparently, "making it" is hot right now. For brevity's sake we'll define "making it" as producing and selling enough work to quit your day job and live off your creations. Most artists harbor this dream, but few

You Can't Take It With You is one of my favorite plays. It wasn't a week ago, which should tell you something about the current Lakewood Playhouse production. It is a show full of characters. Not the way most plays are, but more in the, "He's quite a character" vein. A

These words, in all their utterly candid descriptiveness, spoke to me. If someone, whoever that loyal employee/vodka drinker may be, had the
