Editor's Note: Neither Snow Nor Rain

In any issue of a magazine—or a newspaper, for that matter—there are countless things that can go wrong...

Brad Erickson Executive Director's Note: Mission Accomplished What does a tiny budget community theatre in the rural Central Valley have in common with a major regional art museum, or even a multimillion-dollar, downtown Equity company with scores of staff and thousands of subscribers?
Sam Hurwitt Sam Hurwitt's Editors' Picks: October 2011 The power-seizing, kinfolk-murdering, widow-’em-and-seduce-’em hunchback is such a gleefully vicious rogue that it’s easy to see why he’s possibly the Bard’s greatest villain and the work is among the most popular of his not-so-popular history plays.
Elana McKernan Elana McKernan's Editor's Picks: October 2011 Sometimes, when I stay on Facebook for too long, I think to myself, “If only you had sisters, Elana, you’d be living it up with them instead of sitting in your room, in the dark, like a technologically savvy hermit.”
Caroline Anderson Caroline Anderson's Editor's Picks: October 2011 The title of Marc Bamuthi Joseph’s new project, "red, black & Green: a blues," hints at the conflicting cultural forces at work in the multimedia piece.
Theatre Bay Area Staff Newsfeed: October 2011 A round-up of top news stories in the local theatre community.
Lisa Drostova Playwright at Large: Steve Yockey Originally an economics and international business major at the University of Georgia, Steve Yockey started writing plays at 25 and never looked back.
Clayton Lord Arts Marketing Trends: Think It, Do It Journalism has been at the core of Theatre Bay Area’s identity since it was founded 35 years ago, and I can’t wait to help us power forward into the future holding journalism as closely to our hearts as we always have.
David Templeton I'm Dying Out Here “I’ve never had so much fun watching people get killed,” says actor James Carpenter, describing his experience playing Donny in Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009.
Sam Hurwitt Never Mind the Handkerchief: Peter Sellars Talks Shakespeare, Toni Morrison and Desdemona I’m sure there must have been a time when “maverick” wasn’t a dirty word, before the 2008 McCain/Palin campaign pummeled it into gibberish. But like most labels, it was only ever useful as a sort of shorthand.
Clayton Lord Theatre on the Brain In 1993, a relatively short note in the journal Nature exploded all over the mediasphere. The note, by three neurobiologists from UC Irvine, was called “Music and spatial task performance,” and it described what has now become known as the Mozart Effect.
Velina Brown The Business of Show Biz: No News Is Good News Some people really don't like to read or talk about review of a show they're still performing.
Amber Adrian Going Glossy with FootLights Peter Finlayson has been in the theatre business a long time--and one of the most frustrating tasks of putting on a show, he's learned, is putting together the program.
Sam Hurwitt Keep an Eye On: Mina Morita Mina Morita has been busy.
