(Lowell, MA) It's so easy to get lost in the minutia of daily life – the food shopping and bill-paying – that you forget that you make your own destiny. That, in fact, your destiny is created in those very everyday decisions. And it takes an unexpected event, be it a stranger knocking at your window or an unexpected call from an old friend, to remind us. Homestead Crossing, currently playing at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre, is the story of just such a couple.

(Lowell, MA) In comic books, as in soap operas, you're always hoping your favorite super hero will finally get his/her romantic mate. It was such a relief when Lois finally slipped off Superman's glasses and figured out that Clark was a world-beater. And Peter Parker was always getting such a raw deal, even though he could have crushed his foes with his bare hands as Spider-Man, that it was a blessed event when Mary Jane finally noticed him.
