Theater review: Guthrie’s ‘Waiting for Godot’ a classic worth waiting for (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1998, the National Theatre of Great Britain surveyed 800 playwrights, actors, directors, theater professionals and arts journalists and asked each to name what they saw as the 20th century’s 10 most significant plays. After adding up what titles were mentioned the most, sitting atop the poll was Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot.” If that comes as a surprise to Twin Cities theatergoers, it might be because it’s so seldom produced around here. While the late Bain Boehlke staged it twice at h
Theater review: ABBA-maxxing awaits you with ‘Mamma Mia’ at the Orpheum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nothing screams “the ’70s” as forcefully as the effervescent pop of ABBA. The Swedish foursome may have had only one number-one hit on this side of the Atlantic (1975’s “Dancing Queen”) and a total of four songs that reached the top 10, but it remains a beloved distillation of a certain jumpsuit and platform shoe-clad aesthetic.

Read excerpt
Something interesting always happens when Greg Banks comes to town to help create a Children’s Theatre Company show. Like that particularly fun uncle or family friend who had a playful spirit and encouraged your imagination, the English director has a gift for engaging an audience. Banks is particularly adept at taking classic texts and successfully eliminating any distance you might be tempted to place between yourself and the story, both figuratively and literally. For his adaptations of “Anti
Concert review: Brad Paisley’s old-school country makes for an exhilarating evening at the Fair (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is there enough country in country music nowadays? For most of this century, the most popular acts on country radio have sounded a lot like pop artists who inject a little bit of pedal steel and fiddle into their sound, but are otherwise indistinguishable from the riff rock and power ballads you might hear on a “classic rock” radio station. And then there’s Brad Paisley. Throughout his 27 years as one of country music’s most popular artists, Paisley has stood out from the crowd not only because
