Short attention span theatre this weekend
By adamg - 1/4/12 - 8:08 amThe Writing Life alerts us to this weekend's Boston One-Minute Play Festival:
Yep, that's right, one-minute plays. Little blurbs of storytelling, sparks of ideas. There will be 70 such sparks written by 35 different Boston playwrights. It should be an energetic evening, and one that offers a concentrated sampling of whatever has been in the creative air around here lately.
Opera Boston disappears
By Michael Kerpan - 12/24/11 - 1:05 pmWhat a sad artistic loss.

Boston's Original Rock Radio: WBCN Documentary in the Works
By MFord - 12/16/11 - 6:37 pmIt’s been years since the eponymous WBCN radio graced the airwaves but its legacy has not been forgotten. During the golden era of underground stations, WBCN was belting out its message of revolution during the civil rights times of 1968 to 1974. Keeping the nostalgia alive, curator Bill Lichtenstein has compiled a vast library of archival footage for a new documentary film about the station and the time it affected. “We’ve received more than 50,000 pieces of memorabilia, donated by people across the country…we’re counting on this nationwide enthusiasm — from both those who were there and from young people inspired by what WBCN meant,” Lichtenstein said. Like many other artists today, Bill has taken to the internet with a call to arms. The project will be funded by those who care about it most on Kickstarter.com
Even famed Boston Red Sox pitcher, Bill “Spaceman” Lee has signed on to help the project in its homerun stretch before its Monday, December 19th deadline. Earlier today he sent out this blast:
A Special Message from former Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee about the www.KickstartWBCN.com campaign for "The American Revolution."

Attention! This is Bill "Spaceman" Lee.
