Still 'Hangin' Tough' with the New Kids
My small 10-year-old fingers flew over the keypad as I dialed the phone number, heard the busy tone, hung up and dialed again.

She still 'hearts' New Kids on the Block
I heart Joey McIntyre. Yes, I realize "heart" isn't a verb. I'm reminded of that nearly every time I use it in front of a particularly articulate friend.

NOTESTER: Get wine, wisdom two days a week
You can head to Sel de la Terre's State Street location in Boston for primers on picnic basket favorites, roses and the ABCs of American wines (that's Anything But Californian) at their Wine Wednesdays.

Ex-Monkee at Chan's; laughter in the Garden
Two legends of music and comedy will be vying for attention in the southeastern Massachusetts-Rhode Island area this weekend, with former Monkee Peter Tork and his band at Chan's in Woonsocket and folk's Funny Girl, Cheryl Wheeler, holding court at the Rose Garden Coffeehouse in Mansfield on Saturday.

Oure Pleasure pleased to be marking 25th
ATTLEBORO - Something for fun. That's how it started out, a small group of relatively out of place singers searching for a vocal outlet and finding each other.

REVIEW: Bay Colony's 'Little Women' a big success
FOXBORO - The first act finale solo in "Little Women, the Musical" is called "Astonishing." And that pretty much sums up a universal feeling about this show currently being given a colorful, gala staging by Bay Colony Productions at The Orpheum Theatre.

REVIEW: You're 'Bound' to enjoy MMAS's latest
MANSFIELD - Maybe New England Repertory Company should just take on the entire Neil Simon canon of plays all season long, like Shakespere companies do with that immortal playwright's similar canon of 30-plus works.

REVIEW: Trinity's 'Paris by Night' an unconventional triumph
PROVIDENCE - I got lost at Trinity Repertory Company Wednesday night - lost in the atmosphere, the music, the rarified air, the superb performances. I was transported to another place; maybe a better place.

Behind the Curtain: 2nd Story hitting heights in Warren
WARREN, RI - Nestled in the north end of my very hometown, just two blocks from where I grew up in a three-story tenement, on the top floor of a former restaurant where I tended bar in 1989 for an old high school friend, sits a theater that is gaining legendary stature.
