Stage | guardian.co.uk: There's a story about the famous actor Ralph Richardson, who, during a preview for a new play, stopped mid-scene, turned to the audience and demanded: "Is there a doctor in the house?"

This disorienting room has "gravitational mystery spots" that will literally make you sick
io9.com: The art installation seen here is named, menacingly but appropriately, Demon Hill #2.

IATSE Labor Union, representing the technicians, artisans and craftpersons in the entertainment industry: I know we are all tired of seeing political ads, but please take a moment to read this before you head to the polls today. Over the last few days political history happened in Columbus Ohio and IATSE Local 12 was at the center of it. Late last week our Business Agent filled a call for 65 stagehands at Nationwide Arena. As we are all aware, clients rarely choose to use IATSE 12 in Nationwide. However, this client was Youngtown based Forty-Two Inc., the AV vendor for President Barack Obama in Ohio, and his campaign had chosen downtown Columbus as the location for his last campaign stop before election day. Richard Shack filled the call with excitement.
