1 Yours for the taking.
2 Ah, the THEATUH.
3 Luv you, dahlings!
4 Muuuuuuuwahhhhhh!
5 It’s showtime folks.
6 First off, I’d like to thank Evelyn of Evelyn fame for sending us all a link to 100 free shows, beginning last week, but really, beginning tonight! Thanks in large part to this fun link, you can get out and enjoy some THEATUH for the next few weeks, and if you’re pretty slick, for free!

8 Ya gotta LOVE it.
9 Each Wednesday you could get tix, so naturally I’m all over this like white on wool. Thanks Evelyn; with tough times happening everywhere, it’s an awesome deal.
10 While we’re on the subject of theatre, be sure to get out to see our own Angie Higgins in Henry James’ classic The Turn of the Screw this weekend at the Broadway West Theatre Company in Fremont. This is closing weekend, so get there early. Broadway West is located at 4000 B-Bay St. in Fremont, call 510.683.9218 for ticket info. Shows are tomorrow night at 8 p.m. $15, and Friday and Saturday nights, also at 8 p.m., $22. They have a Sunday matinee at 1 p.m. as well. The reviews have been glittering, but with Angie in there, what do you expect?
11 And here’s the AWESOME review I read recently in the Fremont Tri-City Voice:

13 And the Merc News has furbished directions for the totally inept:

14 Ya gotta love it. And if you want further accolades for the show proper, check this review out by the venerable W. Fred Crow of the Milpitas Post:

15 It’s an eary start for theatre season, but there’s a lot more. Check out tomorrow’s Merc News while it’s still paper; they have some GREAT shows in the Eye.
16 Good to see.
17 I’d like to send a big shout out to both Evelyn and Angie for sending this stuff along and making our enjoyment of the arts in good ol’ San Jose something tangible. I sometimes feel a bit lost sitting up on the Hill looking out over the valley. I get so engaged in my own personal daily activities that I almost forget there’s a vibrant art world out there, everywhere.
18 Like most of you, I keep my head on the grindstone and after a fashion, completely forget to look up, get away, and enjoy what’s real.
19 Anyway, if you don’t have time, make time and go support the arts. Every time I’ve had my fill of baby carriages with grown men screaming and whining, or of those annoying caveman commercials, or pretty much ANYTHING on the teevee these days, I like to take a walk through the arts, maybe even swim through museums and paint, or swim right throuh an art and wine faire.
20 Try the arts this weekend.
21 I’m guessing it’ll liberate the soul.
22 See you tomorrow.
23 Hope this worked for you.
24 Peace.
