Fine dining with a twist. Yes, indeed, the brochure has it right. And what a twist... or twists would be more like it. Teatro ZinZanni is part cabaret, part circus, part improvisational comedy. All together, it's a wild evening of non-stop entertainment. When the four-hour evening came to a rousing...

Just when they needed it most, the San Jose Sharks delivered their most complete game yet of these young 2010 NHL playoffs. Nabakov gets a shut-out. Marleau scored. Pavelski scored again. And secondary scoring continued to shine, this time from Logan Couture of Ottawa 67's pedigree. Yes, my hometown pride...

Magic Theatre brings a strong season to a close with An Accident, a visceral and emotional story about recovery, memories and, even discovery of the self.

Summer love. Baseball. Drive-in movies. And music—plenty of it. Berkeley Rep might be onto something. First with the white hot, soon-to-open on Broadway American Idiot musical powered by Green Day and now Girlfriend set to Matthew Sweet's 1991 album of the same name, the Rep seems to be perfecting...

Verizon has officially taken the wraps of its plans to release the new feature-packed HTC Incredible smartphone. Available April 29th for $199 with a two year contract, it runs Android 2.1,  the latest version of Google's increasingly mobile operating system.
