STEVIE NICKS and OTHER WONDERS Pring Must Be the Season for Stevies on the Las Vegas Strip

CP STEVIE_MAY_VEG 4/26/05 11:31 AM Page 192 CELEBRITY PLAYGROUND Stevie Nicks brings her legendary voice to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from May 10th to the 13th. STEVIE NICKS AND OTHER WONDERS pring must be the season for Stevies on the Las Vegas Strip. First, the whirling dervish of rock herself, Stevie Nicks, takes over the fabulous Colosseum at Caesars PSalace for a four-night limited engagement beginning May 10th. According to Nicks, “It’s basically going to be favorite songs, which you don’t always get to do. This is actually a chance for me to go back all those many, many years.” Fans can expect to hear some of the greatest rock anthems and ballads of the ’70s and ’80s from the fringed one’s days with Fleet- wood Mac, including “Rhiannon,” “Landslide,“ “Dreams,” “Sara,” “Gypsy” and the epic “Beauti- ful Child.” Likewise, her numerous hits as one of the great solo artists of the last two decades, including “Edge of Seventeen,” “Rooms on Fire,“ “Talk to Me,” “Bombay Sapphire” and the infectious “Stand Back,” will likely be on the playlist. Stevie Nicks is one of America’s greatest liv- ing rock icons (even inspiring New York’s annual Night of a Thousand Stevies party at the legendary Jackie 60 nightclub/cabaret), and is a phenomenon well worth experiencing live. A week after Stevie Nicks wraps up at Caesars Palace, 22-time Grammy Award winner Stevie Wonder will take the stage at the Man- dalay Events Center for a one-night-only bene- fit concert as the headliner of Tiger Jam VIII, Tiger Woods’ eighth annual fundraiser spon- sored by the SBC family of companies. It wouldn’t be extreme to call Wonder a Fans can expect to hear some of bona fide musical genius, as his music has shaped rock, pop, soul, R&B and funk. Songs the greatest rock anthems and like “Superstition,” “Another Star,” “My Cherie ballads of the ’70s and ’80s. Amour,” “Sir Duke,” “For Once in My Life” and “As” not only composed a good portion of the soundtrack to the ’70s and ’80s, but also con- tinue to serve as vital inspiration to generations of musicians to this day. —Michael Shulman KEVIN MAZUR/WIREIMAGE.COM May 2005 Vegas 37.

28 LIGHT YEARS from NOW by Rachel Bykowski
1 28 LIGHT YEARS FROM NOW By Rachel Bykowski Rachel Bykowski [email protected] rachebykowskiplays.com 2 CHARACTERS PRESENT JOSIE 47-48 years-old, identifies female, exists in the time of 1969-1970. MADDIE 20-21 years-old, identifies female. Josie’s daughter, exists in the time of 1969-1970. The actor who plays Maddie also plays all of 1930’s and 1940’s Josie. ANNABELLE 23-24 years-old, identifies female. Fran’s daughter, exists in the time of 1969-1970. The actor who plays Annabelle, also plays all of 1930’s and 1940’s Fran. SETTING The play takes place in: • A secluded field in the Midwest during the 1930’s and 1940’s that is renovated into an industrial parking lot in 1969-1970. • Josie’s kitchen and Maddie’s bedroom in 1969. • Fran’s old bedroom in a small town a few miles outside of Anzio, Italy in 1969-1970. The set pieces are minimal and should be easy to move on and off stage. The only room with a little more detail should be the bedroom in Italy. There’s a window frame draped with rose pink curtains and the bedroom should give off the hue of lavender. For the most part, the stage should be fluid, like space between time. TIME The play jumps between the past and present. The past is 1930’s and 1940’s and the present is 1969-1970. PROJECTIONS Any time there is a letter in a projection it signifies the letter was written sometime in the past. It could be a few days, weeks, months, or 28 years ago.
