We are in need of ushers this weekend soon, we have a shortage.
We also need several people (12 to 18) for our annual Raise the
Roof benefit.  Please volunteer & see some of the best & most
talented performers around for free.

   Thanks for enter this Matthew, you've probably gotten a few more
ushers this way.
   Can you give a history of the Performance Network?  I've heard
about it from Arwulf, and perhaps been there once or twice, but
don't know much at all about it.

I'm sorry the notice on this is rather late, but I didn't get it
until the other day & I was too busy to enter it until now.

Wow, this has been dead for a while.
Well I no longer work at the Network, but I stll attend the
shows when I can. The current production is a wonderful show,
rather off the wall, but good fun. It's called The Robbers
Nightmare, by Malcom Tulip. It only plays tonight and  tomorrow
(Sat and Sun) but if you have one of those evenings free and are
looking for something different to do this is a good show to see.
663-0681 for reservations, 663-0696 for other information.

And now, the current show, as of Thursday 23 March, is "The Ice Wolf,"
presented by the Ann Arbor Young People's Theatre.  It is the story of a
young Eskimo lass who is ostracized because of the fair hair and light skin
with which she is born.  In revenge, she asks the ice gods to make her a wolf,
so that she may wreak havoc in her former home village.

        This show was written in 1963, in a break with the tradition of fluffmy
play-writing for children.  It intentionally dealt with the issues of
diversity and tolerance, in an era strongly focused on those topics.  They
are no less relevant today, and this show is a realistic portrayal of how
intolerance divides and destroys even small, close-knit communities.

Still waiting for background on this.......please fill us in.

Not sure what you're asking.

Now Showing, May 14, 18-20, 25-28: "Tea" by Velina Hasu Houston.
"Tea" is the story of five Japanese women who married American GIs after
WWII and moved to central Kansas.  Four survivors gather at the home of
the fifth, after her suicide, to clean up her affairs, take tea, and
reflect upon their lives as aliens in America's heartland.  At issue is
the dilemma of cultural assimilation and identity retention which faces
many immigrants and ethnic communities in the United States.  


The story is set in 1968, and its title derives from the focus on the
tradition of taking tea, and its value in Japanese society.
Tickets are $12 general admission, $9 students and seniors.  Call (313)
