The Boston Modern Orchestra Project works to redefine classical music
With public interest in classical music dwindling, the Boston Modern Orchestra Project aims to step outside the Beethoven box. Founder and conductor Gil Rose chatted with us about the goals of the BMOP, the challenges the organization faces within the Boston music scene, and the recent release of two new self-published recordings: Milton Babbitt’s All Set and George Antheil’s Ballet Mecanique. See the BMOC in action on March 28 at the Boston Connection concert.
A look inside This Old House

The House Whisperer

Christine Tuttle has always had a soft spot for historic houses. The interior designer grew up in an 18th century tea captain’s house on Cape Cod, and now she lives with her family in a restored 1895 home in Dedham. So it was fitting that when the producers of This Old House were looking for a designer to help with a project, they called Tuttle.
Q&A: John Kuntz of SpeakEasy's The Whale
Speakeasy Stage Company’s next production is a big one—in more ways than one. Starting on March 7, they’re staging Samuel D. Hunter’s The Whale, a tragicomedy about a morbidly obese man making one last desperate attempt to connect with his teenage daughter. We chatted with the star of the show, John Kuntz, about smells, prosthetics and the fat suit.

Spank! Harder heats up the Wilbur
 Whether you love it or hate it, you've got to admit that the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy practically invites parodies—and there are plenty to choose from. Playing at the Wilbur on Sun. Feb. 23, Spank! Harder is the sequel to 2013's musical satire Spank! We chatted with Michelle Miracle (yes, that's her real name), who plays the author, "E.B. Janet."
Paul Wahlberg talks food, fame and family

Burger Kings

 As far as Paul Wahlberg is concerned, his brothers Mark and Donnie can have Hollywood; he’s perfectly happy in Hingham. The chef and owner of South Shore restaurants Wahlburgers and Alma Nove has never felt the urge to follow in his little brothers’ footsteps, so it’s a bit ironic that he’s now co-starring in a new reality TV show.
Big Top Talk with Circus Oz
 If The Three Stooges decided to multiply and create a circus company, it would probably end up being a lot like Circus Oz. The Australian company was founded in 1977, and its most recent show, “Cranked Up,” was inspired by the iconic "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" photo.
