The search for America's next greatest talent continues in New York. First up is The Flyte Cru, who I guess you could call basketball stunts-men. They use trampolines to do all sorts of somersaults as they shoot hoops. Their act is pretty entertaining, but I feel like I've seen it before, so I'm not very impressed. Judge Howie Mandel thinks the same thing and gives them a “no.” New judge Howard Stern has been surprisingly kind this season; he continues that streak and says he wants to see Flyte Cru move on to next round.

Saturday's NCAA tournament quarterfinal game against Denver in Annapolis should be a momentous occasion for the Loyola program. It will also be an unfamiliar setting. The last time the Greyhounds had advanced to the quarterfinal round was 2001. That year, they edged Georgetown, 11-9, in the first round before losing to eventual national champion Princeton, 8-7, in the next round. This season's Loyola squad is 15-1 and the top seed in the tournament, but relatively inexperienced in the postseason.

Stephen Sondheim's Broadway musical "Company" has a title that refers to the companionship provided by the main character's friends, but it also essentially refers to the acting company that's called upon to do so much singing, dancing and acting. In that respect, it plays to advantage that two of the couples in the enjoyable Silhouette Stages production at Slayton House Theatre are played by real-life married couples. The banter flowing on stage may have been rehearsed across their kitchen tables.

By virtue of being just one of two undefeated men's lacrosse teams in Division I and the consensus No. 1, Loyola has taken the stage nationally. But is the program prepared to do the same in Baltimore? That distinction has usually gone to Johns Hopkins, the perennial juggernaut that has captured nine national championships and is considered one of the sport's bluebloods. So how significant would a win against the No. 13 Blue Jays on Saturday at Ridley Athletic Complex in Baltimore be for the Greyhounds?

Royal intrigue at the 17th-century French court is still good for gossip in Lynn Nottage's 2002 play "Las Meninas. " It made a striking impression when it was staged at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in 2010 and there's now a strikingly similar production at Howard Community College's Rep Stage. Indeed, the connections between these two productions go way beyond similarity. Director Eve Muson, set and costume designer Elena Zlotescu, and several other members of the UMBC design team also worked on the current Rep Stage production; and five of the actors from the UMBC show are in the Rep Stage cast.
