Theater: Garden District
“Garden District” combines two of Tennessee Williams’ greatest works into one unforgettable performance. The first one-act, “Something Unspoken,” deals with Cornelia Scott, an upper-class lady who refuses to speak of something she experienced with her secretary years ago. The second one-act, “Suddenly, Last Summer,” depicts Mrs. Venable, a woman planning her niece’s lobotomy in order to prevent the niece from revealing the circumstances of her son’s death. The stories, which are both haunting in their discussion of silence, denial and desire, exhibit the most poetic language and mesmerizing imagery Williams has to offer.

Film: Blues by the Beach
Jack Baxter set out to film a terrorist’s trial. What he ended up making was a film exploring Mike’s Place, a bar in Tel Aviv that brought together diverse people just looking to drink, dance and be together. Then Mike’s Place was bombed. “Blues by the Beach” explores the community of the bar before the bombing and the repercussions of the attack. It is a spirited film that keenly investigates its subject, and as the hummus debate swirls around campus, the film provides timely insight into the Middle East and Israel’s place in the tumultuous region.
