Get your toady whipped on West 7th

October 02, 2008
by Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet • 10/2/08 •
This Friday night at St. Paul's Mad Hatter Tea House, Rick Griffith will be kicking off the Halloween season with his annual "Magic Lute Show." That's right, folks. We're talking authentic live lute music, readings from Renaissance-era sources on witchcraft and alchemy, and, Griffith promises, "a few choice bits of legerdemain and mental chicanery." The show, which starts at 7 p.m., is free; Griffith accepts tips.
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.

Even if you hate lute music, distrust magicians, and are glad the Renaissance is finally frickin' over, it's worth a stop for the Mad Hatter's baked goods alone. (Getting yourself baked for the show might also not be a bad idea, but the Mad Hatter staff probably can't help you there.) For a more complete description of this oughtn't-miss show—and an explanation of the above headline—see this article in The Rake.

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 »
