		<description><![CDATA[Six episodes.  How do you hook a summer audience on a show about ballet in six episodes?  The truth is, the CW&#8217;s summer show had a built-in, loyal audience months before Breaking Pointe, showcasing Salt Lake City&#8217;s Ballet West, ever aired.  The question is, did they keep it? It would be unfair not to mention that Ballet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting news from Verizon today, announcing that they&#8217;re changing their plans to include shared plans across all devices. Got 3 devices? They now have a &#8220;Share Everything&#8221; plan for that. But it will cost you. Unfortunately, if you don&#8217;t have those types of devices, you kinda get screwed because your phone plan will likely go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“We’re extremely excited to finally bring the NOH8 Campaign to Utah”, said Parshley. “In 2008, Prop 8 had strong support from the Salt Lake-based LDS Church, resulting in national controversy and animosity towards the Church. Since then, Americans have largely shifted towards tolerance and equality, and while California’s same-sex ban is currently under federal appeal, six states and the District of Columbia now allow same-sex marriages, and five states now allow same-sex civil unions.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gethsemane has been my favorite song from JCS since I can remember.  The lyrics are evocative and emotional and to hear Ted Neeley sing this live was a dream come true.  No one can feel its power or embody Jesus’ pain, doubt, or resolve more than Ted who has performed this some 2,000 times throughout his career.  It was a moment, and if you need but one reason to see Jesus Christ Superstar in Park City, this is it.  And it’s the reason that I’ll be going back to see it once more before it ends.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people think that going to the ballet really sucks!  But in the case of  Ben Stevenson’s highly acclaimed  Dracula, that was pretty much the point.  Ballet West’s 2011-12 season opener  invited Salt Lake City right into Dracula’s lair, and what we experienced took our breath away!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love the depth that the character Dracula has. I love the individuality of all the Draculas --  Beau Pearson, Christopher Anderson and me -- that we can be such different Draculas. Whether it’s the insane Dracula, the blood hungry Dracula, or the controlling Dracula, there are so many different moods and dimensions to this character. This guy’s been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and you can only begin to tap into what you think are the emotions that he might have gone through and try to express them. It’s really amazing, the character development that you can do with this guy. And every day, playing with his character is different and changing, and it’s truly unlimited what you can do with this part as far as acting is concerned.]]></description>

There with Keith Lockhart at the podium, the third Pops conductor in the past 80 years, I was surrounded by history and the love and beauty of music.  The Pops will be performing 37 concerts in less than three weeks, and when the day is over, it’s only about one thing…the music!]]></description>

One Flew South sang many songs from Last of the Good Guys, and they sang many more.  They sang tunes from the Beatles, and they even sang Mellencamp’s Jack &#038; Diane, which they dedicated to me since we never connected at FarmAid! ]]></description>
