A Worthwhile Investment: Naomi Greenwald, May 23 at Mojo's

By Jeff Ignatius

Many people lost a big chunk of their savings in last year's stock-market plunge, and that could have included Naomi Greenwald.

But before the markets tanked, Greenwald took her savings out. That money's now gone, but at least she has something to show for it: her self-titled debut album.

The Los Angeles-based Greenwald, who will be performing a free show at Mojo's on Saturday (in a duo with guitarist Jason Orme, who was part of Alanis Morissette's band), said that she has long been torn between school and music. She's 28 now and has just finished the second year of a five-year Ph.D. program at USC.

Hall of Fudge: New Ground's Chris Jansen Plans to Make Turner Hall a Home for Emerging Theatre

By Mike Schulz

"Everybody's like, 'What happened?'"

That's Chris Jansen, artistic director of New Ground Theatre, recalling a common comment received in the months after June's New Ground production of Living Here at Davenport's Nighswander Theatre.

It turns out that something rather monumental has happened with New Ground, as Jansen and her organization have rented the Village of East Davenport's Turner Hall, and are in the process of having a number of local theatrical groups join them there. But you can certainly understand the concern of Jansen's audiences, as one of New Ground's most recent pieces appeared to be almost frighteningly prophetic.
