bcalwell@cnpapers.com 304-348-5188 Note to audience members: When the curtain rises, please excuse Lukas Parsons beastly behavior. Keep in mind that off stage, Lukas is really a pleasant young man with a ready smile and a friendly, easygoing manner. On stage, though, things change.

This weekend, Lukas is making his debut performance with Childrens Theater of Charleston as The Beast/Prince in CTOCs production of Disneys Beauty and The Beast, Jr., a condensed version of the animated film and Broadway production. Show times at the Charleston Civic Center Little Theater are 7 p.m. Friday, March 11; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, March 12 and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 13. Tickets are $12 for...

The relevance of in every category and its prominence in the more cognitive realms of sight and hearing give it an intellectual dimension that moves beyond the sensuous and lends color to Thomas Aquinas's suggestion that - like truth, unity, and goodness - is a transcendental, allowing finite things, each in its own way, to point beyond themselves, toward a higher reality that none alone can encompass. (Such echoes of ethics in the terrain of aesthetics may help explain the power of negative capability in poetry or painting, and the play of moral tact in fiction.) Our love of is deeply personal, yet subtly social: others are asked to see what we see, or hear as we do.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS Kayla Tilley is about to participate in her fourth pageant, ever. Shes 22, a married mother, and an art education student at Concord University. Shes also Mrs. West Virginia, competing for the Mrs. America crown. This Thursday, Tilley and 50 representatives from every state and the District of Columbia will step onstage at the Greenbrier for the pageants final round of competition. The pageant held its preliminary round Tuesday night. A week and a half ago, these ladies were housewives. Their real lives are back home. This is Fantasy Island, said David Marmel, founder and president of the Mrs. America pageant. For them, its the seventh game of the World Series, he said.

Evelyn Waugh's complex narrative of conversion in Brideshead Revisited, about the multilayered process by which Waugh brings his disillusioned protagonist and first-person narrator, Charles Ryder, to embrace a Christian worldview. Here, White explores not so much what Waugh plainly rejects in this novel but rather what Ryder, and, by extension in this highly autobiographical novel, Waugh himself, find most tempting, what desires and passions are hardest to subdue.

Butterfly enthusiasts of all ages can marvel at these delicate insects that enliven our gardens and capture our imaginations. It's just something very magical in nature that you get to witness," says Don Torino, education director of the Bergen County Audubon Society.

In the Boise Art Museum's entrance hall the ambience is immediately, and literally, thrust in visitors' faces with Washington artist Vaughn Bell's installation of "personal biospheres" entitled Village Green. Clear acrylic terrariums, suspended from above, house miniature landscapes complete with soil and growing vegetation into which viewers can pop their heads through a hole in the bottom. It is a multi-sensory experience that invites visitors to get close to indigenous natural specimens and the processes of growth and decay. As a portable retreat from urban captivity, it sets the welcoming tone for a show that some might otherwise approach with apprehension. The sculptural component of the exhibit is both earthy and, well, feathery. Jan Hopkins vessels and basket-like forms from foun...

[...] when the BBC asked me to contribute to a television series on beauty it was expected that I would argue that there really is such a thing, that it is not just a matter of taste, that it is connected with the noble, the aspirational, and the holy in our feelings, and that the postmodern culture, which emphasizes ugliness, despondency, and desecration, is a betrayal of a sacred calling.
