Books

Wills and Kate are already on the bookshelf - AP via Pioneer Press
First came the royal engagement. Now -- 10 days later -- the first book

Music

Laurence Cummings and SPCO do baroque beautifully - Rob Hubbard Pioneer Press

Theater

Sheryl Jensen helms 'La Mancha' at Teatro Zuccone - Matthew R. Perrine - Budgeteer News
If you're unfamiliar with this Broadway classic, it tells the story of Don Quixote as a play within a play, performed by Miguel de Cervantes and his fellow prisoners as he awaits a hearing during the Spanish Inquisition.

Visual Arts
