A million teddy bears find a million buttons

October 01, 2008
by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet • 10/1/08 • As part of a national effort organized by the Boston-based early education organization Jumpstart, the Guthrie Theater has invited local children and their minders to stop by tomorrow morning to be regaled with one of many readings of Don Freeman's Corduroy. As a cobranded bribe, the Guthrie will be distributing 500 copies of Little House on the Prairie to participating youngsters.
Arts Orbit is a multisource blog about the local arts scene, featuring both original contributions by Daily Planet writers and entries reprinted from partner blogs and online publications.

Jumpstart, it seems, is attempting to set a record for the world's largest "shared reading experience”—kids' help not having been needed to set the previous benchmark a decade ago, when the Starr Report was released.

THEATER | Barbara Berlovitz's "Stories as Told in a Bed": An intimate and sublimely humorous journey

By Dwight Hobbes, TC Daily Planet

It is tricky business reviewing a work in progress, putting the writer in a barely tenable position. How can you be fair to the playwright, casting comment on a script that's still in development? Critique the weaknesses and you're a villain for kicking the play's legs out from under it before it's had a chance to actually stand on them. Praise the strengths and you're a cheerleader clapping the author on the back before the job's finished being done.MORE »
