Lots of news and reviews out there.

In honor of the first night of Hanukkah: there was a story last week on the theater schedule at the JCC.

More recently there have been reviews of:

• Theatre IV's The Velveteen Rabbit in the Times-Dispatch,
• Barksdale's Nunsense in the T-D, and
• RTP's Comfort and Joy in Style.

Style also ran previews of:

• the Henley Street / RichShakes co-pro of The Winter's Tale and
• the staged reading of Phoenix at the Firehouse.

If you've been following -- or are vaguely interested -- in the tales and travails of the Broadway production of "Turn Off the Dark," there are stories on:

• the preview on "60 Minutes"
• the pre-opening sale of $1 million worth of tickets, and
• the first preview that's been called everything from "bumpy" to "a train wreck."
