"A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE ‘‘ – Some shows are selling out, so don’t wait. Yes, the brilliant author Arthur Miller’s story and words are the stars here, but they would be lifeless without gifted actors, and the Ruskin stage is overflowing with them. A story of immigrants trying so hard to fit in, to the American fabric, in a different time and place but you feel you are watching your neighbors. Lead actor Ray Abruzzo ("Sopranos") is a force of nature. Fri, Sat 8 p.m., Sun 2 p.m., Ruskin Group Theatre, SMO, $20-30.
The times we are living in…. We can’t take anything for granted anymore; But doesn’t it get tiring to have to fight for everything, that shouldn’t need a fight. I think we should retire the phrase "no brainer." That concept has gone extinct.
