Guys And Dolls - Like You Have Never Seen It Before
Check Out The Hyde Park Theater Scene
By
Despite having spent two quarters on the campus, I was not aware of the existence of a professional theatre in Hyde Park till very recently. A Divinity school student literally dragged me to the Court Theatre thinking that I am losing my sanity juggling recruiting and mid-terms. Court Theatre is the professional theatre at the University (located on Ellis and 55th across the new sports complex) and its latest offering is an adaptation of Broadway classic Guys and Dolls. The show will run till March 28.
The Pretty Girl In The Dive Bar
I Believe In The Church Of Rock And Roll

My favorite going-out thing to do (besides, of course, TNDC) is to see live music in a dirty little club. I'm not talking about concerts as much as shows-and there is a big difference.

Follies: The Auditions Recap
By
If you auditioned for Follies (or "the big show" as I like to call it), you probably saw me, considering that I was at about eleven-and-a-half of the twelve hours of auditions we held last week. If the auditions are at all representative of the talent we have at this school, the big show will be great this spring.

In the midst of all this madness though, remember why you are doing all this. If you really enjoy what you do, then you are truly fortunate - you will achieve great success.

Train Wrecks On Television
From "Reality Bites" To "Reality TV Bites"
By
The other day I was talking to a friend about Anna Nicole Smith (who's making a little comeback of her own by losing about 500 pounds, but unfortunately not her personality). I mentioned that whenever I saw Anna's reality show on TV, it made me sick.
