			<link>http://madison.com/tct/entertainment//301691</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The kids at the East Madison Community Center probably already are lining up to play &quot;Chopsticks&quot; and &quot;Heart and Soul.&quot; This morning, the charitable arm of the Madison Area Music Awards donated a Cabinet Grand upright piano to the center and is also working to develop a music education program for children there. This isn&#39;t any old piano. It belonged to the late Joel Gersmann, who founded and led Broom Street Theater for more than ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Click here to watch a slideshow of the Orpheum Theatre tour.  For more than 80 years, people in Madison have been able to saunter through Peacock Alley, pass under Goat Boy and head downstairs to walk past one of the Three Boys.  They just haven&#39;t known it.  Decades of movie and music fans have been inside the Orpheum Theatre at 216 State St. but probably haven&#39;t looked at it up close. That will change on Saturday when ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Attendees at the recent &quot;Rocky Horror&quot; theater production in Middleton showed up in leather and fishnets, but for &quot;Church Basement Ladies&quot; at Overture Center, the costumes in the audience were just a little different. Mary Ann Jarred donned a light blue apron and vintage hat with a metal whisk and plastic measuring cups dangling from her belt. In her purse she carried several Lutheran church cookbooks, including one with a salad recipe that called for a ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Mary Gaines and Chris Wagoner have been playing and touring with bands from Madison for more than 20 years, but recently they were looking for a steady gig. And they wanted to spice things up and not do the same routine every week.  So they created &quot;Mad Toast Live!&quot; -- a live weekly music, talk and variety show on Tuesdays from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Brink Lounge, 701 E. Washington Ave.&nbsp;  GOOGLEMAP2[300|maps.google.com/maps?f=q:hl=en:geocode=:q=701+E.+Washington+Ave.,+madison.+wi:sll=37.0625,-95.677068:sspn=44.339735,76.904297:ie=UTF8:s=AARTsJqex4sVuWn4zCihbFVGNJOI9xF8Zw:ll=43.089827,-89.37232:spn=0.018804,0.034332:z=14:iwloc=addr:output=embed]  They invite local, ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Four times a year, the world comes to the near east side. For that, Madisonians can thank Bob Queen.  As event coordinator for the Marquette Neighborhood Association, Queen organizes three of the isthmus festivals -- the Marquette Waterfront Festival, La Fete de Marquette and the Orton Park Festival -- and coordinates the Saturday music portion of the Willy Street Fair. If that weren&#39;t enough, Queen also organizes a six-week day camp for neighborhood kids.  And ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The sounds of Canadiana  The melancholy indie folk sound of Great Lake Swimmers has prompted many to label the band &quot;Americana,&quot; but frontman Tony Dekker is actually from the Great White North, so Paste Magazine properly coined the phrase &quot;Canadiana&quot; to describe the music. That&#39;s especially true on the Swimmers&#39; most recent album, &quot;Ongiara,&quot; which features 10 songs largely inspired by Canada&#39;s natural environment.  Fresh off a week conducting &quot;Folk Boot Camp&quot; at the prestigious Calgary Folk ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My male companion called it Hooters Light.  &quot;It&#39;s really pretty tame,&quot; said my old college friend as we took in the Tilted Kilt in all its sad glory.  The small restaurant chain, which first opened in 2003 inside a Las Vegas hotel and casino, hypes its scantily clad, knee-high sock-wearing, midriff-exposing female waitstaff.  &quot;In this day and age, you see a lot more skin at the beach -- or at the Madison pool. Let&#39;s be honest here,&quot; he ... ]]></description>

Tuesday night at the Frequency, the former Madison hip-hop and soul duo returned from New York City for a short and fun set of songs, many off their new album, &quot;Stand Up.&quot;  God-des got her start as a rapper in Madison, where she hooked up with soul singer She (aka Tina G.) to fill out the sound into a duo. They moved to ... ]]></description>

The Redmond Company of Waukesha is overseeing the project that will convert the former Carlos O&#39;Kelly&#39;s restaurant at 4718 E. Towne Boulevard into two new spaces. Carlos O&#39;Kelly&#39;s closed earlier this summer.  Plans call for a 1,200-square-foot addition to ... ]]></description>

The Peruvian restaurant is a welcome addition to the growing global food corridor on South Park Street.   Owners Daniel Rodriguez and his wife, Esmeralda Bascones -- who is also head chef -- pride themselves on serving authentic Peruvian foods. Though the country&#39;s cuisine is well-known in South and Central America, Peru&#39;s northern neighbors in the United States have been slow ... ]]></description>

It was the fifth anniversary of the electronic, industrial and synthpop music event, and that seemed like a good note to end on.  Besides, it&#39;s not like he didn&#39;t have other stuff going on. He works for the state Medicaid program, waits tables at the west side Tex Tubb&#39;s Taco Palace, spins at the Inferno Nightclub as DJ Eurotic, runs ... ]]></description>

The guys had just been to Summerfest and were pumped up to start their own music festival.   So with a month or so of planning, they put together a lineup of four bands that August in a friend&#39;s barn in Helenville, Wis., and named it &quot;Petestock&quot; in honor of their buddy Pete Bruckbauer&#39;s 18th birthday. ... ]]></description>

Every good hero, Casey says, needs a theme song.  The guy who knows the most about that could have delivered the line himself, if his character in the movie hadn&#39;t just accidentally shot himself several dozen times. That was Isaac ... ]]></description>

Truth be told, by this time of year I am ready for a steady diet of greens outside my windows.  As silly as it may seem, I&#39;m hitting the flower stands at the west side farmers&#39; markets as well as on the Square to add a dash of seasonal color inside my house with cultivated cut flowers. ... ]]></description>

And the chances are strong that this reading will occur at the annual Wisconsin Book Festival.  This year&#39;s festival, which runs Oct. 15-19 and is free and open to the public, has adopted the theme &quot;Changing Places,&quot; a description that the event&#39;s director, Alison Jones Chaim, says covers a lot of territory: from families to the ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ah, Restoration comedy. Bring out the masks; the schemes and intrigues. Show us the bustled skirts and blooming bosoms. Enter a world where women are either whores, wives, widows or hags, and men grasp and clutch to maintain the patriarchy.   Hannah Cowley may have been a woman writing in 1780 (incidentally, well past the heyday of true Restoration comedy) but that didn&#39;t make her a rebel. In &quot;The Belle&#39;s Stratagem,&quot; which opened this weekend ... ]]></description>

The third year MFA Scene Design major at UW-Madison has created a sweeping, striking set in the Wisconsin Union Theatre, inspired by art deco and meticulous in every detail. A performance on such a stage could seem like an afterthought.  Delightfully, when the company appears onstage they do not disappoint for a moment, clad in Rebecca Sites&#39;s beautiful ... ]]></description>

The Prairie du Sac winery recently learned that its signature Prairie Fume, a crisp, easy-to-drink semi-dry white wine, was a sweepstakes winner at the Long Beach Grand Cru International Wine competition in Long Beach, Calif., besting all other white wines at the prestigious competition.
