Oddly enough, the most interesting personal observation to be pondered in Shatner's World: We Just Live In It is spoken, not by the titular William Shatner, but by Patrick Stewart.  In a television clip, a conversation between the two captains of the Starship Enterprise, Stewart explains how, despite his acclaim as a classical actor of the stage, he's quite certain that his role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation, is what he will ultimately be remembered for.  And he's fine with that.

An alternative to the typical holiday fare exists once again at the Kranzberg this year under the auspices of HotCity Theatre's Greenhouse Series and the SIUE Department of Theater and Dance, which offers up an unusual and entertaining look at the way human beings interact, and the psychology behind their actions and reactions, all filtered through the prism of the Stanley Kramer (best known for more socially conscious fare like The Defiant Ones) film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Or, something to that effect. All I know is I was totally engrossed and involved in the things taking place on stage during WHAMMY! THE SEVEN SECRETS TO A SANE SELF (and the images and quotes projected behind it), and it certainly helped that I listen to a lot of the music that was utilized for the show.
