EVE OF DESTRUCTION

"...Yeah, my blood's so mad,

          feels like coagulatin',

I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',

I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,

ah, you don't believe we're on the

         eve of destruction..."

Written by P.F. Sloan, 1965 protest song

The movie is about how these superpowers affect them. The three high school seniors are: Andrew Detmer (Dane DeHaan), his cousin Matt Garetty (Alex Russell), and Steve (Michael B. Jordan). .....more

THE MOST FABULOUS STORY EVER TOLD     It was gratifying to see a packed house at the Duke Energy Theatre last night for the second performance of The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told. The production of this irreverent, yet oddly reverent, comedy by Paul Rudnick is not for those without a hardy, off-kilter, all-out sense of humor. Comedian Mel Brooks has said, "Humor is just another defense against the universe." Mr. Rudnick closely follows that line of thinking. In fact, this is one of the funniest shows .....more
