Entertaiment

Anything that affords pleasure, diversion or amusement: solving the daily crossword puzzle; watching a film; attending a concert. It may also refer to a form of recreation or sport: fencing and archery are once-common forms of entertainment that have become spectator sports. Entertainments often evolve: a traditional tale like Scheherazade (from the Persian professional storytelling tradition) may have been retold in music by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski, in film by Pasolini and others, and even in an innovative video game. It is sometimes abbreviated to entmt on fliers or in industry news publications where space is limited.

This month, we explore a wide range of entertaining themes, from the joy of food to the magic of storytelling.
