THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT: Twenty years ago

Posted

“Guys and Dolls” was the featured musical at the Providence Performing Arts Center.

I miss the “mooseloaf” at the old Bugaboo Creek.

Stuffies Bar and Grill opened on Atwood Ave. in Cranston. I couldn’t find stuffies on the menu, but they did have stuffed peppers for $5.85 and stuffed chicken for $6.25.

Bob Burke’s Pot Au Feu still makes the best French bread in Rhode Island. We reviewed the popular Downcity restaurant 20 years ago.

Gary Oldman was back on the big screen in “Immortal Beloved,” the story of Beethoven. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy played an American boy and French girl who fall in love in the talky “Before Sunrise.”

If you thought “Dumb and Dumber” was bad, you should have sat through Adam Sandler’s “Billy Madison.” Thankfully, they didn’t make a sequel.

Academy Players offered Neil Simon’s simplistic “Fools” at East Greenwich’s Swift Gym. It starred Brian Mulvey and Jack Cameron of Warwick and Jeff St. Germain of Cranston.

The 3rd Annual Mardis Gras ball was held at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet and featured C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band, plus Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. Local band, Magnolia, opened the evening. All three bands are still going strong.

Perishable Theatre presented Camus’ “Caligula.”
