Asolo Rep unveils 2024-25 season that limits traditional rotating repertory schedule

At the same time, Rothstein is limiting the Asolo’s traditional rotating repertory schedule in which actors would perform in two or more plays during the same period, and allowing tourists to see several plays in one week.

Response to app issue received three months later
My experience with ParkMobile is not a sterling one. On April 18, I wrote to ParkMobile after receiving an email from them saying that my account had been blocked “because of multiple attempts.” I had not used the app in quite a while. Someone was apparently hacking into my account. I received a response from ParkMobile on… July 20. Three months to resolve a problem with their app.
'La Bohème' finds love and glorious music in a dingy attic
Nearly two years elapsed between the first preview and opening night of Theater Latté Da's "La Bohème." It was worth the wait. Originally set to open the March 2020 weekend that COVID shut everything down, Giacomo Puccini's classic finally has arrived, reshaped so it sits somewhere between opera and Latté Da's musical theater wheelhouse.

LAST TUESDAY’S stunning rebuke by Maine voters of a utility transmission project has dramatic implications for Massachusetts’ clean energy and climate strategy.

In Defense of Massachusetts: Why the Bay State Is Leading in Efficiency
In early December, Matt Golden published an article at Greentech Media on why top-down efficiency programs don't work, singling out Massachusetts as an example. Instead of asking what’s wrong in Massachusetts, the article should be asking what’s right. The piece left out some important facts that are necessary to understand the whole picture. Massachusetts is first in the nation for energy efficiency for a reason.
Minnesota Opera's 'Fellow Travelers' fails to capture fright of 1950s 'lavender scare'
In 1950s America, more than 5,000 government employees lost their jobs because they were suspected of being gay. This sickening purge was dubbed "The Lavender Scare," and it forms the backdrop of Gregory Spears' 2016 opera "Fellow Travelers." First performed at Cincinnati Opera, the work had its regional premiere at the Cowles Center in Minneapolis on Saturday evening. Minnesota Opera's new staging played out within the context of Sara Brown's coolly efficient set designs.
Review: Sally Wingert soars as a librarian/detective in 'Underneath the Lintel' at Latté Da
Actor Sally Wingert furiously chalks these words on the walls of the Ritz Theater in Minneapolis as she rushes through the aisles during her solo performance in “Underneath the Lintel.” Underscoring themes in Glen Berger’s studied 2001 solo play, her emphatic act of theatrical vandalism gives specific meaning to the anonymous graffiti that people have written from time immemorial.

Minneapolis theater takes a shot at controversial musical 'Assassins'
Peter Rothstein had announced plans to produce “Assassins” when two events confirmed that it was the right time to stage the Stephen Sondheim musical about people who shoot presidents. The first was last summer, at a concert staging of “Assassins” in New York. “When they reached the line ‘Every now and then the country goes a little wrong,’ for a minute the show just stopped and people cheered,” said Rothstein, citing a song sung by John Wilkes Booth (“The Ballad of Booth”) in the show.

House energy bill must be scaled up
IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, Massachusetts has the opportunity to reorient the energy system away from risky over-reliance on fossil fuels and toward a stable clean energy future. The opportunity is created by two trends upending the electric power sector. First, aging power plants have become increasingly uneconomical, prompting a turnover of almost one-third of the region’s power generation.
Raiding clean energy programs will cost, not save, Connecticut money
Budget crises require tough, but necessary choices. They do not require self-inflicted wounds. Raiding $22 million from clean energy and efficiency programs funded by proceeds from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, as the proposed budget from the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee does, is a self-inflicted wound. Slashing these funds would undermine our economic competiveness and cost far more than it saves.
