The Post-Meridian Radio Players Present:
Dangerous Adventures

Performances:
Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 8:00pm (pay-what-you-can)
Friday, May 2, 2025, at 8:00pm
Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 8:00pm
Location:
Guild Church (formerly Boston Brunch Church), 204 Elm Street, Somerville
(Note: the venue is theoretically accessible to those using mobility devices through the side entrance, but I would highly recommend arranging for someone to meet you at the door to navigate to the performance space.)

Our Spring 2024 show features three thrilling tales of adventure, The Most Dangerous Game, an original adaptation of Richard Connell's classic short story, the first episode of a new fantasy-adventure pastiche Townies and Dragons: Barrel Full of Peril, and the pirate adventure The Bonnie Tales of Captain Bellamy: Song of Trickery.

All PMRP productions are presented on stage in the style of old-time radio with actors at microphones and sound effects performed live by our talented Foley artists!

(I'll be behind the concessions table on Saturday and possibly Friday!)

Kennedy School at 5 Cherry Street, Somerville, MA 02144. Suggested donation $10 per person, or $20 per family.

When one curious Giant wonders what it’s like down below, she must steal the key to the “beanstalk” and embark on an adventure to Earth.

The cast of Giants in the Sky includes more than sixty Kennedy School students from kindergarten through Grade 8. The community is invited to join parents and friends of the cast and crew for a fun and joyful night of theatre at the Kennedy School.

Hello, Davis Square! I've posted here in years past about my writing (my Never After played at the Somerville Theater in 2009), and I've got a new script needing feedback. I Made A Faustian Deal With the Devil and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt is a full-length comedy set in Hell, where Catherine the Great, bluesman Robert Johnson, Joan of Arc, Niccolo Paganini, and the non-binary-gendered Devil argue over who among them should escape.

I'm hoping to hold a read-through in the next couple of weeks at a home on the Mass Ave end of Chester Street. There's a poll up at http://doodle.com/poll/p7y8448eh47p3trr to determine the best date. If you're interested in reading aloud, I can send you a PDF of the script. I am particularly interested in finding an African-American man to read Rob Johnson.

Thanks for your interest!

The Post-Meridian Radio Players invites you to audition for Tomes of Terror: Campfire Tales, to be performed the last two weekends in October at Responsible Grace Church in Davis Square. Be a camper on a spooky autumn camp-out, sharing tales of dark darkness, and urban legends, too. We also need foley performers.

Come join me up the road/path in Arlington on June 1st for an evening of films from Spain to Germany to Bolivia and beyond! You don't have to be a cyclist to enjoy these tales of two-wheeled adventure. Ciclismo Classico proudly presents this one-of-a-kind film festival, the ONLY film festival in the USA to celebrate travel by bicycle.

See what happens when a bored businessman skips work and just keeps pedaling.
Watch the protagonists of our films as they encounter everything from llamas to cranky border patrols to mountaintop thunderstorms.
Be inspired by two families who bring their kids along for the ride - and make sure the Easter Bunny doesn’t forget their campsite!
Get an inside look at Cuba’s vast bike culture, including a man who built an 18-ft tall bike!

In addition to the 8 fantastic and inspiring films on tap, the Ciclismo Classico Bike Travel Film Festival begins with a social hour (6:00 - 7:00 PM) and the famous Cookie Showcase, an all-cookie buffet featuring the best bakeries of Arlington and beyond! Every attendee will be entered into a drawing to win a trip to Italy with Ciclismo Classico! You can also win a beautiful bike jersey as part of our Great Jersey Giveaway!

Special guests for the evening are Jim Sayer, Executive Director of Adventure Cycling Association (when you hear him speak, you’ll be ready to quit your job and go biking!) and Charles Scott, the “family adventure guy” and filmmaker of our 2016 Grand Jury Prizewinning film.

It's a great time, and proceeds benefit Adventure Cycling Association and MassBike. Tickets available now ($15 in advance; $20 at the door) at http://regenttheatre.com/details/the_7th_annual_ciclismo_classico_bike_travel_film_festival

Winter Hill Better Block is coming! We're holding a Winter Hill Better Block festival on December 12th from 4-8pm and December 13th from 12-4pm. The Winter Hill Better Block will be centered in the area between the new Winter Hill Brewing Company (328 Broadway) and the vacant area behind the post office as well as along some areas of Marshall Street.

More details available on the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/543898939101631/ But there's not as much there as I got in an email--I don't know where the email stuff is stored. I'll paste that below the LJcut.

A banner hanging in Statue Park advertises the Dancing America Rapper Tournament to be held next Saturday. Most of it is in bars (Burren, Joshua Tree, Redbones, and Saloon), but there will be "an unjudged warm-up dance" outdoors in Davis Square from 10 to 11:30am. EDIT 11/12: Looks like the warm-up has been moved indoors, to First Church Somerville.

Over the past few weeks there have been some meetings to refine some of the neighborhood discussions around improvements to Winter Hill, including events that we might have. Due to scheduling conflicts, I missed the meetings. But I have been getting the mailers, so I thought I'd tell you what I know from this. It sounds like we will have a winter market event. I think this is a genius idea to brand Winter Hill. If you've ever been to European Christmas Markets, it sounds like that to me. I have always thought that was a big gap in this region.

My only disappointment was that "skate park" seems to be skateboard. I would *love* an ice skating rink. Maybe that's just the only icon they had...?

So for the details I have on the Winter Hill Better Block event, follow below the LJ cut.
