Oh boy, this movie is a hot mess – a sort of waking nightmare, if you will. Obviously, we wanted to honor our muse, so this episode is a bit messy too. But definitely not a nightmare. Just good old fun at the expense of a little of our sanity. Honestly, you should listen to this just for the plot summary...a classic case of "We can't make this stuff up, folks!" and "We can't make this any funnier than the source material." You know what's also not a nightmare? Our Twitter. Total dream. Follow us at @aftertimepod.

Join us for this hot mess of an episode that ends with one of the most romantic scenes in tv history. We're talking about the absolute ridiculousness of Dawson possibly having control over ending Brooks's life, and the fact that Andy Griffith comes to say good-bye to Brooks. Jack and Jen have one of the best scenes of their friendship on the show, and then promptly ruin it. And Joey is awful to Pacey until she's very much not awful to him. Also, that fucking phone call.

I interviewed Ms. Katrina Hall of Philadelphia, PA. She is an actor, director, and playwright. She is Phoenix Theatre's 2021 Virtual Artist in Residence.Listen in as we discuss the production and the surrounding themes such as forgiveness, relationship, and how religion can sometimes influence us good or bad.Get tickets here: http://www.thephoenixtheatrepa.com./The play runs from Friday February 19-21st virtually!!In Hall's adaptation of William Shakespeare's, The Winter's Tale, abandonment, loss, jealousy, and redemption all play out in their Time, across the lands of Sicilia and Bohemia. The jealous King Leontes falsely accuses his wife Hermione of infidelity with his best friend, and she dies. Leontes exiles his newborn daughter Perdita. With time at the center of this story, audiences pick back up in the story 16 years later, where audiences meet Leontes' now grown daughter, who was raised by shepherds in her exile and falls in love with the son of Leontes' former best friend. In Hall's adaptation, Bohemia becomes a carnival. “It was the play's overall oddness that initially drew me in,” said Hall about adapting this work. “The way some of the turns were just so quick and outsized in ways you don't typically see even from Shakespeare. It also inherently struck me as a woman's play, which I am generally oriented toward. The challenge of centering that aspect of it really appealed to me.” She adds, “Among other things, The Winter's Tale is about jealousy. The way it is insidious in that it makes you believe you have clarity of vision, while the exact opposite is true. The longer it is maintained, the more progressively opaque your sight becomes. Here, in the King of Sicily's case, to tragically deadly results. For me, it is also about not only forgiveness, but what, if any, are its limits.Enjoy the interview. I will also review the show on the blog https://www.toitime.org

On today’s episode of The Literary Life, we wrap up our discussion of Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale with a look at Act 5. Our hosts, Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins and Thomas Banks also announce our next book to read together, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. Angelina notes that Act 5 is all about reconciliation and redemption. Thomas points out that Shakespeare had a challenge here in how to bring this play to a close with all those relationships resolved. Cindy brings up Paulina’s character and the significance of her name. Our hosts discuss the truth that though in an ultimate sense all will be made right, this play reminds us that in this life, there are some things that are not fully redeemed. They also talk about how Shakespeare plays with both the audience’s expectations and with the form in this act. Leontes’ imagination is also in need of redemption, and we see that happen here at the end of the play. Thomas makes the connection between the myth of Pygmalion, Euripedes’ Alcestis and A Winter’s Tale. The theme of resurrection is so prevalent in this final act, particularly in the case of Hermoine, but also in other characters and plot points. The winter is over, and spring has come to Sicily. The old order is not restored. A new order has been brought into being. Upcoming Events: We are excited to announce a new online conference coming on March 13-14, 2020. Our theme will be Re-enchanting the World: The Legacy of the Inklings. Our keynote speaker is Inklings scholar, Joseph Pearce.

