I did not pay much attention to David Carradine until the recent news of his death sparked public grief and speculation. I can’t say that I’ve seen either of the Kill Bill movies, and his significance in the film Crank must have gone over my head. Despite having an indifferent opinion of this actor, however, [...]

The Stanley Theater in downtown Utica is kicking off its summer series with an off-Broadway performance of Jekyll & Hyde: Resurrection. The play, which opened on Broadway in 2001 to trickle-sized audiences after recieving less than stellar reviews, caught the attention of well-heeled Stanley donor and Utica socialite Count Olaf Talerico.
