BWW Review: I Believe! THE BOOK OF MORMON at the Paramount Still Shines
by Jay Irwin - January 04, 2018
God's favorite musical is back! This is, I believe, the fourth time the tour of The Book of Mormon , that juggernaut musical from 2011 (the Hamilton of its day) from the warped minds of Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame and Robert Lopez who co-wrote Avenue Q (as well as that little animated film Frozen ), has come through town. And the appeal of its crass humor, repeated gay jokes, and borderline sacrilege shows no signs of waning. I know I left the theater smiling and laughing and still humming the songs all the way home because underneath it all, it's still just a damn good musical.

Here are those stand outs, a few honorable mentions and a few special mentions about which I just couldn't help myself but to mention in their own special way.

by BWW News Desk - January 03, 2018
Join us in the BPA Gallery January 5 for an artist reception and an enjoyable evening of art and friends. Painting with her camera, Ms. Satterwhite captures light in a somewhat surreal and very imaginative, abstract way. The images are often mistaken for paintings, as she combines manual camera settings, motion, and natural light to depict a sense of graceful motion. They're offered as metal prints, canvas wraps, and acrylic prints. See more of Dinah's work at www.DinahSatterwhite.com.
