LAST SATURDAY night, a handful of people ambled out a small door onto Tremont Street, and the Atma Theatre closed its doors in the South End for the last time. Sam Samshak has moved his troupe out of the ghetto he grew up in--taken the impoverished Atma Theatre out of Castle Square and into a church basement. An exciting experiment of the arts in the ghetto has ended. But the Atma began anew Thursday evening at the Charles Street Meeting House in central Boston. It has not failed--only moved to where it can be seen...

The afternoon of violence came to an end as Lowell's Phil Elkins pinned Quincy's Steve Landau in an uninspiring match of 137-pounders...
