The bond between Lucy and Ethel is essential to the plot of almost every episode of I Love Lucy. Both characters may have been stay-at-home housewives, but while their husbands were away at work, Lucy and Ethel didn’t just hang around the house - they got into trouble. Their wildest successes and wackiest failures always happened side-by-side. Mary & Rhoda Mary Richards broke TV boundaries in 1970 with her depiction of a single working woman on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Though she had many boyfriends over the show’s run, her true partner was upstairs neighbor Rhoda Morgenstern. With her headscarves and her brash New York attitude, Rhoda was the perfect foil for polished Midwestern Mary. These two were TV’s original BFFs, and are the reason many of the other relationships and characters on this list exist. Thelma & Louise In the ultimate friendship movie, Thelma and Louise are bonded together in their desire to live life on their own terms. Real heroines who would kill or be killed for each other, they are icons of freedom and friendship.

Lisa Kron may now feel like the same moment. an old friend to some of you. For those eager to learn more about this smart and funny writer, welcome to her “Playwright Profile.” Lisa grew up in Lansing, Michigan and like many artists, moved to New York after college. As a teenager and young woman in Michigan and in New York, she pursued acting in straight plays, increasingly dissatisfied with the roles for women, and especially LGBTQ women. Seeing the work of the pioneering group Split Britches had a profound impact. Lisa writes, “It was so beautiful and com- plete and so utterly unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was strange yet totally familiar. Funny and heartbreaking and so sexy. It was nonlinear — that blew my Midwestern MIND. And — they made it themselves. To me this was a revelation.” Through Split Brithes, Lisa found her way to the WOW Cafe, a hot-bed for experimental lesbian-centered work in New York’s East Village, the city’s bohemian heart.

During these years of exponential residential growth in NoHo, SoHo, Chinatown and our Hudson River waterfront, planners have not provided for the necessary amenities that make for a healthy and growing residential community, e.g., public schools, open space and parks, access to health care, adequate public transit opportunities and public transit access, affordable retail space, and general services such as sanitation, police and fire. Each year, CB2 receives many applications for residential conversions and re-zonings. The complaints and requests that come to CB2 reflect the concerns of this new residential population. Our budget priorities for the past few years have continued to focus on servicing these new arrivals to the district, as well as our long-time residents. More specific assessments of services will be set forth throughout this Statement. I. DISTRICT OVERVIEW A. Geography Community Board 2 is a diverse district, bounded on the north by 14th Street, the south by Canal Street, the east by the Bowery/Fourth Avenue, and the west by the Hudson River.

    THE ORIGINAL NEW YORK CAST AMY BRENNEMAN, BETH DIXON, VIRGINIA KULL, KELLIE OVERBEY AND LEE TERGESEN SET FOR THE WEST COAST PREMIERE OF RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN BY GINA GIONFRIDDO Production helmed by PETER DuBOIS Opening Night - Wednesday, August 21 in the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse LOS ANGELES, June 19, 2013 – The original New York cast -- Amy Brenneman (Judging Amy, NYPD Blue, Private Practice), Beth Dixon, Virginia Kull, Kellie Overbey and Lee Tergesen (Monster, Wayne’s World, Weird Science) – are set for the West Coast premiere of Rapture, Blister, Burn, written by Gina Gionfriddo, in the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse, opening Wednesday, August 21, 2013 (previews begin August 13). The Geffen Playhouse presents the Playwrights Horizons production of Rapture, Blister, Burn – directed by Peter DuBois (Artistic Director for the Huntington Theatre Company which just won the 2013 Regional Theatre Tony Award). The comedy was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize; playwright Gionfriddo was also a finalist in 2009 for Becky Shaw. Rapture, Blister, Burn tackles feminism’s foibles in what The New York Post called a "wonderful new show. It’s fun!” The Huffington Post said it is “piercingly sharp, roaringly funny comedy on the effect of Internet porn on gender politics, the women's movement and way-post-feminism, and the fate of Western civilization.” Variety said Rapture is full of “sharp dialogue and smart ideas – lots of fun and full of insights.” Three generations of women share their raucous and refreshing approaches to navigating work, love and family. Rock star academic Catherine envies her friend Gwen who finds her domestic responsibilities less than satisfying.
