This weekend, Opera Theatre VCU will perform "Brush Up Your Shakespeare: A Gala of Shakespeare-based Opera Scenes" at the W.E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts.
With no fanfare and no introduction, a diminutive figure in an orange and blue beanie walks into the center of the VCU compass and puts down his guitar case. This unassuming young man was Justin Pierre, ringmaster of popular pop-punk outfit Motion City Soundtrack.
Four fast drum taps, an eerie, wandering keyboard riff and into the world of Julian Casablancas's new album, "Phrazes for the Young" you go.
The premise behind Richard Kelly's "The Box," starring James Marsden and Cameron Diaz, is simple: You will reward yourself $9.50 if you do not go see the film.
