For the incurable or reluctant romantic, man or woman, Renaissance Theaterworks reprises Gary Anderson's sensuous play Skin Tight. First produced by the women's theater company in 2004, the theatrical hour reminisces one version of a marriage over a lifetime. With the sparse scenery recreating a vision of somewhere in mid-19th century rural New Zealand, the production becomes an evening as the retro song claims: 'Love is lovelier the second time around.'

The Illusion Theater presents the recent off-Broadway production of NAKED DARROW April 3-12 at the downtown Minneapolis theater, located on the eighth floor of The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts, 528 Hennepin Ave. This solo piece, written and performed by Gary Anderson, is a provocative look at the legendary lawyer who took on racism, social injustice and the death penalty in the first decades of the 1900s. After each performance, leading legal experts will be on hand for post-show discussions focused on a variety of related topics, including Randall Tietjen, editor of In the Clutches of the Law: Clarence Darrow's Letters and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Scopes Trial scholar Edward Larson (Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion, 1997).

Hesburgh Professor of Catholic Theology Gary Anderson states, “Sin has history” meaning that there is a story behind the theology of sin. In The Story of Original Sin, Toews explains the emergence of the doctrine of original sin with the theology of Augustine in the late fourth century on the basis of a mistranslation of the Greek text of Romans 5:12. The thesis of this book is that there is a story behind the theology of original sin, and that story by the time we reach its classical formulation in Augustine in the late fourth and early fifth century is a long way from the beginning of the story in the narrative of Genesis. Toews suggests that it is time to move past Augustine's theology of sin, and embrace a different theology that is arguably more biblically grounded, and makes more sense in the postmodern West and the developing world.
