Play (2010)
by Will Eno
Directed by Doug Lockwood
Actors’ Shakespeare Project
YMCA Theatre (Central Square)

February 13 – March 10, 2013

A beautifully acted and directed piece about a small town, with the charm of Wilder’s Our Town and the absurdist echoes of Pinter’s early plays.

Concert Performance
Wonder of Weird
The 40th Anniversary Tour
by The Residents
Co-presented by
World Music/CRASHarts
and ICA/Boston
at the ICA
(Institute of Contemporary Art)
Boston, MA

A stop on the 40th anniversary tour for this idiosyncratic, iconoclastic, prankster-punk band, a masked trio that blends incantation and recollection within an evocative framework of electronic buzz, rhythmic beats and narrative performance.

Ali and Stephanie

Film (2012)

An offbeat love story about a beautiful French orca trainer who confronts a serious personal challenge, and a down and out Belgian fistfighter with a young child.
