Well, now’s your chance. In celebration of Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary, The Boston Center for Adult Education is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the legendary stadium up close. On April 7, for a mere $75 you can participate in a digital photography workshop within the confines of friendly Fenway. From 1–4 p.m., instructor Chris Padgett guides you through the landmark while you point, focus and shoot. At the end of the day you’ll have great memories and photo documentation of every moment. Visit bcae. org for more details. —Samantha House UNDER THE BLEACHERS Sure, you can get comfortable in a seat at Fenway Park to see your favorite Red Sox players throwing heat and knocking balls out of the stadium, but opting to go below the stands can give you a new way to view America’s greatest pastime. Bleacher Bar (refer to listing, page 55) resides underneath the centerfield bleachers and gives visitors a look at historic Fenway through a huge garage door-style glass window. The bar, opened in May 2008, is just a few feet away from Ted Williams’ Red Seat and nestled close to the Green Monster, filling the space where the away teams’ batting cages once lived. Though most popular when the Sox are taking the field, Bleacher Bar is open year-round and is available for private parties. With reasonably priced sandwiches, snacks and soups, over 25 choices of beer and one-of-a-kind field- level views, Bleacher Bar is a prime location for any baseball fanatic. —Bailey Marquis PORTRAITS OF PASSION Red Sox fans have an appreciation for baseball’s early history, but few know that this glory was captured on film. In a serendipitous turn, the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park—the fabled home of the Sox—coincides with WHAT BOSTON’S BUZZING ABOUT the Griffin Museum of Photography’s (67 Shore Rd., Winchester, 781-729- 1158) 20th anniversary. To celebrate, the museum is pulling out all the stops 4.2.12 as its love for the team dates to the organization’s inception. Arthur Griffin, the museum’s founder, photographed Ted Williams at the age of 19 when Williams was a young player for the Sox. These images, accompanied by more than 100 photographs of Fenway Park culled from numerous collections including those of the Baseball Hall of Fame, the FDR Museum and the Boston Public Library, are now on display. The museum’s Executive Director, Paula Tognarelli, believes this exhibition truly “captures the spirit of the Boston landmark”— and with such an engrossing and exhaustive collection of Fenway- related imagery, it will surely capture the heart of anyone with a soft spot for the Sox. —Paul Adler 6 PANORAMA BLEACHERHUBBUB BAR PHOTO: STEPHANIE SAVAS; BOTTOM PHOTO: ARTHUR GRIFFIN, F ENWAY PARK SAILORS, C. 1940 Your next adventure awaits!

Attendees can also meet Red Sox legends and tour otherwise inaccessible nooks of the renovated stadium. The following day, April 20, marks the 100th anniversary of the Sox’s inaugural game against the New York Yankees—then called The Highlanders. On this day, the rivals face each other yet again on Fenway’s historic diamond, preceded by a large-scale pregame ceremony. Also to mark the date, the Red Sox are issuing commemorative tickets reminiscent of those from 1912, and beginning May 2, players will sporadically sport throwback uniforms circa 1936. For many, Fenway is more than a ballpark; it is a place of community, tradition, love and pride celebration of these values is sure to hit a home run representing America’s pastime.

  • New England Patriots Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: the More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
    New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same. Author : Robert D. Cobb There is an old French proverb, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" that roughly translated means, the more things change, the more they stay the same. While Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr didn’t exactly have in mind that over 150-plus years later that his famous epigram from his journal Les Guepes, would become so literal, it seems to apply more literally whenever it comes to the New England Patriots vexing mastery over the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1 / 2 Whether it is in the hearty confines of Foxborough or the Confluence of the Three Rivers of the Steel City, the New England Patriots have the Pittsburgh Steelers number. For all of their six Lombardi trophies, 23 members in the Hall of Fame and perhaps the largest fan following in the NFL in Steeler Nation, whenever the mighty six-time Super Bowl champions see the Patriots red, white and blue, they immediately turn to rust. While they have been owned by the Rooney family since 1933, on the field, they have been owned by Tom Brady since 2002. Whether coming in to relive an injured Drew Bledsoe in the ‘01 AFC Championship Game or treating Antony Smith like a junior varsity scrub to the tune of a long pair of touchdown passes via Randy Moss in a 34-13 blowout, Brady is the ultimate arch-nemesis that Pittsburgh cannot seem to solve. Not even their long-time and ancient rivals from the past in the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys or even their fellow division blood rival in the Baltimore Ravens seem to amass the amount of dread, revile and utter disdain and fear and loathing that New England does.

  • 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.

Since its debut, this masterpiece has enthralled and delighted audiences around the world. And the widow herself, Hanna Glawari, has proved to be a woman of substance for generations. Life at the height of the gilded age, or La Belle Époque, aspired to be merry, lavish, and carefree. However, they were all dancing on the precipice of disaster: the Great War. We recognize it in the irresistible cast of characters who seduce, sway and swoon their way to true love or farewell.

Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.
