In 1920, two artists who held a large international exhibition in Berlin were arrested by the German government and brought up on charges of defamation of the Army. George Grosz and Rudolph Schlicter argued that their inflammatory works were merely practical jokes.

A good rule of thumb for remakes or rehashes, like Steve Martin's recently released "Pink Panther," is low expectations. It certainly is about time that this gem of a series was resurrected, but audiences that expect Sellersian wit and performance may leave a little disappointed.

According to theater lore, uttering the word "Macbeth" inside a theater will bring bad luck or even doom to a production. Inexplicable mishaps have plagued performances after the title of Shakespeare's tragedy of ambition and manipulation slipped from the lips of some unknowing actor. As a result of 500 years of superstition, a euphemism, "the Scottish play," is now used instead when an actor or director wants to recount his or her exploits inside a theater.

Or maybe worried that it's not even something that can be brought up in conversation - are they talking about vaginas? For once, people are, in fact, talking about vaginas - freely, openly and without consequence - thanks to AU's fifth annual production of "The Vagina Monologues."

Last night in his State of the Union address, the president used language to hide his meaning and intentions, rather than convey them. By manipulating language, George Bush was able to get Democrats up on their feet applauding, looking anxiously at one another, inadvertently supporting a ban of stem cell research, overturning Roe v.

The first thing audience members notice at the start of "Tattooed Girl," the world premiere of the Joyce Carol Oates novel at Theatre J, is the set.

Over fall break, I took a trip to visit my grandfather and his wife, June, in Detroit. June is a staunch Republican, and my grandfather has long since stopped challenging her. "It's amazing," my grandfather told me while June was in the kitchen getting him a fresh glass of water. "We can sit here and watch the same debate, but see two completely different things." He paused as she came back into the room and placed the glass next to him. He continued, whispering, after she left again. "I don't say anything though. She's completely crazy."
