Far from a tribute to a great victory, however, the granite obelisk on top of Breed’s Hill does, in fact, mark the site of a defeat in a nascent nation’s fight for freedom. Due to reasons that remain in dispute to this day, the Battle of Bunker Hill was not fought on Bunker Hill. Regardless, the name stuck after the rebels’ skirmish against British troops on June 17, 1775 enacted great losses on the side of the red- coats, giving hope to the losing side’s cause. This early conflict in the American Revolution resulted in the creation of many martyrs and heroes—in- cluding the beloved Dr. Joseph Warren, who was killed on that fateful day—whose deeds passed into legend in the subsequent decades. The first monument on Breed’s Hill, erected in 1794, was a wooden pillar and urn placed in remembrance of Warren. In 1823, a citizen’s group determined to create a more substantial memo- rial formed. Although the Marquis de Lafayette himself set the cornerstone in 1825, lack of fund- ing led to construction being interrupted on two separate occasions. The 221-foot structure was finally dedicated on June 17, 1843, several months after it had been completed. A statue of Warren from the 1850s is housed in a nearby lodge, while a statue of war hero Colonel William Prescott was dedicated outside the monument in 1881. The Battle of Bunker Hill is further honored by the Suffolk County holiday known as Bunker Hill Day every June 17. This year, a parade through Charlestown’s streets takes place the Sunday prior to that date, on June 10. —Scott Roberto ABOVE: BUNKER HILL MONUMENT, 1848, COURTESY OF BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY BOSTONGUIDE.COM 5 PRIDE ON THE MARCH Everybody loves a parade. Pile parties, live music, a festival and more on top of that and you really have a celebration. In fact, you have Boston Pride Week (refer to listing, page 18), which continues, driven by 2018’s theme of “Rainbow Resistance,” through June 10 at venues all over the city. Enjoy Pride Night @ Fenway Park on June 7, while marquee events on June 9 include the Boston Pride Festival at City Hall Plaza from 11 a.m.–6 p.m.—which includes a concert headlined by Martha Wash and Big Freedia from noon–6 p.m.—and the 48th Boston Pride Parade (pictured) beginning at noon, which marches from Copley Square into the South End and on to City Hall Plaza. The next day, the revelry ramps up even more with block parties in the Back Bay and Jamaica Plain, followed by the brand-new Pride Grand Finale at (where else?) The Grand nightclub (58 Seaport Blvd., Suite 300) in the Seaport District beginning at 9 p.m. WHAT BOSTON’S BUZZING ABOUT (N)ICE DREAMS Three days of peace, love and—ice cream? 6.4.18 Although it’s not Woodstock, the Scooper Bowl (refer to listing, page 18)—the 36th annual ice cream extravaganza benefitting the cancer-fighting charity the Jimmy Fund that takes place at City Hall Plaza June 5–7—is nevertheless a spectacle to behold. A ticket earns visitors the right to indulge in all-you- can-eat ice cream (and yes, frozen yogurt, if you must) from some of the area’s favorite vendors—including Ben & Jerry’s (pictured)—of this ever-popular warm-weather treat, along with games, live music and more. New this year is Scoop@Night, a 21-plus section featuring adult beverages open June 7 from 5–8 p.m. Rarely has contributing to a good cause tasted so sweet. 6 PANORAMA HUBBUB PHOTOS (TOP TO BOTTOM): MARILYN HUMPHRIES, TIMOTHY RENZI A STAR IS BORN Grammy Award-winning gospel and R&B singer Benjamin “BeBe” Winans has led a life worthy of a stage musical, so it’s no surprise that a brand-new song-filled spectacle based on his experiences hits the stage of the Emerson Cutler Majestic Theatre beginning June 15. Born for This (refer to listing, page 19)—which chronicles Winans’ early life as the progeny of a well-known gospel-singing family and his unlikely rise to prominence, along with sister CeCe, under the wing of TV evangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, along with his subsequent trials and tribulations as a successful mainstream recording artist—has been dazzling audiences across the country since its debut at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre in 2016, so be sure to catch this inspiring show when it makes its