Commonplace Quotes: An ancient rhetorician delivered a caution against dwelling too long on the excitation of pity; for nothing, he said, dries so soon as tears; and Shakespeare acted conformably to this ingenious maxim, without knowing it. William Hazlitt A work of art is a world unto itself, but all works of art belong to one world. Harold Goddard In all narration there is only one way to be clever, and that is to be exact. Robert Louis Stevenson Hermione in the House of Paulina by C. S. Lewis How soft it rains, how nourishingly soft and green Has grown the dark humility of this low house Where sunrise never enters, where I have not seen The moon by night nor heard the footfall of a mouse, Nor looked on any face but yours Nor changed my posture in my place of rest For fifteen years–oh how this quiet cures My pain and sucks the burning from my breast. It sucked out all the poison of my will and drew All hot rebellion from me, all desire to break The silence you commanded me. . . . Nothing to do, Nothing to fear or wish for, not a choice to make, Only to be; to hear no more Cock-crowing duty calling me to rise, But slowly thus to ripen laid in store In this dim nursery near your watching eyes. Pardon, great spirit, whose tall shape like a golden tower Stands over me or seems upon slow wings to move, Coloring with life my paleness, with returning power, By sober ministrations of severest love; Pardon, that when you brought me here, Still drowned in bitter passion, drugged with life, I did not know . . . pardon, I thought you were Paulina, old Antigonus’ young wife.

In this in-depth 301 episode, we dive right into the strange little mind of David Garrick, the famous 18th century Shakespeare actor and super-fan, and his adaptation of The Winter's Tale: “Florizel and Perdita.” We read a few scenes side-by-side for you from Shakespeare and Garrick so you can judge for yourself who did it better. Equally important, Jess sings a song (written by Garrick for Perdita), and we gossip a little bit about some personal and ShakesBubble happenings. Don't start this episode if you can't finish it… ;)

Tyrants and peasants and bears, oh my! Mary and Kara are talking all things Winter's Tale

This week on The Literary Life, Angelina, Cindy and Thomas dive in to Act 4 of Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale. We are excited to announce a new online conference coming on March 13-14, 2020. Our theme will be Re-enchanting the World: The Legacy of the Inklings. Our keynote speaker is Inklings scholar, Joseph Pearce. Go to Angelina and Thomas’ new website HouseofHumaneLetters.com for all the info and to register. This act is jam packed with action and important plot points, but Cindy points out the connection between the shepherd and his son and the tale that Mamillius was telling Hermoine in an earlier act. Angelina brings up the juxtaposition of winter and spring in this play. She also talks about how Shakespeare departs from Aristotle’s “rules” for unity of time and place in playwriting. This act is all about redeeming what was lost, and it is also full of disguises. Thomas explains the connection between Perdita and Flora. Our hosts discuss the wedding customs of Shakespeare’s day as well as the festivities we see in this play. Thomas gives us a little overview of the myth of Persephone and how A Winter’s Tale alludes to this myth. Angelina also highlights the importance of the kiss in the fairy tale. Cindy encourages us to read and re-read because there is such depth in Shakespeare that we can never get to the bottom of it all. We are also invited to look for the mirrors of the characters and action in this act to things that happen in the first three acts. Angelina also instructs us on the two classic fairy tale story patterns and how A Winter’s Tale follows both of those patterns. The Winter’s Tale Show Schedule: February 25: Act V March: Live Q&A for Patreon Fellows Commonplace Quotes: She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove, A Maid whom there were none to praise And very few to love: A violet by a mossy stone Half hidden from the eye! —Fair as a star, when only one Is shining in the sky. She lived unknown, and few could know When Lucy ceased to be; But she is in her grave, and, oh, The difference to me! William Wordsworth In the 12th-century Church of San Clemente in Rome, the brilliant mosaic apse over the main altar presents us with a view of reality that is both Cosmic and Eucharistic. The central image is of the crucified Christ, mildly accepting his suffering and death, his face full of peace. But spiraling forth from the foot of the cross, where it is watered by the blood of Christ, a stupendous acanthus bush curls outward and upward, encircling nearly a hundred separate images. The spiraling branches of the acanthus embrace even two pagan Roman gods, Baby Jupiter, formerly king of the gods, and Baby Neptune, formerly king of the deep, who rides a slippery looking dolphin. Even the ancient pagans have been redeemed, and their mythologies are usable by us. Thomas Cahill Whatever happens will be for the worse, and therefore it is in our interest that as little should happen as possible. Lord Salisbury You Ask My Why, Tho’ Ill at Ease by Alfred, Lord Tennyson You ask me, why, tho’ ill at ease, Within this region I subsist, Whose spirits falter in the mist, And languish for the purple seas. It is the land that freemen till, That sober-suited Freedom chose, The land, where girt with friends or foes A man may speak the thing he will; A land of settled government, A land of just and old renown, Where Freedom slowly broadens down From precedent to precedent: Where faction seldom gathers head, But by degrees to fullness wrought, The strength of some diffusive thought Hath time and space to work and spread. Should banded unions persecute Opinion, and induce a time When single thought is civil crime, And individual freedom mute; Tho’ Power should make from land to land The name of Britain trebly great— Tho’ every channel of the State Should fill and choke with golden sand— Yet waft me from the harbour-mouth, Wild wind! I seek a warmer sky, And I will see before I die The palms and temples of the South.

