Take
a stroll through A Mom's Life, a one-woman play
written and acted by Kathryn Grody. It tells the story
of her life as a stay-at-home mom, married to the famed Mandy
Patinkin. Grody hopes that after seeing this play no one will
ask the question, "Are you working now, or just staying at home
having fun with the kids?" At the Hult's Soreng Theatre. See
Friday Calendar.
Cheryl
Wheeler blasts into Café Paradiso with a double-barreled
performance of singer/songwriter talent. Wheeler's emotional
side delivers achingly honest songs of love and loss, while
her evil twin mischievously drums up funny social statements
and trend-defying melodies. See Thursday, March 20 Calendar.
You
may have only seen this man "making it really real" with Mya
in a Coke commercial, but Common has been influencing
hip hop for more than a decade. Known for his intelligent rhymes
and progressive style, Lonnie Rashied Lynn is truly an enlightened
emcee. See for yourself when the artist formerly known as Sense
brings his "Electric Circus" to the McDonald Theatre, along
with hip hop greats Gang Starr and Talib Kweli. See Saturday
Calendar.
