  1. "Punk Rock" Playing at Connecticut Repertory Theatre in Storrs

    The upcoming production of British playwright Simon Stephens' <em>Punk Rock</em>, playing at UConn's Connecticut Repertory Theatre until April 7, follows affluent boarding-school 17-year-olds William Carlisle (Connor Donnally, left) and Lilly Cahill (Alyson Danielczuk, right) as they deal with raging hormones, the pressures of exams, future uncertainty and looming violence in a post-Columbine world. (Yes, gun control is a central &mdash; and timely &mdash; theme running through the play.) Kristin Wold directs.

  4. Pollution Preventer: Rain Gardens Keep House Dry, Save Waterways

    When Denise Merrill moved into her new house in the West End of Hartford, she was unhappy to learn it had a wet basement. She was ready to call in a contractor, but a trip to a garden show suggested a remedy &mdash; a rain garden. Created in a shallow depression planted with native plants, the garden absorbs excess rain water and prevents it from entering the sewer system and the basement.

  5. Occupy Gatsby at Contemporary Art Galleries in Storrs

  7. Kosher in Connecticut: Where to Find the Real Thing

    Many people who keep strictly Kosher at home will adopt a "when in Rome" attitude when eating out, not limiting themselves to Kosher restaurants. (There simply aren't enough of them and besides, many Jews have a soft spot for Italian food.) However, the beauty of a Kosher-certified establishment is that rare treat of being able to take the food home... mmm, leftovers!

  8. Holy Food!: Kosher and Its Imitators in Connecticut

    What exactly is kosher? The short answer is a religious certification given to any cooked or processed food that an observant Jew is permitted to eat. A satisfying answer in detail is not easy, so a visual aid may help: picture three identical matzo balls, each floating in its own bowl of soup: one at Shuman's in Bloomfield, the second at Gold's in Westport, and the third at Michael's in Middletown. The first is kosher, the second is "kosher-style", and the third is just an unaffiliated bowl of matzo ball soup. In addition to these three states of existence, the matzo ball itself straddles yet another stratum of culinary holiness: kosher-for-Passover knoshing.
