“The creative design mind remains. That means design practitioners will remain an essential part of all successful productions in the live performance,...

Denver Holt, director of the Owl Research Institute in Montana, says the influx is due to the abundant population of Artic lemmings this year, which are the snowy owls' primary source of food.
