...Call, the Brookline Arts Center, and the Boston Food Coop. At a screening I attended last year, a series of Nick Zedd shorts were shown on a portable screen in the now defunct Studio 54 on Queensbury Street in the Fenway. The audience lounged on the floor, passing around beer from a Bud suitcase to friends and strangers alike, while Lydia Lunch spouted profanities overhead...
...lights are dim, as I sweep up a pile of beer cans, broken exacto knives, empty coffee cups and cigarette butts. I am the janitor for What Is To Be Done? and the editors left me here to write this week's notes. It is up to me to inform you that this will be the last magazine until September, as my generous employers are going on their well deserved summer vacations.

Sandra Shipley slinks about as Blanche DuBois, while James Andreassi as Stanley sits lolling his tongue, shouting "Stella!" every fifteen seconds and occasionally spraying the overheated Blanche with a beer. Funny, but the humor fades long before the actors do. Not even the sudden introduction of Maggie from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, as well as instant parodies of Mamet and Beckett tossed in like ingredients in Ubu's wild bouillabaise, can save it from ennui. Every now and then...
