Well That Ends Well
Free Shakespeare on the Boston Common
Directed by Steven Maler
For
its 16th season of Shakespeare
on the Common, the
Commonwealth Shakespeare Company is
proud to present the comedy All’s Well
That Ends Well—Shakespeare’s
globe-trotting adventure story of
how far one woman will go to win the
heart of her beloved. Helena loves
Bertram, but marriage is the last
thing on Bertram’s mind. With
boundless wit and tenacity, Helena
pursues Bertram from Paris to
Florence and through a maze of
obstacles thrown at her by chance,
circumstance, and her fiancé’s
recalcitrance, finally emerging
victorious.
 The first hour or so
was great - and we had awesome seats
(see photo at right)! But then the
show got called due to rain. We
don't have a rain date. If you want
to see it on your own, it's playing
through Sunday August 14:
Tuesdays-Saturdays, at 8pm; Sundays
at 7pm.

Commemorate
the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War
at Fort Warren
 George's Island, Boston
Harbor
To
commemorate Fort Warren's role as a
training camp for Massachusetts' Union
troops during the summer of 1861,
Civil War living historians from the
Massachusetts 54th Infantry Regiment
Company A will lead visitors in
marching orders and exercises on Fort
Warren's parade ground. These living
historians will also run interactive
living history demonstrations aimed at
revealing the reality of camp life for
soldiers during the Civil War.
We'll
meet at the gangplank to the 10:00 am
Boston Harbor Islands Ferry at Long
Wharf (Aquarium T stop). There are
also boats at 9 & 11, but your
best bet is the 10:00 where Frank will
be holding a Cambridge
Men's Group sign. The ferry
costs $14 ($10 for seniors 65+) &
takes about twenty minutes to George's
Island.
Bring your lunch (or you can purchase at
George's Island small concession stand).
Re-enactment events run from 11am-4pm.

- North Shore Men
- Gay Men's Art & Architecture

 Next Fall
Broadway's Funniest Heartbreaker
SpeakEasy Stage Out & About Night (includes
post-show party with the cast &
other gay groups)
By Geoffrey Nauffts
Directed by Scott Edmiston
 A 2010 Tony nominee
for Best Play, Next Fall
takes a witty and provocative look at
faith, commitment and unconditional
love. Luke, a devout Christian, and
Adam, a non-believer, have been
together for four years; yet spiritual
differences continue to spark trouble
in their relationship. A sudden twist
of fate, however, changes everything
in this compelling new play that looks
at what it means to 'believe' and what
it might cost us not to.
Dinner before at Addis Red
Sea, and post-show reception
with the cast.

 Last Tuesday Dinner -
New Members Welcome
Pub Sing at the Skellig
240 Moody Street, Waltham, MA
Look for us in the back room. Questions?
Email Joe_F@verizon.net.
Based on a
traditional English pub sing, but
with a bit of
an American flavor, this session
is open to all singers who want
to join in, with chorus songs
that are easy to learn and fun
to sing. We love the fine
old drinking songs and know
plenty of sea chanteys and
chorus songs from the British
Isles and New England, but
anything goes as long as it's
fun and has a chorus or refrain
that people can pick up.
Bring a song to share! More
info on the Pub Sing here.
Getting
There & Back:
If you want to travel as a group by
train, train #429 leaves North Station
at 5:20 PM, stops at Porter Square at
5:30, and gets to Waltham at 5:41. Look
for us with a Cambridge Men's Group sign
in the last car (the sign will get on at
Porter!)
There are three train choices for
getting back. I suspect most of us will
return on the 9:29 from Waltham.

 Queer Dia de los

Please
join us at
Queer
Dia de los Muertos
organized by
Queer
Rites at Harvard Divinity School
The
idea is to collectively remember and
celebrate the queer dead who prepared
the way for all of us. This event is
open to everyone, regardless of gender
or sexuality. Hopefully we all
recognize the debt we owe to the queer
dead (or those we have reclaimed as
such) and want to remember their
impact on our lives.
- Dress
up: The idea is to be
very classy dead people (it's not
Halloween costumes. It's the dead.
Think corpse bride, etc)
- Paint
your face or your friend's
/ boyfriend's / etc. (We will
have supplies at the event.)
- Bring
something for the
altar
- Be your
amazing selves
- Get ready to celebrate,
commemorate, drink, and dance
The Braun Room is located in Andover
Hall at the Divinity School. Here is a map.
And here is the poster
for the event.

America
Anonymous / American
Voyeur
|
|
|
"Bruce
Machart warns you in the
first paragraph of the first
story: the dog dies. Ten
pages later, you know how;
you also suspect that this
slim collection of 10 short
stories will present more
grief, more humanity, more
gasps of shock and
understanding than you'd
expect from only Machart's
second book (after the novel
The Wake of Forgiveness).
And you'd be right." ~~
starred review in Publishers
Weekly
Like Richard Russo,
Bruce Machart has a
profound knowledge of the
male psyche and a gift for
conveying the absurdity
and brutality of daily
life and what it means to
be a man at the rise of a
new millennium with humor
and compassion.
Machart's fiction has
appeared in Zoetrope:
All-Story, Glimmer
Train, Story, One Story
and elsewhere, and has
been anthologized in Best
Stories of the American
West.
|
Benoit Denizet-Lewis is a
writer with the New York
Times Magazine, the
former editor of The
Good Men Project Magazine,
and the author of two
books---America
Anonymous: Eight Addicts
in Search of a Life,
about addiction in America,
and American Voyeur:
Dispatches from the Far
Reaches of Modern Life,
a collection of his writing.
Benoit often writes about
identity, outcasts, and men
living on the fringes of our
national culture. Since
being named named the New
York Times Magazine's youngest
ever contributing writer a
decade ago at the age of 26,
he has profiled NAMBLA
members, homeless
alcoholics, ex-gays,
suicidal brothers, hardcore
teen Christians, gay
middle-schoolers, fraternity
boys, and men on the Down
Low. Benoit's writing has
also appeared in Slate,
Salon, Sports Illustrated,
Details, and in
several anthologies,
including The Best
American Sex Writing
and an upcoming book where
gay authors write about
their childhoods.
