Creature Feature: Tony C Berrow
With the amount of bling already bedazzled to his body, it’s no wonder that Tony received the crown. “To win the pageant was shocking,” Tony says. “The pleasure of the whole pageant is that you get to meet so many other creative minds that are the same level as you, as far as being artistic in their different ways, which is fun.” … read more
Birds of a Feather: Avian Allure
Avian Allure is a Lyra (also known as an aerial hoop or a Cerceau) Duet performance group created by Andrea Hansen and Mandi Johnson. There is no denying the allure of these two beauties—they look like sisters, and they tell me that I’m not the first to think so. … read more
Gallery Stroll: One Gallery, Several Ways
The monthly gallery stroll is meant to be a time to relax and enjoy a leisurely stroll through art galleries—taking in the most recent exhibits, catching up on the local art scene, running into old friends or meeting new people. What if you focused on just one gallery, though? … read more
Wicked @ Capitol Theatre 07.09-08.24
Now that Wicked is back in Salt Lake, and Capitol Theatre is hosting the second in what looks to be a long line of sold-out shows, it’s clear that Utahns still have a hankering to defy some gravity. … read more
Gallery Stroll: Art Makes a City
What brings a city to life, and what gives it its heart? Historians and anthropologists credit community gathering spaces like libraries, schoolhouses and city halls. Typically, when I want to know about a city, I ask a city dweller. When you speak to a resident about the heart of the city, the conversation usually turns to merchants, restaurants, artists, theaters and performers—the makers and doers who make up the city. … read more

Land @ Jeanne Wagner Theatre 04.10-12
Attending Repertory Dance Theater’s “Land” felt like visiting an old house, the home of someone who’d lived in Utah a long time. She loved the idea of the West as much as she loved the landscape itself, and had surrounded herself with objects, books and memories that recorded a history of her sentiments. … read more
Gallery Stroll: Art Squared
If you want to see what someone is really made of, look into their heart. At the heart of Utah is The City Library, The Salt Lake City and County Building and The Leonardo, sitting in historic Washington Square, adjacent to Library Square. It’s used for everything from the Pride Festival to the Salt Lake City Marathon, from local open-mic performances to international traveling exhibits like Body Worlds at The Leonardo. I often find myself in this neighborhood, attending events, enjoying the library, or—yikes—paying a parking ticket, but for those of you who are not familiar with the Squares, let’s take a stroll. … read more
SLUG Style: Max Pain and the Groovies
Whether they’re out at Denver’s Psych Fest collecting weird shit like “trollops” (ask one of the band members about it) or decorating one of their jackets with pins and buttons found laying around the tour bus, the boys always feel at home in SLC, saying they prefer it to any other scene they’ve played in because of it’s low-ego, no bullshit feel when it comes to personal style. … read more
