The Quick Brown Fox Jumped over the Lazy Dogs

Michael Merino — Thu, 04/30/2009 - 23:50

Take a simple sentence. A typing drill. Nine words. 37 letters. What do the words mean? How are they related? How is meaning conveyed? Inspired by the texts of Lewis Carroll, Donald Rumsfeld, and George Bush and concluding with the inspirational metaphorical tropes of Barack Obama, the work presents five characters in search of meaning at an absurdist linguistic tea party.

- Friday July 24 @ 9:30pm
- Saturday July 25 @ 9:30pm

Direct Free Payday Loan Lenders

payday72 — Tue, 02/23/2010 - 12:06

Cash loans receive plenty of attention these days, and quite much of critics. As a matter of fact, if managed properly a cash advance is very beneficial. If you choose a payday advance company that adheres to the official laws, and also is not lax about telling you what exactly you should know before proceeding, a payday loan might be very handy rather than risky.

Asian Pacific Islander Artists Go AARGH!!

MAPID — Mon, 09/14/2009 - 02:59

“It’s a battle cry,” says Ken Choy, host and producer of AARGH!!, the Asian Pacific Islander cabaret. “It’s both within ourselves and to the outside world that we are present, significant, vociferous, and steadfast opposers of negative, damaging stereotypes and images that are still today disseminated in all forms of media. We say ‘AARGH!!’ We say, ‘No.’”

"Maybe" at Lincoln Theatre

Michael Merino — Tue, 03/03/2009 - 18:07

The Emerging Voices Playwright Competition has recently named Maybe, a short play by Michael Merino, as a winner in their inaugural competition. Along with four other works, the play will receive a staged reading at the historic Lincoln Theatre on Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 7PM.

Merino’s play addresses the impossibility of clear and precise communication. The work involves two actors (Man and Woman), whose only words are "yes" and "no," respectively. An additional character called Stage Directions provides guidance regarding inflection and the actors' movements.
