Valleyesque: Not Just Weird for Weird’s Sake

Walking into BookPeople’s signing for Fernando A. Flores’ new novel Valleyesque, I am among the last to arrive. Folks stand along the back row and only two seats remain right up front by the author.

Review: Alchemy Theatre’s Mack & Mabel

Watching a musical, any musical, is always a bit weird at first. As the houselights fade, the audience is abruptly transported from a world where no one sings and dances without cause or provocation (except, perhaps, at 2am on Dirty Sixth) to one where everyone does, and that takes some getting used to.
