Babik "Birthday" Celebration
For the past year, local Gypsy Jazz Band BABIK has been performing every Wednesday night at Allen Street Hardware Cafe. (A little too late for most folks on a "school night".) But to celebrate their One Year Anniversary of playing at Hardware, Babik will perform a special evening show there on Sunday, April 30 from 7-11pm. This is a great opportunity for those early-to-bed folks who've been missing out to experience some Gypsy Jazz, and still get home at a reasonable hour on a school night.
Sunday, April 30th, Anniversary Party from 7-11pm at Allen Street Hardware Cafe, 245 Allen Street @ College, for what is shaping up to be a very special event. The band will be joined by each of the wonderful guest musicians who has sat-in with us over this past year... an incredible line-up of talent. But the fun doesn't stop there. Photographer Mark Dellas will turn the Hardware Store into an art gallery opening with his exhibit of photos he's taken of the band. If you're familiar with Mark's stylish photography, as exhibited in Traffic East Magazine and elsewhere, then you know what a treat this will be. Complimentary hors d'ouevres for the occasion will be graciously provided by Allen Street Hardware. And there will no doubt be an additional surprise or 2 as well. So circle April 30th on your calendar. It's an event not to be missed. -Babik

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am
