‘Beauty and the Beast’ is charming and delightful

If you want to laugh, if you want your senses to be drowned in spectacular color and sound, and most all, if you want to feel good, go see “Beauty and the Beast” with or without the kids. This production is more than the telling of the old fairy tale: It is an artistic conception that challenges the imagination and opens doors to ultimate creativity.

There comes a time in every woman's life when she is called “Ma'am.” For some of us (ahem, me) that time comes early. Much, much earlier than any of us expect (again, that would be me).

Coldest Gilroy Fourth of July in my memory. Geez, it felt like early November with the wind whistling over the west mountains with chilly gusts rustling the trees. Meanwhile, most of the nation sweltered in 100-degreeish heat and awful humidity. The cool breeze didn’t stop the illegal fireworks dumbkopfs who were out in seemingly greater force than usual. Something unfortunate is going to happen – an apartment building on fire, or a child hit with an errant bottle rocket – and that will be the flashpoint argument for those who want to ban fireworks altogether in Gilroy. And, again, the minority will tyrannize the majority who enjoy the legal fireworks and the show at the high school.
