On Sunday, August 18th, I attended A Tribute to Simon & Garfunkel at Theatre at the Center. The concert was presented by Al Swearingen & Jayne Kelli, a married couple currently living in Nashville.

*** Recommended  I have real mixed feelings about "Ironbound", the first production of Raven Theatre’s season. It was dark, dystopian and very intense, but really confusing. The story jumped back and forth in time leaving me wondering when was this, who is that person and why was he there.  Darja (Lucy Carapetyan), the central character, is abrasive, aggressive and angry, making it difficult to empathize with her.  The cast was spot on, however, especially Carapetyan who never left the stage!  3 Spotlights
