I saw a really wonderful play last weekend. It was amazing that such a deep and complex work was written in the 1920's. THe work marries the characters complex attributes to what is the final translation that you see from the actors on the stage. If you live in Evansville and have next weekend free I highly recommend you by a ticket. The student actors really give it their all in such a way that makes many professional production seem weak.
Six Characters in Search of an Author
by Luigi Pirandello
Translated by Carl R. Mueller
The most remarkable attribute of Pirandello's art as a playwright is his magical power to turn psychological analysis into amazing theatre. The sweeping gesture of six characters storming into a rehearsal and interrupting an already chaotic creative atmosphere serves as a bold opening to this striking allegorical work. This Puliter Prize-Winning author playfully investigates the paradoxical nature of human beings struggling to balance their desire for immortality against a yearning to truly live in the present. Heralded around the world as a masterfully written piece of theatrical genius, Six Characters in Search of an Author provides an entertaining reflection of our absurdly complex lives.

Squeak

No its not a mouse squeaking its a new computer language for Kids nad a very powerful one. Last weekend my son went to the University of Evansville for the Cub Scouts Engineering pin. Part of that Pin relates to computer engineering and they built a squeak porgram. It was amazing, it reminded me of Logo but after digging a little deeper I realized that this was a user friendly smalltalk engine. If you have a kid and wnat to start them on programming computers i highly recommend squeak at squeak.org or squeakland.org
