As part of the 25th annual Outfest, director Pilar Prassas’ moving documentary debut In Sickness and In Health will screen tomorrow and Sunday.

So last weekend I finally made it out to catch Shakespeare By The Sea, after being invited a few times last year and not being able to get my act together. (Unintended, sorry.) This one was The Taming of The Shrew, the only version of which I can confess to seeing is the Moonlighting version. But hey, it made me laugh.