Boston premiere. THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE The stage at the Boch Center’s Shubert Theatre transforms into a familiar Catskills resort June 13–17 when the musical adaptation of the beloved 1987 filmDirty Dancing (refer to listing, page 19) shimmies back to Boston, once again telling the 1960s-set coming- of-age story of Frances “Baby” Houseman, who, against her parents’ wishes, falls for dance instructor/bad boy Johnny Castle. The hits from the movie soundtrack—including “Hungry Eyes,” “Hey Baby,” “Do You Love Me?” and, of course, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life”—are represented, along with plenty of additional material, from scenes that further flesh out the characters to new dance numbers and songs not included in the original incarnation, making this a must-see for fans aching to re-live the magic of the all-time classic. LIFE IN DEATH Life, Death & Revelry, a new exhibit at the Fenway’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (refer to listing, page 21) on view beginning June 14, brings to light new details about one of the institution’s most significant masterpieces, tracing its history over thousands of years. The marble Farnese Sarcophagus, crafted in ancient Rome about 225 A.D., depicts a frieze of satyrs and maenads engaging in life-affirming revelry, which is particularly ironic given the 7,500-pound object’s original use as a coffin. Purchased by the museum’s eponymous founder in 1898, the newly restored work of art—now freed from its usual position so all four sides can be seen—continues to inspire even to this day, as the show also includes a 3D video installation by Artists-in-Residence Paul Kaiser and Marc Downie of the OpenEndedGroup that utilizes detailed photos of the masterwork. —Scott Roberto TOP PHOTO: BEN GIBBS; BOTTOM: ROMAN, SEVERAN, FARNESE SARCOPHAGUS WITH REVELERS GATHERING GRAPES (DETAIL), ABOUT 225 A.D. BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 PANORAMA’s GUIDE TO THE SOUTH END Pride Week or any week, Boston’s bastion of gay culture is always a great destination for dining, arts and hidden-gem landmarks BY SCOTT ROBERTO Boston Center for the Arts It’s all here: artists’ studios, theaters, a gallery, restaurants (Banyan Bar + Refuge, pictured, and The Beehive) and the his- toric Cyclorama, home to special events througout the year.

  • The First Critical Assessments of a Streetcar Named Desire: the Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers
    FALL 1991 45 The First Critical Assessments of A Streetcar Named Desire: The Streetcar Tryouts and the Reviewers Philip C. Kolin The first review of A Streetcar Named Desire in a New York City paper was not of the Broadway premiere of Williams's play on December 3, 1947, but of the world premiere in New Haven on October 30, 1947. Writing in Variety for November 5, 1947, Bone found Streetcar "a mixture of seduction, sordid revelations and incidental perversion which will be revolting to certain playgoers but devoured with avidity by others. Latter category will predomin­ ate." Continuing his predictions, he asserted that Streetcar was "important theatre" and that it would be one "trolley that should ring up plenty of fares on Broadway" ("Plays Out of Town"). Like Bone, almost everyone else interested in the history of Streetcar has looked forward to the play's reception on Broadway. Yet one of the most important chapters in Streetcar's stage history has been neglected, that is, the play's tryouts before that momentous Broadway debut. Oddly enough, bibliographies of Williams fail to include many of the Streetcar tryout reviews and surveys of the critical reception of the play commence with the pronouncements found in the New York Theatre Critics' Reviews for the week of December 3, 1947. Such neglect is unfortunate. Streetcar was performed more than a full month and in three different cities before it ever arrived on Broadway. Not only was the play new, so was its producer. Making her debut as a producer with Streetcar, Irene Selznick was one of the powerhouses behind the play.

During the American Revolution, patriots James Otis, Samuel Adams, and others spoke here to protest such issues as British government trade restrictions and taxation without representation.