On The Literary Life podcast today, we join our hosts Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins and Thomas Banks to discuss Act 3 of The Winter's Tale by Williams Shakespeare. Before jumping into Shakespeare, though, our hosts are excited to announce a new online conference coming on March 13-14, 2020. Our theme will be Re-enchanting the World: The Legacy of the Inklings. Our keynote speaker is Inklings scholar, Joseph Pearce. Go to Angelina and Thomas' new website HouseofHumaneLetters.com for all the info and to register. After catching us up on the plot, Angelina asks Thomas to explain a little about the Oracles and Apollo and how they relate to this play. He also talks about the parallel between this play and the historical events surrounding Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Our hosts also bring out the importance of a legitimate heir to the throne in a monarchy. The idea of the consequence of an out of control imagination continue to be crucial in this act. They also talk about the sudden change in Leontes’ feelings and his repentance at the end of Act 3. Angelina points out that the structure of the play tells us that all this death and grief is not the climax of the story. Cindy brings up the Russian feel present in A Winter’s Tale. Thomas explores the characters of the shepherds and rustics in Shakespeare’s plays. They discuss the fairy elements as well as the gospel elements of the baby and the gold being found by the shepherds. Commonplace Quotes: “I think it was The Times Literary Supplement–and it had left me depressed. What struck me so forcibly, and not for the first time, was that a new book on any subject-history, philosophy, science, religion, or what have you–is always dealt with by a specialist in that subject. This may be fairest from the author’s point of view, but it conveys a disagreeable impression of watertight compartments… It wasn’t that people can think at once confidently and oppositely about almost anything that matters-though that, too, can sometimes be a sobering reflection. It wasn’t that they disagreed. I wished they did. What was biting me was the fact that these minds never met at all.” Owen Barfield Our Ford himself did a great deal to shift the emphasis from truth and beauty to comfort and happiness. Mass production demanded the shift. Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can't. Aldous Huxley A professor is someone who talks in someone else’s sleep. W. H.

This week on The Literary Life, our hosts Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins and Thomas Banks are back to discuss Act 2 of The Winter’s Tale by Williams Shakespeare. After sharing their commonplace quotes, they begin with a brief recap of the plot. They highlight the story begun by Mamillius upon the entrance of Leontes in Act 2, Scene 1. Angelina explores the concept of Leontes as a tragic hero. Our hosts also get into the ideas of constancy versus inconstancy, lunacy and the Renaissance view of women as changeable. Shakespeare, on the other hand, portrays a man as the one who is changeable and the woman as constant. As we continue through this act, our hosts highlight Leontes’ illness and how it infects Mamillius. They also talk about Paulina as a sort of foil for Leontes, as well as her strength of character in the face of the king’s unreasonable behavior. Cindy points out the unthinkable nature of Leontes’ desire to burn his own wife and child.

No one ever thanked him. I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he’d call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house, Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well.

On today’s episode of The Literary Life podcast, Angelina Stanford, Cindy Rollins and Thomas Banks talk about Act 1 of The Winter’s Tale by Williams Shakespeare. After sharing their commonplace quotes, our hosts begin by discussing the form of nearly ever Shakespeare play. They discuss the “problem” of the combination of tragic and comedic elements in this play. Other themes discussed are the presence of so many doubles in the characters, the way Shakespeare uses the setting, and how the kings represent their entire kingdoms. Cindy goes on to point out the way Leontes accepts the idea he has about Hermoine and Polixenes and runs with it. Angelina expounds on the way that people in Shakespeare’s time thought about having properly ordered mind versus one that is disordered. She and Thomas also highlight the way the Renaissance person saw disorder in the individual as connected to disorder in the universe. To close, Cindy also points out the way Shakespeare “plays” with words, so be watching for that as we read on!

