When you walk into the plain storefront that serves as the home for The Flying H Group Theatre Company, you have to do a double-take to make sure you're in the right place. A narrow foyer gives way to a larger back room, which resembles an auto mechanic's workshop. Meticulously detailed right down to the hand tools, cans of motor oil, and ads for car batteries, the set perfectly resembles the average American do-it-yourselfer's garage. This is the setting for Small Engine Repair, a brilliantly written tale of vengeance penned by playwright John Pollono, which had a successful Off-Broadway debut two years ago. Flying H's sensational production puts you front-and-center in the garage as an alcohol-fueled reunion between three 30-something former high school chums turns dark...really dark.

Leading English soprano Sarah Fox has been winning high praise for a string of recordings of late. Her last two classical CDs (a Vaughan Williams symphony CD for Sir Mark Elder and the Halle Orchestra on the Halle's own label and, more Vaughan Williams, 'Dona nobis pacem' for Andrew Litton and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra on Hyperion) were, variously, Gramophone Award-nominated, and named Gramophone Editor's Choice and BBC Music Magazine Recording of the Month. And her recent Cole Porter songs CD, for Signum, was picked by David Mellor as CD of the Week in the Mail On Sunday. Still, it isn't every day that one gets to record a leading role in an underperformed Mozart opera - so she was thrilled to be asked to sing Aminta in Classical Opera's Il Re Pastore, out this month from Signum.
