Mondays are in general pretty paltry, but there are still a few good stories to be had...

Architecture

Public gets a say on Peavey Plaza
- MaryAbbe, Star Tribune
Landscape architect candidates will do public interviews Tuesday.

Dance

Dances with elephants, seeking truth
- Caroline Palmer, Star Tribune
This appealing but odd work at the Southern Theater attempts to show that truth is something that blooms in our minds.

Music

Kuerti plumbs depths of Beethoven
- Rob Hubbard, Pioneer Press
Ludwig van Beethoven didn't think small. Although the composer's intimate works for solo piano may seem sonic worlds apart from his stormy symphonies, they often sound like they're tackling similar big issues -- the nature of life, love, God and the universe -- but on a micro rather than macro level.

Theater

"Cowboy Versus Samurai" by Mu Performing Arts at the Guthrie Theater: Tofu con queso
- Jay Gabler, TC Daily Planet
I've seen many productions in the Guthrie Theater's Dowling Studio, but never has the crowd there sounded so much like a studio audience.

'Favre' fondue even funnier than last year's holiday revue
- Rohan Preston, Star Tribune
The Brave New Workshop serves up a deliciously funny offering.
