The Grand Suggests: "The Attack"

There was so much potential, so much possibility for success and perhaps even greatness.  Then one woman's inexplicably heinous act rent it all asunder. But that's enough about Miley Cyrus' performance at the VMAs. The Attack is the latest film from Lebanese director Ziad Doueiri, adapted from the international best-selling novel

Love As Laughter: Seventeen years on

There was an Olympia-based emo-bending indie punk band in the early '90s called Lync. After sporadic recordings on K Records, and only one full-length release, Lync disbanded, leaving frontman Sam Jayne to find another project to pour his burgeoning talent into. Jayne's new solo project, Love As Laughter, emerged in 1996

Through Sept. 14: "Five Women Wearing The Same Dress"

Five Women is every inch a live situation comedy. Its jokes veer from issue to expected social issue. Much of its acting is in expository sitcom style. The first time I saw this script performed was in the Bible Belt, so its impatience with naïve Christianity landed

Let's get a few questions settled right out of the gate. First, while there are, in fact, five women (and, eventually, one man) in the play Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, they're not actually wearing the same dress. They're wearing five different-sized copies of the same blue dress. Perhaps

Lakewood Playhouse: Coming of age

Elliot Gould was born, as were Frank Langella, Tommy Chong ... and the Lakewood Playhouse. Back then, there were two Lakewood Players: a mid-1950s company history identifies them only as

Friday, Aug. 30: Rose Gold

Hailing from Bozeman, Mont., Rose Gold make uniquely difficult music to anticipate or describe. What generally starts as sort of the fuzzy, meek alt-rock songs tend to descend into howling madness without much notice. Much of this is due to lead singer and bassist Birdie Bowie. Her voice has a

The Attack is the latest film from Lebanese director Ziad Doueiri, adapted from the international best-selling novel of the same name by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra and, like many great films, the story behind the story sounds like the plot of a movie in its own right.  Mohammed Moulessehoul, who
