		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED The story goes that songwriter Harold Arlen hailed a Manhattan taxi one rainy day only to have the cab driver serenade him with “Stormy Weather.” “Do you know who wrote that?” Arlen inquired. “Sure, Irving Berlin,” answered the driver. “Try again.” “Richard Rodgers.” “Nope.” “Cole Porter?” “Actually, I wrote it.” “Who are you?” asked [...]]]></description>

What&#8217;s different is that where previous shows about race centered around stereotypes of the Korean-American experience [...]]]></description>

However, &#8220;Mark the Encounter&#8221; has been in development for years (it shows), and so it&#8217;s possible there will be another incarnation in Chicago, though its creator plans to take it on the road before [...]]]></description>
