Breaking down the 35 college bowl games
SEATTLE – Some holiday traditions just don't seem to go away. You know, like fruitcake, atrocities in the shopping aisles on Black Friday, and an ESPN-generated manifest of postseason college football that runs almost to Presidents Day. This year, we have something called the Belk Bowl in Charlotte. That's not to be confused with the bilk bowls, in which schools are held to ticket allotments in a down economy, while some bowl executives pull down half-million-dollar salaries. A look at the bowl season that starts Saturday, in all its 35-game, overstuffed glory.
‘Time Stands Still’: A look at a seldom approached subject
Making its regional debut at TheatreWorks, Donald Margulies’s “Time Stands Still” brings us an emotional and seldom looked at page from the Iran and Afghan wars – or for any war zone for that matter. Successful photojournalist Sara Goodwin (outstanding Rebecca Dines) has barely survived a roadside bomb attack in the Afghan area. Brought home by her burnt out foreign correspondent longtime lover James (an inspired Mark Anderson Phillips) after weeks in a coma, her world has become a rocky place of frustration and doubt about her relationship and moving forward with her life as it was. The vulnerability of not being in absolute control is at times completely unacceptable. She has returned scarred with a leg and arm in a cast, and is dependent on others while she heals.