Surprise! It's still winter! In part two of our discussion on THE WINTER'S TALE, we discuss hawk-based meet-cutes, double disguises, and post-apocalyptic springtime. Featuring TV and film star Margaret Colin, Shakespearean actress Jean Tafler, and an Act 5 mother/daughter reunion.

Welcome to our first episode on Shakespeare’s play A Winter’s Tale. Hosts Angelina Stanford and Cindy Rollins start off with some ideas of how to approach a Shakespeare play, especially if you feel new or intimidated by Shakespeare. Angelina talks about the use of poetry and prose in these plays, as well as the different types of plays within Shakespeare’s body of work. She also discusses the history and development of drama from the time of the Greeks to the Renaissance. James Banks joins the podcasts again to lend his perspective to our study of Shakespeare. He recommends the Oxford, Norton and Riverside editions for reading Shakespeare. He also encourages people to see screen adaptations, audio versions and, of course, watching a live play when possible. James also talks a little about the challenge of the older English language and how to deal with that as you read and listen. Our hosts also take a look at the culture and history surrounding Shakespeare and his theatre company.

This episode takes a look at the history of the use of the word "deliver" in relation to childbirth.   REFERENCES: Exodus 1:19. Retrieved from https://biblehub.com/text/exodus/1-19.htm Oxford English Dictionary (2019). Deliver. Retrieved from https://www-oed-com.erl.lib.byu.edu/view/Entry/49470?rskey=blB3K2&result=2#eid   TRANSCRIPT: Hi, so we are here today to talk about the word deliver. We touched on this a little bit in previous episode, number 18, with Rebecca Dekker. She is the founder of Evidence Based Birth and the author of a book called, “Babies are Not Pizzas: They're Born, Not Delivered. I had a little conversation with her during that episode about the use of that word, how she feels that it's very problematic and puts the birthgiver in a passive position, not an active position, and postions them as a passive recipient of care to be acted upon--delivered from some… from the burden of a baby, rather than being a life-giving agent giving birth to a child. So I had a little conversation on my Facebook group, Birth Words Community. If you are not part of it, go over to Facebook, type in Birth Words Community, and request to join us there. We’d love to have you. We talk about the power of words in relation to pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. So I had a little conversation in that group about the word deliver. And I said in this episode with Rebecca Dekker, it was brought up, she feels strongly about it. She talked about how she has family, I believe a brother-in-law, who doesn't see that it's problematic because he doesn't feel that it's used very often as the doctor saying, “I'm going to deliver your baby,” but rather the mother saying, “I'm going to deliver my baby.” Rebecca is troubled by the history again, that puts the birth giver in a passive position. So I wanted to tap into some other people and see how they felt about the word. And I got a variety of responses. Some said, “you know, I’ve never really thought about it and it doesn't really bother me. That's just kind of what we say.” And others were really passionate about, “I really don't like that word. Why did we start using it?” And others took a kind of a middle ground position saying, “I really don't like it if we say that a care provider delivers the baby or especially delivers the mother. But if we're saying it in terms of the mother is delivering her baby, the birthgiver is delivering the baby. That seems like an empowering use of the word.” So that conversation got me wondering about the history of the word deliver in childbirth. So I was thinking back, where do I know…what are some old texts that I'm familiar with that use the word deliver for childbirth? And the Old Testament came to mind. I know that that word is used in relation to childbirth. So I was in interested to look and see how it's used and what the history of that is. So the first instance, I think, in the Old Testament is referring to the Jewish people who are in bondage. And there's a decree from the pharaoh that all the babies of the Jewish people are to be killed. The midwives tell the pharaoh that, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women, they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.” And you heard in that translation, I said, “give birth.” That's the New International Version, which uses the words “give birth”. But in the King James Version, which is a more classical version of the Bible, written in the early 1600s… In that version, it says, “The midwife said unto Pharaoh, because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women, for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in and to them.” And that word delivered. It was interesting to me that that's different in these different translations as the midwives are saying, “These women give birth before we get there. So we can't do anything about following the decree to kill the sons of the Hebrew women.” The context of that story aside, which is an awesome story about midwives standing up for what's right…But let's set that aside and focus on the use of the word delivery here, delivered, because it's very interesting to me that in the 1600s, when the Bible was translated into the King James Version, the word delivery was used there. In the New International Version, though, says, give birth, not delivery. So I looked at the history of the Hebrew, the language, that of antiquity, that the Bible was originally written in. And as far as I've been able to tell, anywhere in the Old Testament, the Hebrew the verbs used to describe giving birth are specific to giving birth, bringing forth children. The word delivery also comes up frequently in the Old Testament, but it seems to have been introduced in later translations such as the King James Version. So in the Hebrew text the word used for deliver—as in delivering from evil, delivering from enemies, meaning to save somebody, is a different word. In the Hebrew text, a different word entirely was used than the word used to refer to the act of giving birth. And somewhere along the line, the two got commingled so that the word deliver was used for both. So let's see what Oxford English Dictionary has to say. The Oxford English Dictionary goes through the history of a word and its usage in actual context. So the first thing that I came across in the Oxford English Dictionary was that the word deliver means “to free, rid, divest or clear of or from.” And it did gives an example from 1632, to deliver, “deliver of her pain in childbirth.” Interesting. 