A new website is up sparked by the City's ten-year budgeting of zero funds for capital improvements in Davis Square through 2027. The site details repairs immediately needed, with pictures and cost estimates for repairs.

The 62-page, illustrated punch list, developed by architect Chris Iwerks, a Davis Sq resident, is also available at:

The group's self-description follows:

"DavisNow.org focuses on fixing problems now. It does not address the City’s long-term plans for Davis Square, such as increasing building heights, altering intersections, or completely replacing sidewalks. This is a much more modest scope and cost proposal. It’s just what’s needed to renew the elements we already have.

"We have created a punch-list book of the many issues afflicting Davis Square, which can be viewed here:

"We plan to have a community meeting... to discuss what our next steps should be and how to partner with city officials to fund these needed repairs."

Audition for Burning!

[lillibet]

Theatre@First is holding auditions for Burning, local playwright Ginger Lazarus' modern adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac.

AUDITION DATES: December 10-11 by appointment only

ABOUT THE PLAY: Cy, a former Army sergeant kicked out under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," takes on the world with her words as a blogger, blowing the whistle on sexual harassment within the Army and going toe-to-toe with her former commander. She secretly adores her friend Rose, who in turn has her eye on Cole, an inarticulate infantryman. Cy reluctantly signs on to ghost-write Cole's courtship of Rose, but lets her own fantasy take priority. This thought-provoking drama explores themes of truth, deceit and silence, and the power each has to harm and heal.
