Sorry gentle readers for the delay in the usual juicy art & culture gossip. I have filed this email from all over the country, and thought I could send it from NYC...alas... some problem with my wireless connection....
and you were left not knowing until now how you were going to fill your cravings for music, theatre, film and more. You can always check the website www.beaconarts.org for the latest additions to the News & Events if you need to know NOW.
SATURDAY NIGHT - NEXT STEP DANCE PARTY!
Fundraiser for Electric Windows in 2010
We know you have been cooped up in your house too long this
winter, you can't bring yourself to make another snow angel,
shoveling doesn't count as exercise and your cat does not
want to dance with you anymore, so the only thing left to do
is come on out and shake it out.
See you Saturday night!

Movie Night 630pm - OPEN HIVE
This month's film: Fat Head (2009) While most people saw the documentary Super Size Me as an exposé of the fast food industry, comedian and former health writer Tom Naughton saw it as a dare: He'd show that you could lose weight on a diet of burgers and fries. In
addition to chronicling Naughton's weight drop, the film provides interviews with doctors, nutritionists and others to drive home his thesis that most of what we know about "healthy eating" is wrong. (Netflix) (104 mins) BEAHIVE 291 Main Street (at South Brett) www.beahivebeacon.com 845.765.1890
