About the play:
Victor Garber in
PRESENT LAUGHTER
by Noel Coward
Directed by Nicholas Martin
May 18 - June 17, 2007
Boston University Theatre
264 Huntington Avenue, Boston
Victor Garber (Broadway's "Sweeney Todd" and "Arcadia" and TV's
"Alias") stars as aging matinee idol Garry Essendine in one of Noel
Coward's funniest and most delightful comedies. Devastatingly handsome
and thoroughly charming, Garry lives his life like it's one grand
performance. But on the eve of a major tour, things fall apart in
hysterical fashion as he juggles old flames, a crazed playwright, and
(gasp!) middle age. Nicholas Martin, the Huntington's own master of
laughter, directs.

Snappy Dance
Eight Streets NA members have been invited to join the Ellis NA in their special arrangement to see Snappy Dance. If you’d like to join the Neighborhood event, ordering information is in the announcement below
-----------------------------------------
Our neighbors at the Boston Center for the Arts - and the BCA's Cultural Partner, Snappy Dance - have invited us to join them at a special event. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
Opening Night at "Celebrating 10 Years" - and a post-performance reception with the company
Wednesday, May 30 - 7:30 PM
Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA
Snappy Dance is edgy, a blend of dance with theatre and acrobatics. Its anniversary program features the world premiere of String Beings, an exciting collaboration between dancers, MIT New Media Artist Jonathan Bachrach and BSO first violinist Lucia Lin, with "real time video feedback using intelligent video processing and live musicians who become part of the choreography." This kind of joint venture can only take place in a city like Boston, and it's central to the BCA's mission. Don't miss it.
Tickets: $15 - $35 at www.bostontheatrescene.com or 617-933-8600. Let them know you're an Ellis member; tickets are limited.
Please RSVP for the reception to Cara Wojcik at 617-426-2924 or cwojcik@bcaonline.org
More info at http://www.bcaonline.org/may_2007/string_beings.php or at www.snappydance.com
We look forward to partnering with the BCA on future events. We'll keep you posted.

Globe endorses Passoni
I should have read the paper before making the previous post.
The Boston Globe has endorsed Susan Passoni for City Council District 2.
VOTE!! Next Tuesday
A reminder that next Tuesday, May 15th is the final election for District 2 City Councilor. We only had between 11 and 15% participation in the preliminary elections. IF the South End doesn’t vote, then the winners aren’t going to pay attention to us. We need high numbers at the polls! Tell your friends and neighbours to get out and vote.
Tuesday, May 15th, 7am-8pm, Cathedral High Gym, at Waltham and Washington St.

Find out about the BRA
The following lecture has been advertised. If you’d like to learn more about the BRA, this sounds like the place to be.
The Boston League of Women Voters will sponsor a public informational
meeting:
Wednesday, May 9th
Jackson/Mann Community School, 500 Cambridge Street,
Union Square, Allston (on the 57 bus line and free parking)
6:30 p.m.
Construction? Re-construction? Destruction? Growth and development all over
the City today and tomorrow is governed by the Boston Redevelopment
Authority. Love it or hate it, the BRA (planning and redevelopment agency)
is the only game in town.
Come and find out more--who is it? Where did it come from? What impact does
it have on our lives?
We will hear from Larry Koff & Associates/Community Planning after light
refreshments at 6:30 P.M. He will discuss the current state of the BRA
planning process and how citizens can have a meaningful impact via points of
leverage from 7 to 9 P.M. with plenty of time for discussion and questions.
If growth and development has affected your neighborhood you are already
involved. This meeting is a chance to become better informed as well. If
you do not as yet have a high rise going up in your neighborhood despite
zoning protections you thought existed, you can't afford to be complacent.
Please join us. Knowledge is power.
