magidIn reading bits of the Globe this morning, I found that there really is going to be a professional theater in Central Square, with productions projected to start in 2005. Very cool.
And in the same article there was information about this summer's (free) Shakespeare Company production on Boston Common: Macbeth begins preview performances July 18, opens July 23, and runs through Aug. 10.
In previous years I've 'hosted' the Thursday night (vegetarian/vegan) potluck on the Common. This year *checks calendar* their run is pretty much the 3 weeks of the summer that start with a minor fast day and lead up to a major fast day (Tisha B'Av (lit. "the ninth of Av), commemorating the destruction of both Temples, as well as almost every other horrible thing that has happened to Jews in the last two millenia or so). Which is the last Thursday of their run. Hrm. Definitely not going to be going to Macbeth on Tisha B'Av, and I'd rather not go during the first days of Av, either. Which means that if I'm going to host a potluck on the Common (ie a Thursday)(rather than just go with a heck of a lot fewer people some other night), it's going to have to be Thursday July 24. Not ideal, certainly. Still, I've had people ask me about it months ago already, if I'm organizing it again this year, so... (At least it's not a comedy. That helps me feel better about it.)
