‘My Name Is Rachel Corrie’ (Theater) Marya Sea Kaminsky plays Rachel Corrie, the irrepressible young American who lost her life attempting to protect a Palestinian family’s home in the Gaza Strip in 2003. Like the best nonfiction-as-art, what you already know going in is acknowledged in subtle, brilliant ways, like when, as Corrie nears her death, Kaminsky climbs on top of the set and looks down on the earth below her. She, of course, doesn’t know what’s coming. (Seattle Repertory Theatre, 155 Mercer St, 443-2222. 7:30 pm, $10—$40.) CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE

HAS AL GORE BEEN TO CINCINNATI LATELY? Because I’m visiting my brother here and drove the last hour or so through heavy snowfall. It’s freezing (literally) and it’s April. Ugh.Greenhouse effect? Global warming? Faster, please.
Nevermind the idiocy of urging global warming. This is merely another example of the Right’s attempt to cloud the issue of climate change. (See also: Drudge and/or Rush Limbaugh weekly.)
