"Bringing Down the House" is the sort of comedy that may provoke critical upheaval. Its hilarious scenarios are created by playing on classic black/white stereotypes and exaggerated cultural myths.Although one would admit this film's wild plot twists and happily-ever-after ending are foreseeable, if one is looking for light-hearted comedy (without considering political correctness) one is certain to enjoy laugh after laugh.Casting rap diva Queen Latifah ("Chicago") and Steve Martin (host of this year's Academy Awards) in costarring roles was a surprising choice, but this seemingly "odd couple" has amazing chemistry.

When students assembled in September to begin production on the Department of Theatre and Dance's "Birdbath," they knew their work would be memorable.The project, which cultivated the skills and talents of over a dozen student artists, is a multimedia presentation of Leonard Melfi's one-act romance, "Birdbath."
