Riverwalk Theatre's second production, "A Thousand Clowns," is still expected to humor and entertain audiences with witty jokes and outrageous punch lines - minus big red noses. The play stars Murray, an unemployed TV writer in New York City, who has too much time on his hands.
Sporting Spartan logos, green and white stripes and blaring the MSU fight song, the Cheat to Win (CTWz) van drives into campus, making its way toward tailgate utopia. Customized last summer, the CTWz's nine owners said the van was created to maximize the tailgating experience and embody the Spartan spirit. A labor of love, the van took nearly four months to complete. "We finally found a van in early spring that we could afford," said Brian Dennis, one of the van's co-owners.

Many people know Shakespearean plays have successfully been set in places such as Britain, Denmark and Italy - but who would've thought in the Caribbean? For the same reasons people loved the creativity of last year's MSU Department of Theatre production "Lysistrata," people will love this year's "Twelfth Night." The production opened at Wharton Center's Pasant Theatre on Thursday with a beautiful purple-hued backdrop against black, cutout palm trees - the unique and eye-catching setting looked as if it were to house any story besides one from the 1600s. The story begins with a shipwreck off the coast of an unknown Caribbean island.

When we first meet May (Anne Reid), she's a dowdy woman whose gray hair is thinly masked with a sandy brown tint and whose outfits generally are in hues of seafoam green.
