The Sheldon Presents THE KINGSTON TRIO on 11/5
by Chris Gibson - October 05, 2010
The original Kingston Trio, formed in San Francisco in 1957 by Bob Shane, Nick Reynolds and Dave Guard, changed the face of pop music, introducing a new take on classic American folk music. Their 'folk revival' sound paved the way in the 1960s for groups such as the Limelighters, the Smothers Brothers and the Brothers Four, eventually inspiring the protest folk music of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Peter, Paul and Mary. In their heyday, the Trio's albums and concert performances were out-sold only by the Beatles, and their sound influenced the musical tastes of a generation.

BWW Reviews: New Line Theatre's Production of I LOVE MY WIFE
by Chris Gibson - October 04, 2010
With their funky and fun production of I LOVE MY WIFE, New Line Theatre begins their 20th season with a trip back to the swinging seventies, when the last dying embers of the sexual revolution were still smoldering in the suburbs. It was a time when collars were broad, chests were hairy, and polyester was the fabric of choice. And though the obvious reference point for some might be Paul Mazursky's 1969 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, the two are actually quite dissimilar, except for the fact that two couples wind up sharing the same bed. But, I LOVE MY WIFE is more concerned with friendships and making connections. New Line's presentation of this perfectly charming adult comedy is superbly cast and directed, and well worth your time and attention.
BWW Review: Insight Theatre Company's Production of PROOF
by Chris Gibson - October 04, 2010
In the academic world of mathematics 'proofs' are a kind of intellectual currency. If published, they can launch a career. But, they're rare and precious items, essentially the product of sweat and genius; the very essence of math. David Auburn's play, PROOF, examines this form of the word, but also visits upon many of the other meanings present as well. Filled with moments of drama, mystery and humor, Proof is a compelling tale that never bores, and Insight Theatre Company closes their season with a generally solid production of this clever and engaging work.