1632 and we're talking about delivering from pain in childbirth. Interesting, okay. We've talked about pain, you can listen back to that episode for more on that, but here's the use of the word deliver in relation to childbirth. Then I scrolled down some more and came across this definition of the word deliver: “to disburden a woman (of the fetus), to bring to childbirth. In passive, to bring to give birth to a child or offspring. Rarely said of beasts.” And then, “the active use of the word is late and chiefly in obstetrical use.” Okay, that whole definition is just packed with interesting things. To start with, “to disburden of the fetus, to bring to childbirth.” So that is very much somebody else acting on the woman and “disburdening” her of the fetus. “In passive, to give birth to a child or offspring.” So you can passively be delivered. Prolematic. “Rarely said of beasts.” That gives me pause, like we don't really use that word. And historically, Oxford English Dictionary is looking back at the historical use of the term. It is rarely used when talking about animals giving birth, as if we have more confidence in their ability to do it on their own as active agents. Interesting. And then, “the active use of the word is late and chiefly and obstetrical use.” And that's the use that we talked about a little bit before. If somebody's saying, “I delivered my baby, that active use of the word, chiefly in obstetrical use. And I think that's an instance of somebody trying to reclaim the word that historically positioned birthgivers in a very passive position. Now these people, these women, are saying, and those supporting them are saying, “Oh, this is an active job that the woman is doing. Let's put her in this active role as she is delivering her child but still using the same word trying to reclaim it.” Okay, interesting. So, let's look at the history. The first instance that Oxford English Dictionary cites is in 1325: “Mary should be delivered of her child.” Again, dis burdened of her fetus In 1400… “We…This is kind of in like Middle English so it's a little tricky. But the word delivered again is used for “women are delivered.” 1480: “Again the time come that she should be delivered of her child.” We go into the 1500s and it says, “to have my wife with child safely delivered.” Shakespeare in “A Winter's Tale” in 1616: “She is something before her time delivered.” 1676: “The third time they sent and begged that I would deliver her” There's the doctor doing the delivery. And 1754 Treatise on Midwifery says, “a better method of delivering in laborious and preternatural cases…” That goes on, but this word was used. Again, the first instance we saw was 1325. Now we're in the 1750s. And it continues to give examples through the 1800s, both in medical texts and lay texts where the word delivered is used to mean “disburdening the woman of her baby.” I need to dig more into the history. And if you're a history buff, and you've got some sort of an inkling of why in the 1300s, going into the 1400s, throughout the 1600s, and all the way into the 1800s, this became more prevalent that we talked about being delivered of a child, whereas it wasn't before, send me a message. I want to hear your thoughts, hear about what you're thinking about this. Because I think a common perspective is that people say, “Oh, well when birth moved to the hospital, then people started putting power in the hands of doctors who were delivering babies rather than women who are giving birth to them.” But really, the decline of home birth happened more over the 20th century, in around 1900 is when we started seeing that shift towards hospital births. And this clearly predates that. So I need to do some more research. But that's what I've done so far on the history of the term deliver, delivered. I think it's interesting that in some circles people are trying to re-appropriate the term and say, “That has been used to put us in a passive position, we're going to reclaim it and talk about delivering our babies.” And that can be really effective for some people. And it's been done for various terms throughout history, like the term Yankee referring to Americans. The British used it as a derogatory term and it's been reclaimed. And there are many other examples of such terms. And that can be a really effective thing. But for some people, the only effective thing is to completely divorce themselves from the history of the term that has been used to put them in a disempowered position. And they want to use a different term. And I think that's also returning to the early use, as we talked about in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament and the story of the Hebrew women giving birth to their babies before the midwives could get there. That was the historical use. This word was not used for the word for delivering, being disburdened or saved was not used in the same context as giving birth. So for some, it is more powerful to return to that original intent and purpose and talk of giving birth, bringing life creating life, and completely separating ourselves from the use of the term delivery. So I hope that was an interesting little travel through times, courtesy of the Oxford English Dictionary as we looked a little bit about the history of the word, deliver, delivery in childbirth and why it has been problematic and what is being done about it now. I'm sure that this topic will continue to come up in subsequent episodes. I'm also preparing an episode where we'll talk about, in other languages, how do we say to give birth? And how does it affect the culture of birth in those places. So again, if you know of, if you have experience, giving birth or assisting or supporting somebody with birth, who primarily spoke a different language, I'd love to hear your thoughts, your perspective, your experience, about the different uses of the word. That's all for our episode today.   Transcribed by https://otter.ai

