Acting is a passion, an art, and a need you love. It was with this total in my checkbook that I landed my first major acting role. 68 Cents It is this passion that motivated me six years ago to pull together a group of the most talented that fills my gut. friends I have and create a Company, a Company I lovingly named the 68 Cent Crew Theatre Company. Over the past six years, the 68 Cent Crew Theatre Company has grown into a family of loving, supportive and extraordinarily gifted actors. We are fortunate to have come so far in such a short time, but it could not have come without hard work, commitment, and fervent love for what we do. How this came to be Fifteen years ago, my mother and I often went to a local theatre to support a friend. I always left there beaming. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My mother told me that I should try and audition for a play.

  • Monday Night at the Races Mclauglilin Dodges Jabs by Challengers
    Published Weekly In Allston-Brighton Since 1884 Friday, August 28, 1987 Vol. 102, No. 35 35 Cents Monday night at the races McLauglilin dodges jabs by challengers By John Becker Although the District 9 City Council race is os­ tensibly among five candidates, the race will prob­ ably be decided on the public's perception of one candidate's record. Incumbent Brian J. McLaugh­ lin, who is Allston-Brighton's first and only district councilor, based his performance at Monday even­ ing's Candidate's Night on the accomplishments of his first two terms, while most of his opponents spent their time trying to show that his represen­ tation had been ineffective. McLaughlin used the power of his position as in­ cumbent and insider to assert that he could get the job done-citing the reopening of Station 14 and the repaving of Washington Street as two major accom­ plishments. The other candidates, though they presented a number of new proposals and attempt­ ed to focus on issues, did not differ greatly on sub­ stance. Each one had to discredit McLaughlin's record as an incumbent in order to make their can­ didacies relevant. continued on P_age'B Donlan~ Bowinan Paul Creight.on wat.cbllW as AramiB Camps dellven his opening statement at Monday Wght's amdidates' debate niethods nJgbt at the Jaclmon/Mann Community Scbool "P'•IMJl-ed by the Ward 21and22 Democradc O:amuittees.

  • LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48Th Street , Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 8, 1987; Designation List 197 LP-1348 LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48th Street , Manhattan. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1019, Lot 50. Built 1912-13; architect, Henry B. Herts. On June 14 and 15, 1982 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a pub 1 ic hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Longacre Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.44). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Longacre Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Constructed in 1912-13, the Longacre was built to house the productions of Broadway producer and baseball magnate Harry H. Frazee . Designed for Frazee by Henry Herts, prominent theater architect, the Longacre is among the earliest surviving Broadway theaters, and has an exceptionally handsome facade. Like most Broadway playhouses built before World War I, the Longacre was designed by a leading theater architect to house the offices and theatrical productions of its owner. Though known as a baseball magnate, and at one time the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Frazee was also an influential Broadway producer who, besides building the Longacre theater, at one time also owned two other Broadway houses (the Harris and the Lyric).

Patrick, Governor Timothy P. Murray, Lt. Governor Ian A. Bowles, Secretary Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Commissioner Jack Murray, Deputy Commissioner for Parks Operations Resource Management Plans (RMPs) provide guidelines for management of properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in DCR’s stewardship efforts. Stony Brook Reservation, the largest forested open space in the City of Boston, is one of the oldest properties in the Massachusetts state park system. This RMP represents both a connection to the historic past, and a guide to the future of DCR’s Stony Brook Reservation. This RMP also represents the initial step of DCR’s efforts to prepare RMPs for every state forest, park and reservation across the Commonwealth. Richard K. Sullivan, Jr. Commissioner The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), an agency of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, oversees 450,000 acres of parks and forests, beaches, bike trails, watersheds, dams, and parkways.
