I sat down inside the 55-seat Dorie Theater at the Complex and started bopping along to the music, Gin Blossom's Hey Jealousy. I admired the set: It was made up of furniture with warm maroons and browns. It felt homey and inviting. A few other people trickled in while New Radicals' You Get What You Give played through the speakers. I thought to myself, Both of these songs are from the '90s. This is no coincidence. So I opened the program and noticed COLLECTED STORIES took place from 1990 to 1996.
