City Repertory Theatre stages “Wait Until Dark” at 3 p.m. in CRT’s black box theater at City Marketplace, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite B207, Palm Coast. Tickets: $20 adults, $15 students, available online at eventbrite.com, by calling 386-585-9415, or at the venue just before showtime. True to part of its mission, City Repertory Theatre once again is offering a play that is typically off the radar of the local theater scene: a genuine, suspense-filled thriller. Susy has just been blinded in a car crash. While Susy’s husband Sam is away, three sadistic thugs track a heroin-stuffed doll they’re looking for to Susy’s apartment. A harrowing cat-and-mouse game ensues and soon involves Gloria, a young girl who lives in a nearby apartment. See Rick de Yampert’s preview, “Justice Blinded and a Heroin-Stuffed Doll Spark Thrills in City Repertory Theatre’s ‘Wait Until Dark.’”
Notably: Gandhi was assassinated on this day in 1948, by a Hindu extremist. (When have you ever heard of a moderate assassinating anybody?) It is also the 54th anniversary of the beginning of the Tet offensive in Vietnam.

“All the people you saw on the streets in Reno were obviously there to get divorces. You could tell by the look in their eyes. You felt like stopping each one and asking, ‘Why couldn’t you get along with him?’ And yet, when you checked up, you found that was just the way they looked. There was a fairly constant year-round population of around three hundred people putting in their six weeks’ residence. Many of these stayed at a dude ranch outside of town, so there were maybe no more than two hundred actually living in Reno at a given time. Reno’s population was twenty thousand. That would make only one divorce seeker for every hundred inhabitants.”
–Ernie Pyle, from “Home Country” (1947).
