Four Choreographers Share a Week at the Joyce Theater runs now through August 14th. If you are a dance fan, it's a great opportunity to check out four American choreographers. If you have a little dancer at home, it's a great opportunity to expose them to the creativity and limitless bounds of contemporary dance. Nonetheless, when you go, I hope at least the sound team on Bright Land gets themselves in order or else you will lose most of what you came to see. Tickets start at $10 and are available at 212-242-0800 or www.joyce.org.

Das Deutsche Theater, 1896 eroffnet, wahrt mit seiner uber hundertjahrigen Geschichte bis heute, und heute mehr denn je, die Tradition des Unterhaltungstheaters. 113 Jahre ist natu?rlich ein stattliches Alter, da ist es auch ganz normal, dass es an der einen oder anderen Stelle mal knackt, oder sprichwortlich mancherorts der Putz etwas bro?ckelt. Und wo der Mensch - der die- ses biblische Alter natu?rlich gar nicht erreichen kann - dann gerne mal den plastischen Chirur- gen bemu?ht, braucht ein Geba?ude die Handwerker.
