This is pretty cool news, off of the East Side Public Education Coalition’s website:

Arts supporters and dedicated ESPEC readers will remember that the theater progam at Hope High was almost killed in the summer of 2006, but was saved at the last minute through the efforts of many supporters. This week, Ari showed us why it was all worthwhile.

Ari Brisbon, a student at Hope High School on Providence’s East Side, has won the state Shakespeare Acting and Recitation competition.

• Saturday the 19th can only mean the 31st Annual Pawtucket Red Sox Hot Stove League Party. 11am-2 pm at McCoy Stadium. Whoop whoop!
• The George Wiley Center is screening the Cynthia McKinney poli-doc American Blackout tonight at 630 at the Bell Street Chapel, and Sunday, Jan. 20th at 2pm at the Mediator Fellowship hall at 55 Rounds Ave. More info here.

And if you can’t get enough of Black Rep’s affiliate artists, Stephen Baucher, of Workhorse Theatre Co has a new project in the second half of its two-week run at Perishable. Wild Porcelain is an absurd physical comedy. Spoken in Dutch, Spanish and English, the story takes audiences to the top of a mythical mountain where the bonds of friendship are challeng ed by a force of ridiculosity. Since its Mr. Baucher at the helm here, you should be sure to expect amazing movement. This one is also at 8pm tonight and tomorrow night, and at 2pm on Sunday. If you missed “With Claws and Beak” you can’t afford to drop the ball on this one.
