—— arts keep hearts open to feelings. No matter the money count or leadership or any issue facing humans, art is the only way for us to stay human through it all. I caught the final performance of POTUS at City Theatre. It was hilarious. Writing a review after the show closes might seem odd. […]
I was quite young when I first met Bilbo Baggins, peaceful resident of Middle Earth and protagonist of ‘The Hobbit’ by J.R.R Tolkien.. My Dad was a aficionado of science fiction and fantasy so it was inevitable he would steer me that way, too. The novel dates to 1937 while the animated television musical (??) […]
I can’t decide if it’s a sign of the times or simply dumb luck. Burned the index finger of my dominant hand on the icing of a Pop-Tart fresh out of the toaster. Ran cold water. Google “wtf do I do now.” And here I sit with my finger swathed in petroleum jelly and generic […]

This girl-power feminist re-imagining of the classic tragedy left a little to be desired. In this production, Juliet does not die by suicide, awakening to a world of possibilities with a little help from her […]
November distribution starts tomorrow. We have enough to give each caretaker 12 pounds of dry and 16 cans of wet. If we can rally to generate 160 more cans today, each caretaker will receive a full case. A case means one can almost every day. You can use our wishlist or go rogue and shop […]
