This week, it’s Dancing with the Stars‘ first-ever classical week, complete with a 46-piece orchestra, opera singer Katherine Jenkins, and hostess Brooke Burke dressed as Aphrodite. I wish I'd have known there was a dress code! Added to this array of classic culture-clash, is David Garett, a classical rock violinist, who opens the show doing an electric violin version of Beethoven’s Fifth.
Kirstie Alley takes a tumble on the dance floor and Ralph Macchio tumbles from the top of the leader board on Story Night on Dancing with the Stars. The celebrities pick tunes that tell a "deeply personal tale" and the competition becomes as much for the sympathy vote as it does for the dancing. “It promises to be an emotional night,” show host Tom Bergeron says, gleefully.
Heather is going to be sharing with KRL readers each week an overview of each Dancing with the Stars episode and her thoughts! Check back each Wednesday night.
This week's round of Dancing With the Stars was 'redemption night'. Producers were so upended last fall when David Hasselhoff was sent packing the first week, all of this season’s celebs got a second chance to impress judges and viewers Monday night, before one of them gets the hook on Tuesday.
Dancing with the Stars opened its 12th Season on ABC this past week, and did so with a group of run-of-the-mill "celebrities" called “dull” by the press. Without a Tom Delay or Bristol Palin-- or even a Cloris Leachman in all her octogenarian glory-- there probably won't be a lot of headlines written about this season to boost news circulation.
On March 11, the Kings Players in Hanford opened their first show of the 2011 season, the American classic Harvey. Heather Parish took a moment to ask a few quick questions of the production's leading actor, Sandy Brown.
Throughout the week we will be posting reviews of several of the shows being performed at this year's Rogue Festival in Fresno. Check back daily for new reviews to be added!

What's that? You say you've never been to the Rogue Festival in Fresno before? Hmmmm. . . I think it is about time you did. Don't let a little thing like the unfamiliar keep you from the adventure in art that is "Da Rogue". But, like any other cultural event that has evolved (this is its 10th year), it has its own quirks, etiquette and, of course, buzzwords.
