...trace the Moliere influences). Scholarly substance? Come now (though if you insist, this was the primary source for both Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" and Rossini's "Barber of Seville"). Profundity? Not a smidgen, I hope. But for you brain-becobwebbed hordes, here's energy and elegance, a jewel-box set and pure Goya costumes, zip and charm and beguiling idiocy... tonight through Sunday at 8; call 864-2630 for ticket information...
...prefer your history philosophized rather than wrapped up in a candy-box, Camus' Caligula, an existentialist interpretation of a period of Roman history, bows at the Loeb Ex Monday through Wednesday.

John Travolta's disco-dancing Tony has joined Sylvester Stallone's Rocky as one of America's favorite silver screen heroes, and the similarities between the two films do not end there. There is the same low-budget feel to "Saturday Night Fever"--the obscure director, in this case a fellow named John Badham who seems bent on dazzling his audiences with bizarre camera angles...
