Comedy in the kitchen
‘Church Basement Ladies’ cook up laughs at the Missouri Theater
The writers of “Church Basement Ladies” might have had a Jim Carrey “Number 23”-style obsession with the number 4. The musical comedy features four vignettes that each take place in one of the year’s four seasons. The play spans four years (1964-1967) and stars four loving but radically different ladies who slave over the stove of a Minnesota church basement kitchen to make four very special dinners.
A wayward path
Soulfly refuses to veer from its unique course
When most people turn 40, that’s usually the time they start pumping the breaks. Maybe stopping to reflect or even mellowing out a bit instead of falling back on their former wild ways.

Freshman makes impact for Jefferson
State basketball tournament notebook
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Jefferson coach Tyler Pedersen had a good reason for the smile that stretched his entire face while walking into the locker room at halftime. Freshman Ashley Chor banked in a 3-pointer to end the first half and give the Eagles a 27-18 lead. She finished the half shooting 5-for-8 from beyond the arc. Before Thursday’s Class 1 semifinal, Jefferson shot 24 percent from 3-point range. “No, I wasn’t surprised at all,” Pedersen said with a sarcastic laugh. “Maybe we’ve been saving all our 3s for this weekend.”
Jefferson girls smother Marion County in state tournament
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Jefferson junior Chelsey Merrigan noticed something pretty quick walking onto the Hearnes Center court. It has two hoops, a 3-point line and a lane. Merrigan and her Jefferson teammates acted like it was just another court beating Marion County 48-35 in the Class 1 state semifinals at the Hearnes Center.
Braymer can't hang with Pilot Grove in boys semifinal
COLUMBIA, Mo. — With Clayton Brown limited in minutes because of foul trouble, Braymer’s high-scoring trio became a duo, and no matter what James Schreier and John Haley did, it wasn’t enough to better Pilot Grove’s 1-2 punch. The Tigers’ inside-outside combo of guard Jacob Schuster and center Zach Glenn combined for 60 points.
Maryville comes up short in Class 3 girls semifinal
COLUMBIA, Mo. — No matter the offensive struggles, Maryville found a way to stay tantalizingly within reach of Mount Vernon on Thursday. That made the eventual defeat that much harder to take. Maryville shot just 30.6 percent from the floor and heavily relied on 3-point shooting. Despite making 10 from beyond the arc, the Spoofhounds lost 54-46 in a Class 3 semifinal at Mizzou Arena.
Eats: Barbosa’s serves ambiance along with Mexican food
Barbosa’s downtown restaurant is definitely one of a kind. Sure, there are plenty of restaurants that serve Mexican food, but how many are housed in “a fabled castle of fantastic medievalism?”

American Theater Arts for Youth presents ‘Wizard of Oz’
Living in Philadelphia, Laurie Wagman’s main knowledge of Kansas stemmed from the L. Frank Baum classic “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.”
The Shuffle: Sizable concerns
When we watched the 2010 Academy Awards a few weeks ago, we got to see the young actress Gabourey Sidibe experience one of the most memorable moments of her young life. The 26-year-old was nominated for an Oscar for her powerful performance in the gut-wrenching and inspiring drama “Precious.”

Kids live out storybook fantasies at Fairy Tale Village
There’s a reason fairy tales originally written hundreds of years ago are still popular among children. There’s also a reason why your little ones may be tugging on your hand, shirt or pant leg asking you to read one of those stories over and over — and over — again: They want to revisit a magical world they’d like to see for themselves. If they go down to Kansas City, they can do more than just imagine that possibility. Crown Center has built a place for kids to experience their favorite tales firsthand, and for free, with its Fairy Tale Village.
High school semifinal previews
Here are capsule-style looks at today's matchups.
Maryville turnaround complete as Spoofhounds make state tournament
Maryville’s four seniors underwent a steep learning curve in their careers. Starting as freshmen, they learned to play at a varsity level. Then they learned how to win. They learned how to be champions, and they learned how to overcome adversity. Those lessons combined to lead Maryville (25-3) to this weekend.
Step away from the green beer
For St. Patrick’s Day, get a true taste of Ireland with these beers and spirits
If you haven’t completely partied yourself out after all of the local and regional festivities last weekend, you may want to go out and have a few drinks for St. Patrick’s Day. But if you do, know this: Drinking a domestic beer in a green bottle doesn’t qualify as a firm grasp of the holiday spirit (or should we say, spirits). And don’t even get us started on the whole green-food-coloring-in-the-beer idea.
Braymer boys escape Jefferson charge, makes semifinal
Braymer escaped the Class 1 boys quarterfinal against Jefferson by the barest of margins on Saturday at MWSU Fieldhouse. Braymer’s John Haley fouled Clayton Schieber with 0.7 seconds left while the Jefferson sophomore guard attempted a potential tying 3-pointer. But Schieber missed all three attempts, and Braymer held off offensively starved Jefferson 48-45. Haley hit a 3-pointer to open the second-quarter scoring to break a tie, and the Bobcats never trailed again. Haley finished with a game-high 14 points.
