Theater review: Ross Valley Players skillfully tackles Arthur Miller’s grim masterpiece (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Down-on-his-luck salesman Willy Loman can’t catch a break in “Death of a Salesman,” running at Ross Valley Players through Oct. 25. He’s lost the drive and focus that once made him successful. Interconnected issues — family, financial and personal — are the combined motive force that drives Arthur Miller’s classic play, which debuted on Broadway in 1949 and has been a staple of the American stage ever since.

Theater review: Novato Theater Company’s ‘Spelling Bee’ spells pure joy (opens the original)

Read excerpt
A serious personal problem gets a dazzling comedic treatment in Sean Daniels’ “The White Chip” at Marin Theatre through Sept. 20.

He becomes so addicted that he starts each morning with a 50/50 blen
Marin artist brings stunning paintings to West Marin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These are a few simple adjectives that spring to mind when attempting to describe “Beyond and Within,” a new exhibit of paintings at Continuum Fine Art in Point Reyes Station, running through Sept. 27. West Marin’s new and ambitious art gallery has a massive hit on its hands with its new show devoted completely to the works of Jeremy Morgan, a United Kingdom native and longtime Marin resident. Ebullient, loquacious and professorial — the artist worked for many years as an instructor at the San F
