"Doubt"

I saw "Doubt," the final show of the Studio II Series at the Springer Opera House last night and am sorry I didn't last week so you'd have time to make plans to see it.

It's an excellent show with four very accomplished actors. Everyone in the cast is incredibly good.

"Doubt" just may be the best show I've seen in Foley Hall.

You can't say one actor was better than the other, though Jens Rasmussen was really,really good. Better than the three women. No. The women were also very, very good.

You have two chances to see it — 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday.

If you're tired of mindless television and remakes of movies, then go see "Doubt." You will not regret it.

For tickets, call 706-327-3688.

If you've already seen it, and don't want to wander around downtown Columbus tonight for Springfest, head to Callaway Gardens.

For the very first time, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra performs at Callaway Gardens in a free concert at 8-9:30 p.m. on Robin Lake Beach.

Directed by Mei-Ann Chen, the assistant conductor of the ASO, "Musical Evening in the Gardens" includes popular tunes as well as a salute to the Armed Fores.

The Beach Gate opens at 5:30 p.m. for the concert. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and a picnic basket for dinner under the stars. Leave your pets at home.

Can't make it tonight?

Saturday, from 10-11 a.m., the ASO Brass Quintet will perform "Music on the Green" in the John A. Sibley Horticultural Center.

This concert is included with admission to the Gardens.

If you're looking for flowering plants, the mountain laurel is still blooming and the rhododendron is just beginning to bloom, said Rachel Crumbley, the corporate relations manager.

Callaway Gardens is open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. daily.

Call 706-663-2281.
