...your first year of wedlock to a stranger?) Other lonely hearts have already submitted to having their mate-finding woes aired on cable. Yes, there have been dating shows before, but none quite so DIY as three offered by FLN, the network formerly known for fancy cooking and curtain-choosing. Wingman, in which comedian Michael Somerville acts as a dating sidekick, premiered Feb. 10. How to Find a Husband, a British import, arrives in April. The network is also developing Love Taxi, in which a cab driver plays matchmaker. Dating, camera, New York City taxi--the discomfort trifecta...
...takes Clara to the Enchanted Forest ruled by the Snow Queen and King, danced by Lia Cirio and Pavel Gurevich with wonderful virtuosity and panache. The sets by Helen Pond and Herbert Senn were well worth the price of admission and generated audible awe at the rise of the curtain for the second act. The second act might be the one realm in the ballet trajectory that is familiar to almost everyone. Anyone can hum along to the Russian dance, even as Jared Redick wows with a series of split jumps reaching extraordinary levels of elevation and flexibility. An implausibly...
Flowers are placed upside-down in a vase, a mouse drags a dead cat, and laundry is doused by a watering can; a cast member climbs a curtain that appears too weak to hold his weight and another falls into holes that aren’t really there. “Aurélia’s Oratorio” is full of such bizarre moments, which combine to create a poetic and wonderful production.

...commemorate the legacy of an Administration with an approval rating in the 20s? As the curtain falls on the George W. Bush presidency, this slim volume unspools a highlight reel of Bush's achievements--from ousting Saddam Hussein and staving off post-9/11 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil to combatting AIDS and malaria in Africa and distributing $16 billion in food aid. Framing the text are stats-laden info boxes, a bullet-pointed list of "100 Things Americans May Not Know" about their 43rd President's record and snapshots of Bush looking presidential (hoisting a bullhorn amid ground-zero...
Before the curtain falls on his presidency, George W. Bush has something to say. This White House report attempts the Sisyphean task of commemorating the legacy of an Administration with an approval rating in the 20s. To push the boulder up the hill, the report unspools a highlight reel of the Administration's accomplishments, from No Child Left Behind to the dissemination of $16 billion in food aid to blighted countries. Framing the text are stats-laden "Did You Know?" boxes, snapshots of the President looking presidential (glad-handing seniors, holding babies, hammering nails) and inspiring section headers describing Bush...
