B-CC High School presents their spring play, WHITE LIARS AND BLACK COMEDY
White Liars and Black Comedy
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE
March 13, 14, 20 & 21, 2009 @ 7:30 pm
Tickets are $10 for all ages, general admission
BOX OFFICE: 240-497-6346
B-CC Drama: Fortune Tellers, Rock Stars and Other Artistic Types...
will be among the comical characters featured in B-CC's Spring Play , The White Liars and Black Comedy , which will run March 13, 14, 20 and 21 in the B-CC Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. The two one-act plays by Peter Shaffer will be staged "Black Box" theater style with the audience sitting in chairs on stage surrounding the action, creating a unique and intimate experience for all.
The White Liars depicts a fateful encounter between a down and out fortune teller, a rock musician and his agent. The agent bribes Baroness Lemberg to fake some hocus pocus over a crystal ball, ostensibly to discourage the musician from pursuing his girlfriend. The trickery entangles each of them in a dense web of mendacity. Recently revived at The Roundabout Theatre in New York with Black Comedy, White Liars is a sharply etched study of characters steeped in deception. "Farce with a capital F." Christian Science Monitor . "A tour de force." N.Y. Newsday . "A lot of fun." New Yorker .
Black Comedy depicts lovesick and desperate sculptor Brindsley Miller, who has embellished his apartment with furniture and objects d'arte "borrowed" from the absent antique collector next door hoping to impress his fiancee's pompous mother and a wealthy art dealer, Bamberger. The fussy neighbor, Harold Gorringe returns just as a blown fuse plunges the apartment into darkness and Brindsley is revealed teetering on the verge of very ripe farce. Unexpected guests, aging spinsters, errant phone cords and other snares impede his frantic attempts to return the purloined items before light is restored.
Seating is limited with only 120 seats available for each performance. There will be no overflow seating in the auditorium. Tickets are $10 each (general admission, no reserved seating) and can be purchased by clicking the link above.
Each one act play is double-cast with B-CC students. Check the here for the cast list and performance dates. Content is appropriate for audiences ages 10 years and up.

Crib crisis for local low-income moms and their babies
From: A WIDER CIRCLE
Mothers having to put their babies in laundry baskets to sleep - that is
what one local agency told us they have to advise these days. They and many
other agencies just can not find the cribs they need. But we know there are
enough gently used cribs in good condition in our homes, and I am hoping you
can help us to get them in the hands of these young moms.
I apologize for sending a second listserv email in February, but we have
received more than a half dozen calls in the last week from agencies that
can no longer find or provide basic need/essential items for young mothers
and their babies. Fortunately we have been able to respond with cribs,
changing tables, strollers, etc. We will continue to respond with the
grassroots, volunteer-led system we have in place for other furniture and
home goods, and we are creating partnerships with some of the agencies that
have called so we can work together to ensure their clients get what they
need.
In expectation of this trend continuing, I am hoping you can spread the word
about the significant need for cribs and other baby items. We will also be
distributing flyers at local schools and day care centers so if you know of
places to send these flyers, please let us know. Cribs and all baby items
can be dropped off at our Center for Community Service in Silver Spring
(9159-C Brookville Road, SS MD 20910) or folks can call us to schedule a
pick-up of items that can not be dropped off.
Please email or call with any ideas or questions as we respond with the
energy our most vulnerable neighbors need!
Thanks,
Mark
