The group Anuna is about to launch a 31-city tour of the U.S. in support of their new DVD and CD Celtic Origins, which were recorded earlier this year at Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland. Recently, we had a chance to chat with Anuna's creative director, John McGlynn.

Ever since cave dwellers threw on halter tops, men and women have sought to make what they wear more appealing.

Later this month, the curtain goes up on the Tony Award winning musical Drowsy Chaperone at the Palace Theater. Audiences in other cities have cheered the play’s elaborate musical numbers, but they may not fully appreciate the hundreds of man-hours that go into a show like this before a single actor even steps on stage.
