Play Reading in the BCA Space
An entertaining evening: April 13 & 27 at 7:30 pm
Experienced raconteur and play-reader Bedford's own Lois Pulliam will lead readings of The Importance of Being Earnest (A Trivial Comedy for Serious People) and Death of a Salesman at the BCA Space this month.
With no specific parts assigned, participants will go around the room each reading the next speech in sequence, thus assuring that everyone has an equal chance at the good parts as well as the not-so-wonderful ones -- and occasionally matching unlikely voices and characters!
Lois notes that she has a few extra
copies of Importance and can
perhaps pick up more from the Friends of the Library, as she donated
multiple copies of both plays late last summer. She also emphasizes that this is NOT a drama class, but a read-aloud for fun.
April 13: The Importance of Being Earnest
April 27: Death of a Salesman
The fee for this
two-session group is $15; an individual session is $10. Click here to reserve your place.

Third Friday Crafternoon
April 16 from 3 to 6 pm in the BCA Space
In preparation for BCA's upcoming Alloy Orchestra event featuring the silent movie swashbuckler Douglas Fairbanks in The Black Pirate, we'll be drawing pirates, rigging galleons and decorating pirate headgear on April 16.
Join us and create your very own pirate look! (Then wear your creation and join the fun when Alloy Orchestra visits Bedford on May 21)

Friday Night at the Movies!
Private screening: "Who Does She Think She Is?" in Bedford on April 30
Naming more than a handful of nationally prominent women artists is harder than you might think, perhaps in some measure because of the issues examined in Who Does She Think She Is?, a feature-length film directed by Pamela Tanner Boll. Following the lives of five female artists, Tanner Boll examines the pressures of children, family and relationships on women and the creative process.
BCA's screening will take place at 7 pm on April 30 in a 25-seat home theater in Bedford; directions to the screening room will be provided when you reserve your ticket. Reservations are first-come, first-served; click to make your reservation now.
