And its 50th anniversary celebration wasn’t just a big party with a lot of celebrities. Charles McNulty: “The show, which was produced and directed with finesse by Robert H. Egan, reflected on CTG’s legacy not simply to indulge in nostalgia but to sharpen the theater’s mission as it moves into a future that promises to be every bit as impossible — culturally, politically and economically (let’s not even bring up the traffic) — as the past.”

The Problem With Beautiful Bookstores Is That Everyone Wants Photos, All Of The Time
At The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles, “Some see it as a special place, one made magical through the presence of books. Some view it as a photo opportunity first, everything else second. We get people blocking thoroughfares to take photos, making access to shelves difficult for both staff and visitors. We should have known that would happen when we created unusual design fixtures for the store, from the tunnel of books on the mezzanine level to the cash wrap made of books.”
The Houston Symphony Lays Off Three People In Administration
In addition, there was a “restructuring,” but it didn’t affect any musicians.
On The 150th Anniversary Of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Birth, It Might Be Time For A Reassessment
Rowan Moore is not in love with Wright. “Of all the architects officially designated great, he provokes in me a special allergy. It is not that he was a fantasist, liar and egomaniac who left a trail of emotional destruction in his wake, nor that his buildings leaked and crumbled and went many times over budget, nor that the chairs he designed fell over and defied basic norms of comfort, nor that he wrote and spoke pure, shining, transcendent, transparent nonsense, nor that he was a hypocrite who preached democracy and freedom but flirted with tyrants such as Mussolini and Stalin.”
What Will Happen Now To Canada’s Premiere English-Language Magazine, The Walrus?
It’s a big question, especially because “The magazine’s high-profile editor-in-chief, Jonathan Kay – under social-media fire after coming to the defence of another magazine editor who had lost his job over an editorial advocating cultural appropriation – resigned .”
Imagine What Will Happen When Your Car Gets Hacked
Uh oh. “We’re going to see ransomware against our cars. Our digital video recorders and web cameras will be taken over by botnets. The data that these devices collect about us will be stolen and used to commit fraud. And we’re not going to be able to secure these devices.”
Revealed: Facebook’s Guidelines For Nudity, Violence, Threats And More
Some of the guidelines are, well, a little unexpected: “‘Generally, imagery of animal abuse can be shared on the site. Some extremely disturbing imagery may be marked as disturbing.’ Photos of animal mutilation, including those showing torture, can be marked as disturbing rather than deleted.

Theatre Professionals Of Color Get Asked If It’s ‘Easier’ For Them To Find Work Because They’re Not White
Carol Ann Tan: “When people ask this question, what they’re really saying is that they feel entitled to what I have — that they want my opportunities and successes for themselves. Except they don’t want the part where everyone questions my ability to speak English fluently. They don’t want the part where people avoid socializing with someone who is so culturally divorced from the familiar. They don’t want any of the heartbreak or loneliness that also accompany my identity. In short, they don’t want the experiences that have informed my perspective.”
A Writing Workshop That Runs Itself – And Has Served 15,000 People In New York
“At the beginning of each session the leader gives a prompt, and, after the requisite grumbling and staring into the middle-distance, the whole group, leader included, spend 15 or 20 minutes in silence, scribbling in their notebooks. Then those who feel like it read what they’ve just written.” And feedback has to be positive, or it can’t happen at all.
A Casting Call For The HBO Adaptation Of Elena Ferrante’s Novels Brings Out Thousands Of Hopeful Italian Children
HBO and the Italian state broadcaster are producing an 8-episode miniseries of the first in Elena Ferrante’s millions-selling Napolitan cycle, “My Brilliant Friend.” They hope to cast two pairs of 8- and 15-year-old girls and all of their friends as from the neighborhood. “The result is an open casting call that has already drawn 5,000 children, the vast majority of whom have never heard of Elena Ferrante, and injected a mix of hysteria and hope into parts of Naples that are poor in resources but rich in real characters.”
