...another with great enthusiasm, but her wistful eyes hint that she wants more from life. Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand skillfully captures Miss Pettigrew’s understated wisdom. She speaks sparingly, but when she does, she says something either charmingly clumsy or surprisingly perceptive.

...their panties over their hips with a prolonged, deliberate awkwardness. They didn’t let the audience forget that what they were doing was something that everyone in that room did every day. There was something more in this than the razzle-dazzle of the pasties or the sheer stage presence of the performers. I began to see in burlesque the glimmer, the shiver, of art. It was the pole dancing, though, that really convinced me. Performance artist Erin Markey started out with comedy, talking about trying to support herself after college by becoming a stripper. Markey...
