Patrick’s appropriately amateurish set, Don McDonald’s moody lighting and Donnie Jay’s costumes, especially his luscious Victorian gowns, all added to the proceedings. Whatever the shortcomings of Now She Dances, both the play and its production were much more polished than Wilson’s Street Theater, seen last year. To Do Productions is to be commended for its ongoing commitment to this seminal gay playwright. The Underpants at Tulane’s Lab Theatre ith his production of Steve Martin’s adapta- tion of Carl Sternheim’s The Underpants, W Paul Schierhorn proved he is just as inca- pable at directing 20th century comedy as he was at Shakespearean tragedy (2004’s Cymbeline). Involving a man and his wife whose panties fell down at a royal parade and the comically amoural complications that ensue, Underpants is not the greatest play and I’m not quite sure what pulled Martin to it. Sternheim may have been subversive in 1910; the Nazis banned his works. By now, his humor has paled. Martin spices it up with lotsa weiner and sausage jokes ( “You deserve something in you at night besides sauerkraut.”) and wan epigrams (“A man will not put off till tomorrow what he can sleep with today.”), but Underpants loses what momentum it has about halfway through. Except for Nancy Upton as an upstairs neighbor who lives for vicarious thrills, Tulane’s cast members are not natural farceurs.

  • Project Graduation
    A How-To Manual Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services Office of Substance Abuse Information & Resource Center Prevention Division 159 State House Station Augusta ME 04330 (207) 287-8907 (1-800-499-0027) INTRODUCTION hen Spring rolls around, only one thing is on the minds of high school seniors across the country: GRADUATION! As a rite of wpassage, graduation night is unequaled in the eyes of youth. It is a night to be proud, to celebrate past achievements, and to look forward to the future. But some teens mistakenly think that the best way to celebrate on graduation night is to drink alcohol. In the past, graduation parties involving alcohol have left some graduating seniors with hangovers, embarrassing memories, and in trouble with their parents, friends, and/or the police. Some others were not so lucky. There were 15 teenagers killed in alcohol related crashes in Maine’s 1997 graduation season. Graduation parties should be fun, not fatal. The idea of all night, chemical free graduation partes is not new. Oregon high schools have sponsored such parties for graduating seniors for 50 years. The name “Project Graduation” was coined twenty years ago by planners in Maine, where a total of eighteen people had died during two graduation seasons due to alcohol-related crashes. Maine’s first Project Graduation was such a success that high schools throughout the State adopted similar programs, and “Project Graduation” became a generic name for the chemical-free graduation parties that have started a new tradition - celebrating safely. All school-related functions are supposed to be chemical-free, but what makes Project Graduation different is the attitude of the students.

  • Jake Shears Lists Los Feliz Architectural (EXCLUSIVE)
    Jake Shears Lists Los Feliz Architectural (EXCLUSIVE) March 7, 2019 Mark David Location: Los Angeles, Calif. Price: $2.248 million Size: 2,309 square feet, 3-4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms A 1937 Streamline Moderne residence nestled into the foothills of L.A.’s Los Feliz area, owned by alt-pop singer/songwriter Jake Shears, has hit the market at $2.248 million. The famously energetic and frequently porn-stached 40-year-old singer and musician, on indefinite hiatus from the powerhouse early aughts glam-rock band Scissor Sisters, purchased the eye-catching, architecturally significant home in 2013 with his then- boyfriend, accomplished documentary filmmaker Chris Moukarbel (“Gaga: Five Foot Two”), from abstract painter Beatrice Findlay for $1.92 million. Defined by a semi-circular, glass-block tower that houses a winding stone staircase and entered amid a variety of spiky plants via a petite, elevated porch, the three-story white- stucco villa is widely attributed to accomplished if somewhat unsung architect William Kesling and known in architecture circles as Ulm House. With many original details intact, there are three and potentially four bedrooms and four carefully preserved or re- created vintage-tiled bathrooms in a smidgen more than 2,300 square feet. Adjoining living and dining rooms with honey-toned hardwood floors and gigantic, curtain-free steel-trimmed windows that extend all the way to the ceiling flow easily out to a terrazzo terrace with over-the-treetops canyon and city lights views. There’s an angled fireplace and built-in banquette seating in the living room and the dining room, simply but strikingly furnished with a colorfully contemporary take on a picnic table, is open over a short peninsula snack bar to an unquestionably compact but generously windowed and fully up-to-date kitchen.