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 51st episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "A Night in SubUrbia," for my Friday Night Feature I talk about a comic British teen drama that turned up on disc 711 in my Classic Collection called "Skins," the show's second-ever episode, centered on Cassie, a teen girl with an eating disorder. In Cross Connections, I trace "Studio Six Feet Under" connections from "Skins" through "Game of Thrones" and "Dark Phoenix," Colin Farrell to a Capitol Shakespeare production I got to and "Parks and Rec" to "Superstore," "The Simpsons," "Brockmire" and 2020 presidential campaign efforts. In "Into the Vaults," I watch a commercial VHS copy of "SubUrbia" that's been sitting unwatched in my media collection since about 2010, highlighting heretofore unexplored portions of my media collection. In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I encountered "Battlestar Galactica's" pilot episode, noting the absence of the beautiful Sanskrit chant in the opening sequence for that one, highlighting similarities between my discovery of this series and my discovery of the 2002 Labor Day FOX marathon presentation of "24." Finding that episode gave me hope I'll find the pilot episodes of "The Middleman" and "Commander in Chief." Also, comments on "Psych," "Criminal Minds" and the "Raisin Brahms" Americans for the Arts promo. In VideoFuzzy at the Movies, comments on Kids in the Hall "Brain Candy," "A Night at the Roxbury," "Napoleon Dynamite," John Waters' 2007 production of "Hairspray," "Bee Movie," "The Full Monty," "Solace," "The Girl on the Train" and "Gone Girl." In my direct-to-DVD Current Collection, I've archived and cataloged all seven seasons of "Parks and Rec," noting the frustrating absence of the Funniest Line Ever Delivered in a Situation Comedy. Also, comments on "Pearson," "Archer: 1999," "Pose," "Claws," "Legion," "Psych" and "Full Frontal," featuring Samantha Bee and her Wacky Lists of Things! In Nerd Shows, I dedicated a disc to three two-hour PBS presentations of Roger Smith's "American Experience: Chasing the Moon," that production timed to observe the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Mission. In What I've Been Watching, I took in Capitol Shakespeare's production of "The Winter's Tale," and in Upcoming Shows, looking forward to "Preacher" and this fall's season of Bravo's "Project Runway" remix featuring Christian Siriano. Enjoy!
