It's appropriate that Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac was once a church, as on Monday night, the club was turned into a house of worship for America's Blow Job Queen.
And that's not a derogatory term for Liz Phair, she wants to be your Blow Job Queen, or so she said on her debut album, 1993's "Exile in Guyville."

Every so often, there are children's stories that transcend their genre, that break free and soar above the mundane territory of small words and short sentences and paper characters.

One of the most remarkable aspects of a movie flop is that, one would think, even if the story and characters are the losers, maybe the film could muster some salvation through witty dialogue, perhaps a humorous joke here and there.

Each year, the Basement Arts program allows a full slate of student directors to have artistic control in mounting their productions.
After a couple of one-performance events, including a new installment to the popular "24-Hour Theatre," the Basement Arts season gets underway in earnest this weekend with "Shorties," which opens on Thursday. "Shorties" is the name given to an evening of four short one-act plays, presented by the four junior members of the Theatre Department's Directing program.Basement Arts gets 'Shorties'
