WHERE ARE YOUR SHOES, JEDI?

From NYDN:

His smile was so charming, the little guy came pretty close to landing a new home in the White House.

“Michelle, I think we just decided we’re gonna take Jedi home,” Obama said to his wife as the couple shook hands with volunteers who had gathered at a local high school to help military families. “It’s pretty tempting, pretty tempting. Of course, I didn’t change any diapers yet.”

Poetry! Song! Comedy! Drama! Romance! Race! Boston! Obama!In real life, I’m a stage manager in Boston. Currently, I’m working on a great show written and performed by six young people.

Set in the not-so-distant-future, ARTiculation follows the journey of six Boston poets as they weave their way through the vast jungles of their own imaginations. Armed with only words, this young diverse ensemble provides a mosaic of life, love, youth, religion and art set to a thundering mix of urban poetics and dynamic live theatre (more).

ARTiculation runs until January 24th.

It’s gotten some AMAZING reviews. Click through for a few excerpts, information on tickets and more!
