ARTBEAT SATURDAY, JULY 17th
In the Jimmy Tingle Theater |
| 1:00pm |
Wicked Smaht
Wicked Smaht follows a traditional game show format with a focus on trivial information that
is relentlessly local. The show was once a big hit on City Cable 16—and now it’s back
for a rare live performance at ArtBeat! From Somerville’s people and places to its buildings
and history, Wicked Smaht not only offers a wealth of information, but wicked entertainment, as
well. |
| 2:30pm |
Books of Hope
Books of Hope is a Somerville-based youth program that seeks to create opportunities for self-expression
and advocacy through creative writing. For ArtBeat, the BOH group of young adults will perform
theatrical performances based on works they have written and published. Overarching themes in
these bravely honest and moving works include love and trust. |
| 3:45pm |
Theatre @ First
 Theatre@First’
will perform two one-act plays from the quirky and comedic “All In The Timing” collection
by David Ives. The two acts are: “Philip Glass Buys A Loaf Of Bread” and “The
Universal Language,” which brings together a young woman with a stutter and Don, the creator
and teacher of Unamunda, a wild comic language. Their lesson sends them off into a display of
hysterical verbal pyrotechnics—and, of course, true love.
