Love, Loss, and What I Wore--This Thursday!
What we wear, or used to wear, can be more than colors, patterns, and fabrics. They can be a time capsule, a scrapbook, to our most intimate memories. A dance. A birth. A funeral. All the coming-of-age insanity that defines us. From the mind that created When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle, and based on the book by Ilene Beckerman, five women relive such moments through a series of monologues and ensemble pieces. They laugh and cry as they talk about childhood, high heels, motherhood, wedding dresses, cancer, surviving rape, and why we wear black.
Bare Bones: Staged Readings at Theatre@First presents
Love, Loss and What I Wore
adapted by Nora & Delia Ephron
from the book by Ilene Beckerman

Saxophonist Andy Voelker & the Free Radicals, Saturday 9/30 at Third Life Studio
I'm honored to present ubiquitous Boston saxman Andy Voelker's Free Radicals featuring bassist Jef Charland (Clear Audience, Blue Ribbons, Gill Aharon Trio), drummer Luther Gray (Jerry Bergonzi, Fully Celebrated Orchestra, Clear Audience) and a rare-these-days jazz appearance by pianist James Rohr (Blue Ribbons, Thank God for Science, Township), Sat 9/30 at 8pm at Third Life Studio, 33 Union Sq, Somerville!
Andy has been active on Boston's jazz scene for over 20 years and is among the area's top saxophone voices. He's well known to Boston jazz audiences for his part in such bands as Clear Audience and Gypsy Schaeffer, sideman appearances with many of the area's top players, and for leading a number of jazz jams over the years. He currently hosts a popular late night jam Fridays at Thelonious Monkfish in Cambridge. Andy is also an enthusiastic educator, working with kids & bands from elementary school to high school. This should be a great night of high spirits and beautiful, adventurous music.
