Everyone gets their chance to laugh during this TheatreWorks show

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:24:15 GMT

Meredith McDonough was in for a happy surprise last month, when she was asked – in somewhat last-minute fashion – to step in and direct TheatreWorks’ holiday season production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.”“Originally, James Monroe Iglehart was directing this show,” McDonough explains. “Then, through his good fortune, the ‘Spamalot’ that he had been a part of suddenly announced they were going to Broadway during this time.”Ironically, Monroe was busy doing “Falsettos” — another musical by “Spelling Bee” composer-lyricist William Finn — in Minneapolis when she first fielded the call from TheatreWorks.Yet, she did have an opening in her calendar for November and December, so she ended up packing her bags and heading back out to the Bay Area — where she had spent four years serving as the company’s director of new works.“I am thrilled to be back at TheatreWorks,” she says.Theater lovers can also enjoy the McDonough-TheatreWorks reunion by attending “...

The Vikings are relishing Brian Flores running their defense as long as they can

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:24:15 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings stumbled to an 0-3 start, endured seven games without superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson and have started three different quarterbacks after king-of-durability Kirk Cousins went down with a season-ending injury.How, then, have they managed to maintain control of a spot in the playoffs with five games to go? That’s a tribute to Brian Flores, whose bold debut as Minnesota’s defensive coordinator will undoubtedly put him in the conversation for head coach vacancies around the NFL when the next hiring cycle begins.“I’m having a great time coaching this team. I am thankful for the opportunity to coach this group of guys,” Flores said. “It’s fun group to coach. They work hard. It’s important to them.”Flores has not only rejuvenated a defense that had been struggling for the last three years — and even through the first three weeks of this season — but served as a valuable confidant to head coach Kevin O’Connell as the Viking...

Unions in Wisconsin sue to reverse collective bargaining restrictions on teachers, others

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:24:15 GMT

Seven unions representing teachers and other public workers in Wisconsin filed a lawsuit Thursday attempting to end the state’s near-total ban on collective bargaining for most public employees.The 2011 law, known as Act 10, has withstood numerous legal challenges over the past dozen years and was the signature legislative achievement of former Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who used it to mount a presidential run.The latest lawsuit is the first since the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped to liberal control in August. But it was filed in a county circuit court — unlike other major cases that have gone directly to the Supreme Court since its ideological shift — and will likely take more than a year to make its way up for a final ruling.The Act 10 law effectively ended collective bargaining for most public unions by allowing them to bargain solely over base wage increases no greater than inflation. It also disallowed the automatic withdrawal of union dues, required annual recertifi...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:24:15 GMT

Stocks closed mostly higher Thursday as the market ended November with its biggest monthly gain in more than a year.The S&P 500 rose 0.4% after drifting between small gains and losses. The benchmark index rose 8.9% in November, its biggest monthly gain since July 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1.5%, while the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.2%. Both indexes also posted solid gains for the month, finishing with gains of 8.8% and 10.7%, respectively. The market marched steadily higher for much of November as investors grew hopeful that the Federal Reserve is finally done raising interest rates, which fight inflation by slowing the economy. Those hopes got more support with a report that the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation cooled last month.November’s rally was also driven largely by the technology sector, where several companies with high values tend to disproportionately impact the market. Microsoft gained 12.1% for the month, while Nvidia rose 14.7%. Also, Treasur...
