City Theatre invites us to "join the search for the nefarious Mr. Hyde." The theater has begun a promotion that begins not with a potion, but by texting "JEKYLL" to 79649. You'll then receive text-message clues that will take you...

Bravo to PBS for 'Chess in Concert'
When Adam Pascal was on his way to Pittsburgh in April with "Rent," I had the opportunity to talk to him, but I figured he'd been asked everything about "Rent" there was to ask. So we got to talking about "Chess in Concert...
