Arts&Entertainment: December 5, 2002 'Tru' comes to American Stage
ST. PETERSBURG -- A revival of the Tony Award-winning Tru, directed by the play's author, Jay Presson Allen, will open at American Stage in January, en route to a possible New York run.

Setting the stage
A 12-year-old from New Port Richey with lofty acting ambitions has a prominent role on tonight's episode of CSI. "He has what it takes," his Los Angeles agent says.

Maverick band's latest CD is a 'Steal'
STEAL THIS CD?: System of a Down recently released Steal This Album!, the first disc of its kind to hit retail. The maverick Los Angeles hard-rock band of Armenian descent -- yes, parents, they are the guys with the long, spindley, braided beards -- scored with 2001's Toxicity, which topped the charts and many critics' Best lists. The band was miffed because unfinished outtakes from the Toxicity sessions that didn't make the album got onto the Internet, where fans could download them.
