Sam Markson: “I’m eyeing the program at Ryles this week. Also check out some of the shows at Berklee (big stage and small — a lot of them free). For you theatrical types, check out The Corn is Green at the Huntington (see article), Chekhov’s The Seagull at the Zero Arrow Theatre, and Howard Zinn’s Daughter of Venus at Boston Playwrights’ Theatre (great for families, I hear).”
Sudeep Agarwala: “Sure, it’s early, but never early enough to start preparing for Benjamin Britten’s re-telling of Noah and his Arc in the childrens’ opera Noyes Fludde, playing Saturday, February 7, 2009. More information can be found at http://www.cantatasingers.org/season/08-09/feb7.htm
