  3. Her phyllo rolls were Elektra-fying

  6. Father and son, heart-rendingly on the road

    Dan LeFranc's penchant for playing with time and memory within the confines of family life first got a local airing last year in "The Big Meal," which won raves in its world premiere with American Theater Company (a New York production at Playwrights Horizons closes April 29). In "Sixty Miles to Silver Lake," LeFranc takes us inside a father-son road trip that straddles the yellow lines of love, fear, resentment, and forgiveness as it shifts back and forth in chronological time.

  10. The Chapin Sisters Bring Their Voices to Connecticut

    If you attended an alternative school where your music teachers were a bunch of aging hippies who taught you to sing old Elizabethan murder ballads and haunting Appalachian folk songs and to play baroque recorder music, and if your dad and uncle were well-regarded folk singers and songwriters, you too might end up singing tight harmonies with your siblings and forming a group that seemed to exist slightly outside of time. So maybe the careers of Abigail Chapin and her sister Lily — daughters of the singer Tom Chapin and nieces of Harry Chapin (he of "Cat's in the Cradle" fame ) — make perfect sense. Maybe we live in an age when musically omnivorous 30-year-old women can draw equally and naturally from the of-the-moment pop of Britney Spears, the spooky sibling harmonies of the Louvin Brothers (whose songs of judgment and grace and family were already anachronistic in the early '60s when they recorded them), and maybe the future is always a crazy re-imagined mash-up of the past anyway.
