Hi!! It's a new year!!!And this year I vow to BLOG!
Winding down from a terrific First Event!
Here is the next event, perhaps.
Mark Twain's Is He Dead?   - one of his more interesting plays.

My cousin, who is directing, asked  if any well dressed girls might be interested in attending.              Or anyone else.  Dressing is not mandatory but would be fun. Cross dressing is a major part of the play albeit in Victorian mode.  Below is a note from his grad student which I am passing on to you
with hope you will venture out.  Laurence's plays are always superb.  I can't make opening night with the reception  - but perhaps you can.
If you do go....be sure to introduce yourself to Laurence and say you are a friend of mine.
I will probably go on the 14th  or 20th if you want to make a plan.  (You may notice from the note how I came to name my business...)
Looking forward!
Natasha

Dear colleagues,

I hope your year 2015 has been fruitful and eventful so far. Tufts Drama Department is happy and excited to share the news about our upcoming production - Is He Dead? by Mark Twain (adaptation by David Ives). The show is directed by Laurence Senelick (theatre scholar, professor and the famous author of The Changing Room).  
Mark Twain is universally acknowledged as America's greatest humorist.  David Ives is celebrated as one of the most successful comic dramatists on the modern American stage.  A combination of the two should be irresistible.  Twain's Victorian comedy of cross-dressing and mistaken identity was recently rediscovered.  Ives blew the dust off it, polished it to a high sheen and set it in motion as a powerful machine for raising laughs.  The hero — in this case the French painter Jean-François Millet — has reasons first to be thought dead and then to pretend to be his own sister.  His is only one of the numerous disguises, contretemps, imbroglios and misunderstandings that punctuate this uproarious farce. Both Twain and Ives revel in bad jokes and puns, slapstick and horse-play, and an outrageous amount of innuendo. It is as if the dead author (is he dead?) and the living one are trying to outdo one another in a game of "how low comic can you get?"  The audience is the winner.

The show will take place on February 12-14, February 19-21, 2015 at 8:00 pm in the Balch Arena Theatre (Tufts University, Medford/Somerville campus). Below is the link to the web-page with all the details regarding the tickets/directions: http://dramadance.tufts.edu/performances/drama.htm

Thank you for your time,
Looking forward to welcoming you at the Tufts theatre.
