On September 9, 1971, two weeks before Fenton Johnson left his home in Nelson County, Kentucky, for college, the state police kidnapped and murdered a local renegade and pot grower from neighboring Marion County whom they had been unable to convict. No autopsy was performed. About the same time, his small hometown acquired its first doctor in years—a Muslim woman from Pakistan. Though Johnson was only seventeen, both events left an indelible impression. The murder of the marijuana grower fed questions about conflict between the free spirit and the constraints of the law—whether imposed by state or church—and the hiring of the doctor led him to wonder what it would mean to be a Muslim woman practicing medicine in the insular Roman Catholic Knobs of Central Kentucky.

It's Halloween weekend and every dramatic personage and theatrical type we've ever encountered is caught up in the annual rush to find just the right costume for their holiday revelries (we confess we've never had the knack for coming up with Halloween get-ups - not since we went in drag to a party at the First Baptist Church as the age of 12…tongues were wagging, we are certain, but we lived to tell about it, so it couldn't have been that bad). In the meantime, there are all sorts of onstage happenings this weekend to keep you otherwise engaged should the difficulty of selecting your costume prove to be too much.

The 1980s are often remembered as the era of over-produced power-ballads, bright neon colors, ozone offending hair, superficial beauty, and obnoxiously shallow people. For better or for worse, TOTALLY ELECTRIC, Gen Y Productions latest musical, falls victim to many of the least desirable traits of the decade that it sets out to lampoon. Fortunately however, the show, playing at The Abbey in Downtown Orlando through September 28th, is also buoyed by some of the decade's most hummable songs from the likes of R.E.O. Speedwagon, The Go-Go's, and Tiffany, with a little Reba McEntire thrown in for good measure.
