Free acting advice

It's happening now.

Eastern New Mexico University's Department of Theatre is hosting a student-run open theatre lab 7 p.m. each day through Saturday in the Studio Lab of the University Theatre Center.

It is free and open to the public.

Theatre and film students offer workshops on acting, directing and film.

It's a fact

Charlie Brown's father is a barber.

Kitchen tip

After making eggs sunny-side up, deglaze the pan with sherry vinegar, then drizzle the sauce on the eggs to add another dimension to the dish.

Today in history

On this day in 1984, New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen releases "Pink Cadillac" as a B-side to "Dancing in the Dark," and it would become the first and biggest hit single off "Born in the U.S.A.," the best-selling album of his career.
