If it's *Stage Left* then why not have that on the left? I don't like the 
*You are here* part -- it's nice for navigation, but I think this sticks 
out too much.

You may want to zero out the image borders on the linked images since they 
are defaulting to the blue border. You may also want to adjust the link 
colors on the left since they are nearly invisible on the background.

On my monitor, the main content reads Season of <.br> Reserve Tickets -- I 
can see the enchantment further down after I scroll.

On your Now Playing section, the words are right up against the border. You 
might want to adjust the CSS there to give it just a little space. Also, 
what's Three Tall Women all about? Hopefully they'll give you some copy to 
put in there to kind of describe the play a little more.

I also notice you are not using a DTD -- according to reports I've read, 
some versions of 5+ browsers may render pages differently without the DTD 
(http://developer.apple.com/internet/_html/doctype.html for an example)
