By John Farrell, Contributing Theater Reviewer

Sitting on a park bench should be an innocent occupation. Sitting there when there is a serial killer in your small Texas town may be a risk. But when Nancy (Karen Wray) sits there, it is more than just risky.

That Bill (Derek Long) is the Butcher — as the serial killer is known — is obvious; that he is a bit inept is also obvious. And that Nancy wants to meet him, to fill her own pointless life with the poetry he writes to his victims is the premise ofCatching the Butcher, Panndora Productions’ first play in Long Beach, part of The People’s Theatrical Collaborative Series, and a very funny take on all the serial killer TV shows out there today.

Dr. Rita Boggs the Right Prescription for Carson?

By Terelle Jerricks, Managing Editor

Rita Boggs is probably one of the smartest people in the room when it comes to policy. Ask her the definition of hydraulic fracturing, otherwise known as “fracking,” not only would she be able to tell you that its an oil excavation technique by which oil hidden in deeper strata of rock is released, she could discuss at length all the various studies on the impacts the process has on the environment. A trained scientist with a doctorate in chemistry, Boggs thrives on solving problems. And that probably big reason why she has stayed as involved in Carson’s civic affairs as she has.
