By Liv Martin

Jose Dominguez never planned to show his intricate, colorful journal pages to anyone. But, there he was, at the opening of his first solo show in years Saturday night at the Public Functionary gallery.

Remember when “The Book of Mormon” was the biggest thing, and it was impossible to get local tour-stop tickets?

You can snag two rush tickets with a valid student ID.

Most notably, perhaps, Guadagnino’s film is now set in Berlin, with the Berlin Wall now located just across the street from the steps of the Helena Markos Dance Company.
