Skip One Movie, See One Play

Wednesday August 27, 2008
If you've never been to Actors Theatre to see a play, you might be interested in heading out there for the 2008-2009 season while you can get up to two $10 tickets as a first-time patron of the theatre. It's a great alternative to spending another date night watching a movie and no more expensive. These "Try Us Out" tickets are available by phone before the show or at the Actors Theatre box office.

The $10 tickets won't be available for A Tuna Christmas or Dracula, but there are plenty of other fantastic plays that are worth seeing this season, including Pride and Prejudice, A Raisin in the Sun, Glengarry Glen Ross, and A Christmas Carol. I highly suggest that you splurge and see at least one play at Actor's Theatre this year. I've been many times, and it's always an amazing experience.

Cast Your Ballot for the LEO Readers' Choice Awards

Tuesday August 26, 2008
I just finished voting moments ago. I love the LEO Readers' Choice Awards because the categories are actually relevant and diverse, unlike some of the horribly outdated and random Best of Louisville Awards categories. There are categories for best local website *cough* and best local writer *cough* *cough* among many, many others. This year you can cast your vote online, or you can find a paper ballot in the LEO.

The Highlands photo contest is sponsored by the Highlands Commerce Guild and is accepting entries through September 10th. There is a $5 entry fee that allows you to enter up to five photos. The photos must be of something in the Highlands: streets, people, architecture, etc. To read more about the contest or to obtain an entry form for your photos, visit the Highlands neighborhood website.
