Theater: When one is confronted with the luminous beauty of Broadway starlet Emily Kinney, it’s inconceivable that she could have experienced even a sliver of the teen angst portrayed in the Tony award-winning Broadway musical “Spring Awakening.” Yet the 24-year-old Williamsburg resident told GO Brooklyn that there are several themes in the show which resonate with her.

Labor of love

Monday, September 1: It’s Labor Day, so it must be time to put on the sunscreen, grab some water bottles and marvel — along with a couple of million other spectators — at the sequined spectacle that is the annual West Indian American Carnival Parade.

Best in ’burg

Friday, September 5: Tonight at the “Mr and Miss Williamsburg” contest at Supreme Trading, contestants will be judged in three categories: personal interview, streetwear and talent (loosely defined as “one demonstrable skill” that need not be performance-oriented). Sounds like a laff riot to us.
