"The Technoskeptic" magazine launch party at The Burren, Tuesday 3/8

[ron_newman]

A new magazine called The Technoskeptic will have its launch party this Tuesday from 6:30-8 pm in the Burren back room. The free party will feature appetizers, live music, and a raffle for four ArtsEmerson tickets.

The Technoskeptic is an online magazine exploring the intersection of technology and society from a humanistic perspective. Our aim is to create awareness, act as a resource, build community, and change culture.

Right now they're only online, but they hope to become a printed magazine. Cambridge Day published a long feature last week about the magazine and their event.

Directors & Playwrights Wanted!

Deadlines are fast approaching for two exciting Theatre@First programs!

Bare Bones: Staged Readings at Theatre@First seeks proposals for our June reading. Directors looking to tackle a favorite script, to get back in the game, or just to squeeze some theatre into a busy spring--submit your proposal by March 18th. Directors of all backgrounds and levels of experience are encouraged to apply and we are especially enthusiastic about playwrights from communities under-represented in the traditional canon. Don't miss this chance to explore directing in the spare, intense setting of a staged reading.

FirstWorks: New Playwrights at Theatre@First is our workshop program for new plays by local playwrights. One full-length play will be chosen for each session of FirstWorks. Playwrights will have the opportunity to gain feedback on their work from experienced directors and actors during the revision process, followed by a staged reading in July with feedback from our enthusiastic and insightful audience. Submissions are due by April 1st.
