It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Sandra Piques Eddy (far right) has made Cherubino, the precocious pubescent pageboy of Mozart’s classic opera The Marriage of Figaro, a staple in her repertoire. After all, the character was the focus of her master’s thesis in music performance at Boston University, where she decided that moving from soprano into the lower range of mezzo-soprano would better fit her voice.
“Before I switched, I was auditing some classes, and I remember hearing one of the [two] arias by Cherubino,” the Boston native says of the 18th-century opera’s famous “pants” role, where a female plays a male. “And I thought, what a great aria. I even thought it was a soprano aria at first. But I thought to myself, ‘That would be so fun to sing an aria like that!’”
Frances Richey worked through the anguish of watching her son go off to war in Iraq the only way she knew how: writing poetry. In The Warrior: A Mother’s Story of a Son at War, the reader discovers a mother’s love and a poet’s vivid imagery.

Sarah Walters is on a quest for love and fulfillment. So the Charleston debutante moves to New York City and struggles through a series of bad relationships in Katie Crouch’s debut novel, Girls in Trucks.
Crouch’s own story isn’t that far removed from her protagonist’s. Crouch is also a Charleston native who’s lived in New York, and admits to making a lot of dating mistakes.
“The book is autobiographical emotionally,” Crouch says over the phone from her San Francisco home. “I sort of took my life and then heightened it, because if I wrote a book about my life it would be pretty dull.”

Pablo Francisco has a way with words, or at least the sounds of other people’s words. His gift for impersonations has people thinking he’s Don LaFontaine, the now-famous movie-trailer voice-over genius. Francisco brings his fast-paced stand-up routine to the Punchline from Fri.-Sun., April 18-20.
Baur reads from and signs Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food Mon., April 21, 7:30-9:30 p.m. Borders, 3637 Peachtree Road, Suite C. 404-237-0707. www.farmsanctuary.org.
It’s hard out there for a vegan. And not because vegans or even vegetarians secretly crave the Wendy’s Baconater, but because their values clash with the established status quo.
Stereotypes of wan hippies and crazy-eyed activists undermine the concrete moral and ethical issues behind the animal-rights-based movements. It’s for this reason that the first few sections of vegan and activist Gene Baur’s compelling new book, Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds About Animals and Food, are slightly troublesome. Early on, Baur rightly notes that “we do, all too often, accept something – whether it’s a product, a piece of information, or food – because it taps into superficial desires or familiar habits and assumptions that are neither healthy, smart, nor in our or others’ best interests.”

When Clouds Clear (Sun., April 13, 7:30pm; Wed., April 16, 5 p.m.), directors and Atlanta natives Danielle Bernstein and Anne Slick offer a beautifully shot portrait of Junin, a small town in the jungles of Ecuador, where the residents band together to resist local mining development. Bernstein and Slick take an in-their-own-words approach to the film, and Junin’s residents display immense dignity when they speak of preserving the land for future generations.
