Tourists: there's nothing like them. They crowd around old pieces of stone, polluted and picturesque waterways and buy overpriced kitsch to take home to their nearest and dearest. (Plastic pyramid snow globes, anyone? Or maybe a T-shirt with a photo of a camel in lewd karmic poses?)

When I was little, I knew what old was. My grandparents were ancient and my parents were pretty darn old. Once I entered elementary school, I learned all about U.S. history, and those founding fathers from the 18th century seemed incomprehensibly remote. How did humans even exist then? Did they talk like us? Did they breathe oxygen and like "The Boxcar Children" like me?

Set largely in the Christmas season, little gifts, little romances and big surprises abound in Arena Stage's musical play "She Loves Me," directed by Kyle Donnelly. The greatest treasure, however, is not the handsome old-world music box that Amalia Balash (Brynn O'Malley) proclaims to be "the voice of God," but the play itself.

In a culture of soaring divorce rates and cynical views on love, the themes of "The Beaux' Stratagem" are more than applicable to modern audiences. The playwright, George Farquhar, certainly empathized with the unhappily married. His own wife snared him by claiming independent wealth - a wealth she did not actually have.

AU's a cappella scene is typically defined by three groups: Treble in Paradise, Dime a Dozen and On a Sensual Note. Each is equally popular and equally dynamic, and audiences are usually only able to see one at a time. On Friday night in the Kay Spiritual Life Center, students and fans alike were treated to a triple threat of all three.

While watching a play about AIDS, one expects to be either depressed or bored. Everyone has seen something in high school, be it at a health conference or on a public service announcement, full of statistics and dire warnings about how to avoid contracting HIV.

Utter chaos is the best description of any showing of William Shakespeare's classic farce, "A Comedy of Errors." But in the case of the Shakespeare Theatre Company's latest rendition, the chaos has transcended pointlessness and evolved into well-controlled, carefully executed hilarity. Staying true to the Mediterranean aura of the original script, the play opens with a dramatic Turkish flourish - a mood that permeates the remainder of the play. From elaborately embroidered costumes to provocative belly dancing, the setting evokes unfamiliarity and exoticism compelling enough the make the implausible plot believable.

Miss summer? Now that the weather is finally starting to get colder, get a taste of the intensity of the sun's gold rays by wallowing in gold of a different form.
