Strapped for traditional, stumped on sensitive, Marquette University tries colorful and goes for the Gold? Oh my goodness. Thirty-eight trustees of a major private university, give or take a few, spend two hours contemplating a pair of nicknames and vote unanimously for "none of the above," which just goes to show what can happen when adults have time on their hands.
One of the joys of living in a theater-flush city such as New Haven is that one has the (mostly) good fortune of watching skilled actors morph from one character to another so convincingly that the viewer must refer to one's program for assurance that the actor in question is indeed the same person in an entirely different role only a few months earlier. Presently, Kate Forbes is just that artist, assaying the title character in Oscar Wilde's 1993 polite social satire, "A Woman of No Importance," running through April 12 at Yale Repertory Theatre. Forbes, you may recall, played the self-anesthetized Kate in Long Wharf Theatre's compelling production of Arthur Miller's 1968 chamber drama "The Price" last fall. She has now traded in her tippling cynicism and square-cut coat for quiet desp...
Josh Ritter was all smiles from the beginning of Tuesday's 90- minute set at the 9:30 Club to the end - whether he was assaying a mordantly comic ballad about love in a missile silo or delivering a cover of Bruce Springsteen's bleak "The River." His enthusiasm was infectious; the near-capacity crowd hung on his every word. On acoustic songs, when he stepped away from the microphone and sang at a near-whisper, the rustling of handbags and clinking of bottles could be heard over the silence of the audience. Mr. Ritter is a master of quiet; he could stand a little more practice at loud.
There are all kinds of college experience, from the three-year whiz kid who knows exactly where she's going, to the chronically undecided, like Isthmus columnist Andy Moore, whose college experience was an 11-year odyssey. (See "Close to Home," April 14, 2006.) But thirtyish Eric F. Lipton was interested in assaying the garden-variety experience of the well-rounded undergrad at the nation's number-one party school (so they say). You can read about his impressions in "Underground Undergrad," our cover story this week. Learn new words like "sconnie" and "coastie." Find new ways and places to meet people, like Facebook.com, not to mention a plethora of campus bars. Experience what it's like to be crammed into an early-morning organic chem class, in case you've forgotten or never knew.
