Chekhov & Western swing

Two recent stories:

"...they are supremely unlucky in love, and the audience is privy to miserable marriages and affair after affair. Years pass, children are born, careers take their course. The sisters simply live." Read more about a local production of Chekhov's ever-jovial "The Three Sisters" here (free registration required).

And, for fans of the North Georgia Folk Festival:

"'We were raised on a farm,' begins Mary Lomax. 'We'd work all day in the fields, you know, and then we'd come in and feed the horses, the cows, the pigs. ... After that, we'd go in to eat supper. And my father - we called him Papa - would sing those old songs every once in awhile. And that's how we learned to sing.'" More here (again, free registration required).

More on the way!
