Regular readers of this blog have seen many mentions of the theater company The Civilians. Their latest benefit is Monday, May 12th. Come join me and James at this fun event.
Update: I forgot to mention that Mary Testa and Celia Keenan-Bolger will be among the performers, and that the silent auction is likely to have some good art in it. I know that Mixed Greens is donating some pieces.
