When Pandora's box opened in ancient myth, evil flew out into the world. But "Pandora's Box," currently playing at Theatre~Intime, releases song, dance and entertainment into the Princeton air."Pandora's Box," an eclectic selection of performance acts, is the 2001 production by Muse.
March Madness is upon us, but for the film biz, it's not about winning a shiny golden NCAA Championship trophy.
Micah Baskir '03's production of Steve Martin's "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" is an extremely agile and nimble production that had the audience at Theatre~Intime in stitches for almost the full 90 minutes.The audience finds itself inside a lively, bohemian Paris bistro in 1904 at a chance meeting between a flamboyant Pablo Picasso and an earnest Albert Einstein."Picasso at the Lapin Agile" ? winner of 1996 New York Outer Critics' Circle Awards for "Best Play" and "Best Playwright." ? presents a glimpse into the lives of these rising stars before their defining works made them famous.One year later, Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity and three years later Picasso painted "Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon."Jeffrey Kitrosser '03 plays a convincing Einstein whose impassioned discussion of the beauty of formulas and the theory of relativity actually made this reviewer jealous of physics majors.Bearing a convincing physical resemblance to Einstein, Kitrosser first comes onto stage with slicked hair.
A violet flyer whips in the wind as dusk brings the weekend and another Thursday night. The poster unwrinkles, revealing a name that will cause some to brag and others to wail.
A review of a St. Louis production of "Millennium Approaches" ? the first part of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Angels in America" ? concludes, "A robbery attempt left me hospitalized for three days and therefore unable to review the second half."One cannot help but chuckle at this jarring inclusion of personal narrative.
In 1996, Tony Kushner's Pulitzerand Tony Award-winning play, "Angels in America," met with some resistance when a production was set to open in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Taste of Mexico 301 North Harrison Street (609) 252-1575 Lunch: $6 Dinner: under $10 Overall: ** Food: ** Decor: ** Service:** (satisfactory = * sublime = *****)Taste of Mexico, wedged into a corner of the Princeton Shopping Center, is the Borough's "other" Mexican restaurant.Mexican Village (half a block from the Princeton Medical Center) is larger, nearer to the center of town, and more popular with students, but those adventurous enough to wander a mile from campus will find themselves well rewarded by Taste of Mexico's fare.The sunglass-wearing owner, Fillipe Cruz, greets patrons with "hey buddy" as they walk through the door ? a friendly introduction to the chatty, if lackadaisical, service.He immigrated to Princeton from Oaxaca, Mexico in the early 1990's and found a kitchen job with the Olive Garden on Route 1.Three-and-a-half years of cooking Americanized Italian food later, Cruz became convinced that he, not to mention the town, would be better served if he returned to the recipes of his youth, and in 1995 he opened Taste of Mexico at its current location on Harrison Street.Cruz's menu offers all the staples of Mexican fare: tacos, quesadillas, tostadas and burritos in addition to a list of house specialties including sauteed steaks popular with Latinos who frequent the restaurant.On weekends, Taste of Mexico adds tamales, posole ? a creamy corn and chicken soup topped with mole sauce, and Mex-ican beef stew to its offerings.

It's pretty tough to miss the continent of Africa on a map of the world. But on the scaled-down map of the Princeton social scene, it's easy to ignore the offerings of different cultures, even the cultures of a place as grand as Africa.

In 1982, AIDS celebrated its first birthday. While scientists now believe that the disease had been present in humans throughout the Twentieth Century, it was not until 1982 that those four letters replaced such monikers as "gay cancer" and "GRID"?gay related immune deficiency?to become the all-inclusive acronym that is known across the world today.
Although residents of more northerly states first conceived restaurants built to resemble early 20th century railroad dining cars, New Jersey had succeeded in becoming the spiritual center of diners by their golden age in the 1950s.
Upon leaving this institution, few Princeton students can boast that they enjoyed their time here not just because of the long established clubs and activities on campus, prefabricated to fit into their busy weekly schedules and look good on their resumes, but because they were intuitive and energetic enough to make their own fun.Unless, of course, you happen to be one of the six graduating members of the band Scotch for Breakfast, who all cite their experiences with the group as both unique and irreplaceable.Characterizing themselves as punk metal, heavily influenced by the group Steel Reserve, Scotch for Breakfast has been entertaining Princeton audiences since they formed in spring 1999.Guitarist Christian Diegel '01 (fondly referred to as Two Tone) recalled how, as a social chair for Quadrangle Club, he needed to recruit a musical act for an open mic night, so he created one himself."Chris accused me of knowing guitar," rhythm master Jack Halliday '01 laughed, "and we practiced for a week and got three cover songs down.
