Ti-Ahwaga Community Players presenting ‘Gypsy'
Ti-Ahwaga Community Players is presenting Gypsy.
Gypsy tells the story of the world's most famous burlesque performer, Gypsy Lee Rose. It follows her rise to stardom as well as the role her sister and mother played in her success.
Zach Curtis is directing the show. He says the musical has a perfect plot and composition.
Curtis says golden age musicals such as Gypsy paved the way for a lot of modern Broadway hits.
'It's just such an iconic show. I think people who says 'Oh, I've never heard of it' or 'I don't really know it' would actually be surprised by how many songs in the show they actually know, they've just never realized that they know them. I think the storytelling is so compelling that this show really stands the test of time,' said Curtis.
Gypsy opens on Friday and will run through April 13.
Showtimes are at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 on Sundays.
Tickets are $33 general admission, $28 for students and seniors. To purchase, click here.

Actors With The Best American Accents
Part of being a good actor is being able to transform into any character, including being able to nail the specific accent a role calls for. Reddit user Improv92 recently asked which actors had such a convincing American accent that audiences were stunned they weren't originally from the US. Here are the ones who deserve applause for their award-winning (and realistic!) performances: "Robert Pattinson. My siblings were debating whether his real accent was the one in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire or Twilight. "Tom Holland." "Andrew Lincoln, aka Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead." "Cate Blanchett. First, I thought she was American, then I thought she was British, then I finally learned she's Australian." "Will Poulter." "I didn't know Colin Farrell was Irish for the longest time." "Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully." "Margot Robbie doesn't get nearly enough credit for her accent work." "Kelly Reilly as Beth from Yellowstone." "Christian Bale." "Ella Purnell! I was shocked when I discovered that the voice she uses for Jinx in Arcane isn't her natural speaking voice." "Melanie Lynskey." "Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House. I binged the whole series and only then learned that he's actually British, which blew my mind; he's just so good at it." "Toni Collette." "Damian Lewis. The first time I saw him in anything was Band of Brothers." "Rose Byrne." "Dominic West as Jimmy McNulty in The Wire." "Gary Oldman." "Minnie Driver. When I saw her in Good Will Hunting, I thought her British accent was so fake. Joke's on me." "Naomi Watts." "Theo James in The White Lotus and Divergent." "Isla Fisher." "Freddie Highmore." "Charlie Hunnam." "Cillian Murphy." "Millie Bobby Brown." "Idris Elba." "Emily Blunt." "Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us." "Joseph Quinn." "Nicole Kidman." "Hugh Jackman." "Milly Alcock in Sirens. She had so many small phonetic mannerisms down that I was shocked to learn she wasn't from the US." Now it's your turn! Which actor nails an American accent best? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Michelle Yeoh teases new songs coming in 'Wicked: For Good'
Michelle Yeoh is giving "Wicked" fans a sneak peek at the highly anticipated sequel. In a recent interview with People, the Oscar-winning actress, who plays Madame Morrible, hinted at what audiences can expect in "Wicked: For Good," which will arrive on Nov. 21. "I think you're getting some new songs," Yeoh teased, before joking, "I didn't say that." Fans of the Broadway show's beloved soundtrack won't be disappointed as Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the music and lyrics for the stage production, has previously confirmed he composed two new songs specifically for the film. "I have permission to say there are two new songs in the movie because the storytelling demanded it. One of them happens to be for the character of Elphaba. The other one happens to be for the character of Glinda," Schwartz told the outlet in June. Yeoh also shared that she and her castmates have remained close long after filming wrapped. "I was just at Hollywood Bowl [for] Cynthia," she said, referencing Cynthia Erivo's performance in "Jesus Christ Superstar." "I love her. She was so amazing." In June, fans got a special first look at the film's trailer, which featured Erivo and Ariana Grande reprising their roles as Elphaba and Glinda. Directed once again by Jon M. Chu, "Wicked: For Good" picks up with the two characters estranged and follows their journey to repair their friendship in order to save Oz for good. The film also stars Jeff Goldblum as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, and Yeoh as Madame Morrible. The first "Wicked" film earned 10 Oscar nominations at the 97th Academy Awards and won two, including best costume design and best production design. Erivo received a best actress nomination, while Grande was nominated for best supporting actress. "Wicked: For Good" hits theaters Nov. 21, 2025.

Robin Givhan Exits The Washington Post
Robin Givhan on Sunday announced that she took a buyout from The Washington Post, which has been offering packages to tenured staffers who have been at the newspaper for more than 10 years. Givhan, who joined the Post in 1995, served as its premier fashion critic before transitioning to senior critic-at-large in 2020 — where she covered everything from European luxury fashion to the role of personal style in American politics. Givhan briefly decamped to Newsweek as style and culture correspondent from 2010 to 2012 before returning to the Post in 2014. In 2006, Givhan won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism, remaining the only fashion writer to snag the award. In her Instagram post, Givhan said she'll be taking time to resume the tour for her book 'Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh,' that was released in June and chronicles the rise of the late designer. But she remained coy about her future career plans. 'There's still a lot to be said, and I'm just self-centered enough to believe I'm someone who needs to be heard,' Givhan said in her post. 'So I'm not done. Democracy definitely dies in darkness, but it is gravely wounded by silence.'
