Theater / Other

• The Syringa Tree: 1 prop, 100 minutes, 1 "schizophrenic" actress, 1 brilliant play. All I can say is that I have _never_ left a theater as awestruck as I did tonight. An absolutely amazing performance by Caroline Cave. It is hard to believe that one actress can do so much: transform her persona in both hight, sex, age and race so quickly. Masterful lighting. See this if you are in town, you will not be disappointed. (mini review by cjones) (review)
