Halloween to the extreme
Without question, one of the modern Oklahoma music scene’s greatest institutions is My So-Called Band, the “mostly” 90s cover act that packs rooms and picks at nostalgia all over the state, prompting the kind of full-throated, drunken singalongs most major acts can only dream of. As raucous and radical as an average MSCB show can…
Cover of night
It was a dark and stormy night. Kinda. The rains had slacked off but the cooler temperatures hung around at Lost Lakes, 3501 NE 10th St., by the time the actors arrived to start suiting up. “Suiting up,” of course, meant putting on a myriad of costumes and being caked with makeup for the third…
To Hades and back
“Come see how the world could be, in spite of the way that it is,” croons Hermes, luring the audience in with flowery promises.

Originally produced in 2007, Hadestown was an off-Broadway…

One nonpartisan poll by News9 shows Joy Hofmeister ahead of Kevin by nearly 4 percentage points while a poll from Libertarian Party candidate Natalie Bruno’s campaign puts Hofmeister ahead by more than…
House of ideas
2020 saw a loss of jobs, of homes, of community, and for many even the loss of access to their own art and creativity. Amy Young, owner and founder of art school and community center SixTwelve in the Paseo, nearly lost all of those things and more. “I had to choose between selling my house…
Well, it’s happened again. A piece of Oklahoma City architectural history is now a pile of rubble.
Well, it’s happened again. A piece of Oklahoma City architectural history is now a pile of rubble. With last minute/first minute demolition plans filed to raze the First Christian Church at the intersection of NW 36th and Walker Avenue, another building joins the litany of tombstones from Stage Center to Founders National Bank that have…
The Great Reversal
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….” Republicans and Democrats had very different views when it came to answering an ancient ethical question: Which matters most in a leader, conduct or character? Republicans could once be depended upon to stress the issue of character. Is the candidate trustworthy? Does she have integrity?…
