 The Kid Who Ran For President
October 21 - November 15
Magik Theatre
420 S. Alamo
Are you looking for a way to teach your children about the political system during this 2008 Presidential election year? "The Kid Who Ran For President" tells the story of 12-year old Judson Moon, who with the help and persuasion of his best friend, elects to run for President after deciding that he could do a better job. What starts out as a local interest story, soon catches the attention of the national media, and even forces Congress to lower the age requirement for a presidential candidate. www.magiktheatre.org |
 Winds and Words of War:
an Exhibit of World War I Posters and Prints
Through October 27
Central Library

The collection includes forty framed vintage posters designed by leading artists of the day to assist in the war effort. These unique lithographs feature famous images of patriotic themes and messages, including several created for international groups interested in supporting the war by cultivating recent immigrants and new American citizens. The words and text used, as well as the powerful imagery, convey the sense of urgency as well as the mass marketing effect of advertising a war for the first time in modern history. www.sanantonio.gov/Library |

SAN ANTONIO S.A. native will star on stage in 'Dirty Dancing'San Antonio Express-News Deborah Martin "Amanda Leigh Cobb felt "a little bit guilty" when she was cast as Baby in the U.S. premiere of "Dirty Dancing - The Classic Story on Stage," mostly because she didn't approach the audition all that seriously. "I was just having fun," said the 28-year-old native San Antonian, laughing. "I had a glorious time, and I laughed the whole way through because it was so outrageous to me; it was like nothing I had done before." TEXAS A tale of two cities' plans for art tourismHouston Chronicle (10/13/08) "Two nearby cities, New Orleans and Dallas, are counting on a surge in art tourism in the coming months. The contrasts, both in terms of the cities' respective draws and their expectations, are striking." NATIONALTen Things Theaters Need to Do Right Now to Save ThemselvesThe Stranger (10/07/08) Brendan Kiley INTERNATIONAL For Culturati in Naples, the City's Notoriety Is Outshining Its Beauty New York Times(10/13/08) Michael Kimmelman "Culture was supposed to be Naples's salvation, as so often is the hope in former industrial centers. The steelworks that drove much of the local economy had mostly closed by the end of the 1970s. The earthquake in 1980 compounded the misery. Then things looked up, for a while." Read More |
