Entertaining 'Shrew' needs update

By Sheeba Madan · Sunday, June 6,2004 9:13 p.m.

The Monroe County Civic Theater's production of "The Taming of the Shrew" this weekend was an interesting melange of an early modern script with contemporary sets and costumes. Any modern-day production that clings to the original script of "The Taming of the Shrew," now informally classified as a "problem play," and frequently referred to as Shakespeare's comic paean to chauvinism, is going to be tricky.

Just before 8 a.m. Saturday, the Bloomington Farmer's Market was already busy. There were families with small children in strollers, gray-haired couples, single college girls and middle-aged couples. The market had opened at 7 a.m., and the early birds were leaving as the next batch of people arrived. The wares for sale varied from hardy rose bushes to organic meat, painted tin chimes to oriental lilies, honey, potatoes, lettuce and cheese.

Neither 'Right' nor 'Wrong,' just bad

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, June 3,2004 12 a.m.

It should be enough to just say that the new Skinny Puppy album is industrial, one of those genres that was really cool and edgy for a few months in the mid-'90s, but like other popular-for-an-instant musical gimmicks (ska, for example), it never went anywhere; its highest achievement was somewhere between Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral and KMFDM's Money.

Heat can't keep Hoosiers from NCAAs

By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Wednesday, June 2,2004 10:48 p.m.

With temperatures hovering at or above 90 degrees, IU men's track team's top stars qualified for the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the NCAA Regional meet this weekend at Louisiana State University. The best result came from junior All-American Aarik Wilson, who set a new personal best and school record in the triple jump en route to a second place finish. His mark of 16.91 meters, while short of the phenomenal jump of winner LeeVan Sands of Auburn (17.30), broke Robert Cannon's 1978 school record of 16.87. Wilson currently ranks second in the nation and will be a strong contender for the NCAA triple jump title. Freshman All-American and Big Ten champion David Neville finished third in the 400 meters. His 45.88 seconds puts him consistently running under 46 seconds and indicates a shot at running even faster at the NCAA Championships.
