  1. 'Cinderella': There's always a party at Chez Rossini

    Inevitably, our tastes change as we grow older. Most of the pop songs that once served as anthems are now exercises in nostalgia, calling up happy ghosts rather than anything new and urgent. The dense romantic adventure novel that we swore by in our teens no longer holds our interest, but we can lose ourselves in the hitherto-impenetrable nuances and shadows of Henry James. The sentimental sweetness of Charles Chaplin remains affecting, but we are increasingly grateful for the stoniness of Buster Keaton and the petty but hilarious cruelties of W.C. Fields.

  3. Steve Schapiro, a fly on the wall — with a camera

    Steve Schapiro wants to photograph President Barack Obama, and there is little doubt that he will one day do so. In his lengthy and star-studded career, he has photographed so many famous and influential people that one can almost believe he has Zelig-like powers. He appears to have been everywhere, shot everybody.

  4. The Grand Irrationality

    Variety
    Anyone who sits through Jemma Kennedy's "The Grand Irrationality" can probably come up with a pretty good reason why this new comedy had its world premiere at the Lost Studio and not 5,500 miles away at London's National Theater, where it was developed....

  5. Studios relying more on outside funding to make award contenders

  7. Best 2012 performances: Hampton Roads had several high points

    The performing arts scene looked a bit like a Busch Gardens theme ride in 2012, with lots of high points and a couple of strange twists and turns.

  10. Artist Steve McQueen's work is what it is: Not as it seems

    The celebrated British artist Steve McQueen has made two feature films in the past few years.

  12. Aug. 14 Primary: Day Of Reckoning

    The Hartford Courant
    This is the last time I will address you about issues related to the Aug. 14 primary, because the Courant does not allow us to write about the candidates on that final Sunday. This is a sound principle. Let us imagine that I wrote next Sunday: "Chris...
