The Lifespan of a Fact, a play by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, begins with a perplexing spew of facts, none of which makes any sense. The audience hears something about a suicide in Las Vegas, a chicken playing tic-tac-toe, the phrase “Buckets of Blood” (which ends up…

Monday, November 11 Faiths in Conversation There are approximately 4,200 religions in the world, yet we only ever hear about the rules of a few (you know who you are).

The timpani are among a symphony orchestra’s most exciting instruments. There’s nothing quite like a musician pounding away on wide kettledrums made from copper.

Well if it isn’t Beto O’Rourke reading his favorite alt-weekly. I assume you just dropped off Molly, Ulysses and your other kid at school and now you’re sitting at home drinking a nice hot cup of coffee (with a little bit of Bailey’s because it’s cold now) with your iPad…
