...grasp. Twelve years of Sunday school--held inexplicably and inconveniently on Saturdays--did not help clarify all the mysteries of the missal. My father instructed us to spend the time in prayer. I inspected Jesus on the Cross and wondered what he thought of my life. I inspected the boy across the aisle and wondered what he thought of my hair. There were times I thought I would pass out from boredom. There were times I probably did. Not understanding all the words spoken during the endless sermons, I had little choice but to spend the time in thought about...
...school building; some pupils wept when they saw the charred remains of their classrooms. "I don't have to ask how you feel," announces Mayakoh Cheyara, 47, the school principal. "I can see just by looking at your faces. But we all have to be strong." An older boy leads a short prayer in Arabic-all Ban Bukoh's 200 pupils are Muslims-and the national anthem is played. "Thais love peace, but aren't afraid to fight," the children sing as the Thai flag is raised between fire-scorched trees. The words can't mean much-some...
...Travolta's Edna Turnblad is the heart of Hairspray, Elijah Kelley's Seaweed J. Stubbs is the hips--the kind of boy who makes teenage girls nearly choke on their lollipops or want to join him in detention.

Kelley is in talks to star in a biopic of the young Sammy Davis...

The part he did get that year was in a summer theater revival of The Boy Friend. He has a word-perfect memory of the audition: "The producer, who was 93, said, 'There are people here who can sing and dance better than you. But nobody has as much fun on stage. I can't resist you. You're contagious. I am going to hire...
...play begins with a geographer who wants to explain the story of a country that only existed for one day, told by narrating the life of a boy named Adam. Raised on an uncharted island, Adam is rescued by a group of sailors that tell him a children’s story about the kingdom of Gildoray and its lost prince. Soon, Adam believes that he is actually the lost prince of Gildoray. The rest of the play features short scenes of Adam’s quest for Gildoray, during which he battles pirates, warriors, and gryphons, falls in love...
