I think it'd be tough to argue Clybourne Park isn't one of the best-written scripts we've seen in years. It won the Pulitzer, the Tony, and the Society of London Theatre's Olivier Award. Playwright Bruce Norris does an exceptional job of allowing characters to talk themselves

Mod Curio is run by the husband-and-wife team of artists Heather and Jon Almeda. Both are artists, and the classy little shop is tastefully filled with their unique art. Since the work is mostly functional and decorative - Heather's photographs being the exception - I would say

Russian composer Alexander Glazunov was only 16 when his First Symphony was premiered under Mily Balakirev. It's amazingly accomplished, tuneful and finely crafted. At only 45, Glazunov laid aside his Ninth Symphony, at that point a single movement in piano score, never to be finished. A contemporary of Strauss, Glazunov
