...depressed. A paltry five new works were on display, including one in previews and another limping to a close. If you had gone that same weekend to a single venue in Kentucky, the Actors Theatre of Louisville, you could have feasted on a banquet of meaty new drama: six full-length plays and six shorter ones, including the latest work of such luminaries as Tony Kushner, Jane Martin, David Henry Hwang, John Patrick Shanley, Anne Bogart and Craig Lucas. And you would have left the 20th Annual Humana Festival of New American Plays with a subversive thought: yes, theater...
...result was no filler, but a romp. Doherty and her producer-husband, John McColgan, knew they had a hit and quickly turned it into a full-length show called Riverdance. Composer Bill Whelan wrote the score, which uses traditional forms like the jig and the reel. And Michael Flatley, the volcanic star of the short segment, devised the choreography.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Calmly confirming that legal bills have nearly bankrupted him, defending the honesty of his wife, and stubbornly insisting that no matter what Newt Gingrich says, a balanced budget agreement could very easily be reached "in fifteen minutes," a feisty President Clinton faced reporters Thursday in his first full-length press conference since last August. It was a masterly performance by a president who, by any measure, is facing extraordinary personal, political and financial difficulties just as the presidential election season gets underway. As he has in past crises, Clinton rose to the beleagured occasion with an easy blend...
