Mondays are Dark

Sorry we missed last week; we were the victims of a nasty head cold.  That just means we should have more stories for this week's reading list.  Well, we would if there were more stories, but it seems to have been a slow couple of weeks for theater features.

Today's "dark" theater is the Carnival Studio Theatre, where the Alliance Theater Lab will be reprising their critically acclaimed original production of The Brothers Beckett starting March 7th.  This is a tremendous step up for the company, which usually stages their productions at the Main Street Playhouse.  A co-production with the center, Alliance ran an aggressive and original fundraising campaign to raise their portion of the funding.
