The Eagle & the Cactus is an original work by Somerville playwright Inez Hedges. It tells the story of Claude Cahun, the surrealist sculptor who became a fierce opponent of the Nazi regime and was imprisoned on the Isle of Jersey as World War II wound to a conclusion. Based on Cahun's own writings and documents, the play is a fascinating look at a forgotten episode in a greater conflict.

FirstWorks is Theatre@First's program for local playwrights, offering the opportunity to workshop scripts with our talented actors in collaboration with an experienced director for performance as a staged reading for our engaged and enthusiastic audience.

Parking Permit Renewal

[aislingk15.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that I've always received notices in the mail about parking permit renewal, and I know that I've done these renewals online for at least the past two years. I realized this week that I never got a notice about my permits that expire at the end of February, and so I decided to just renew them online. When I went to log in, the system said that there was no record of my account, and I had to set up a new account and submit proof of residency. (Probably I could have phoned, but at this point it just seemed easier to resubmit all my information and hope it is approved and processed in time.) I'm just curious if this was an isolated incident, and whether other people got notices to renew their B-zone parking permits.
