Reviews: 'The Little Prince' and 'Rent'

For all you folks who say there is nothing to do in "FayetteNam" when was the last time you went to the theater? A lot less expensive than NY and some are pretty good.
"Two plays with wildly different tones opened at area theaters over the past week.
Cape Fear Regional Theatre opened its 52nd season with "The Little Prince," a quietly reflective piece that asks profound questions about life in a deceptively simple way.
Meanwhile, Gilbert Theater got its 20th season underway with "Rent," a musical as brash and in-your-face as "The Little Prince" is subdued..........."
And don't forget the International Folk Festival this weekend.

Well...for my part, I can strongly recommend that nobody ever see Rent. Ever. For any reason. No matter how hot the chick is that wants you to go with her. It's truly not worth it.

I was seeing a girl for a little bit that was absolutely enthralled with Rent. Had the soundtrack and had seen it on Broadway. This was 98 or 99 so there was no movie out or any other real reference for me to educate myself. Years later I watched about 47 seconds of the movie and a whole lot of crazy behavior suddenly made sense. Damn was she hot though.
And don't forget the International Folk Festival this weekend.What next? Birkenstocks and Hacky Sack?:confused::D

"Editorial-Our Party: Folk Festival shares cultural wealth"

"....A more leisurely look finds the monthly Fourth Friday arts celebration incorporated into the festival, as it has been for five years now. From 7 p.m. until 9 p.m., the Arts Council's menu offers "a taste of Fayetteville's arts and cultural offerings, from gallery openings to artist performances" from its headquarters at 301 Hay Street.
Hay Street is at the center of Saturday morning's activities, too, as the Parade of Nations moves along its familiar route, a swirl of native costumes, musicians and dancers highlighting varied cultures from 10:30 until noon.
From there the celebration moves into Festival Park.
From 12 to 6 p.m. those who are able to pull themselves away from the smells and tastes of the International Cafe may be drawn to live performances on multiple stages, unique arts and crafts vendors, an area especially tailored to children's interests, or the Native American Cultural Showcase....."
For those who've never been - show up in time for the parade then amble on down to the Park and eat breakfast, lunch and supper all in different contries.
