			<title><![CDATA[American Players Theatre takes on epic Henry IV]]></title>
			<link>http://madison.com/tct/entertainment/stories//294658</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ William Shakespeare, ever-beloved, constantly produced, feted father of the English language, conceived Henry IV in two parts.   That&#39;s because, whatever else it may be, it&#39;s a very long story.  American Players Theatre has taken the halves and condensed them into one, leaning heavy on the first part when the king is healthy and his heir apparent is a drunken disappointment.   Focusing on the father-son relationship makes the most of the characters&#39; humanity.  It&#39;s the first of many ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ When critics make up their lists of the most influential movies of the last 50 years, the same films come up again and again: &quot;The Godfather.&quot; &quot;Pulp Fiction.&quot; &quot;Star Wars.&quot;   Where&#39;s the love for &quot;Bambi vs. Godzilla&quot;?  The two-minute 1969 animated short, in which the beloved Disney fawn spends the first 119 seconds happily nibbling on grass, and the final second being squashed by a giant green foot, set the tone for generations of underground ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ What really scares the director who made the cult horror classic &quot;Re-Animator&quot;? If Stuart Gordon&#39;s nasty and corrosive new horror-thriller &quot;Stuck&quot; is any indication, it&#39;s not reanimated brain-eating corpses or other fantastical terrors. It&#39;s man&#39;s casual indifference to his fellow man.  &quot;Stuck&quot; does what any good B movie should, working its way under your skin with a mix of gory jolts and outrageous humor, while cutting uncomfortably close to the bone in its look at how ... ]]></description>

			<link>http://madison.com/tct/entertainment/stories//294270</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ This is supposed to be the summer of the &quot;stay-cation&quot; (we much prefer &quot;leave-cations,&quot; ourselves). And given that the mosquitoes have pretty much taken over the outdoors the past few weeks, one might be tempted to interpret the &quot;stay&quot; part as &quot;stay inside and watch &#39;America&#39;s Got Talent&#39; all summer.&quot;  But armed with the proper amount of bug spray, summer just isn&#39;t summer unless you get outside once in a while. And, fortunately, there&#39;s lots to ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Since 1939, sailing enthusiasts have tooled around Madison lakes with the Hoofers sailing club. In that time, the club has grown to be the second-largest inland sailing club in the country.   New members -- the only requirement is membership in the Memorial Union -- can take lessons from 78-year-old Joe Silverberg. Once a member has a rating on a particular boat, they have unlimited access to go sailing during regular club hours.   Silverberg was born ... ]]></description>

Especially since they co-anchor their household -- as husband and wife -- while working at competing stations: Franke at WISC/Ch. 3 and Sveum at WKOW/Ch. 27. By and large, their free time is too precious and fleeting for anything but family time. Particularly given the challenge of juggling their respective ... ]]></description>

That&#39;s a challenge, too, because he can go by awfully fast.  &quot;A lot of people are surprised. Some people are intrigued. Other people are like, &#39;What&#39;s wrong with you?&#39; &quot; the 15-year-old Madison East High School student said. &quot;There&#39;s a lot of mixed emotion.

After all, this is a writer best known for &quot;Chang and Eng,&quot; his critically acclaimed historical novel about conjoined twins.  &quot;Just because you&#39;re joined to someone else doesn&#39;t mean you know them,&quot; he said in a recent telephone interview.

But as the youngest in that generation hits 30, arcades are dying out as home video game systems take over. After 37 years of operation, the video arcade on the first floor of the UW&#39;s Memorial Union shut down in May. In its place, a Peet&#39;s Coffee Shop will ... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The ninth annual Madison Early Music Festival is pushing the definition of &quot;early&quot; music a few years later. By featuring the music of George Frideric Handel, all of whose works date after 1705, the festival straddles the cusp of &quot;modernity.&quot; The musicians are playing Handel&#39;s music, but like all the performances at the weeklong festival, they&#39;re playing it on the baroque instruments for which it was written.

Where you can buy frog-themed pajama pants, pimp hats and corn on the cob, all within a 20-foot radius.  With such prime people-watching along the shores of Lake Michigan, the music almost becomes secondary. Almost. Monday night&#39;s lineup had Summerfest&#39;s reliable mix of up-and-coming bands, solid crowd-pleasers and washed-up has-beens.
