About the play:

 

Victor Garber in

PRESENT LAUGHTER

by Noel Coward

Directed by Nicholas Martin

May 18 - June 17, 2007

 

Boston University Theatre

264 Huntington Avenue, Boston

 

Victor Garber (Broadway's "Sweeney Todd" and "Arcadia" and TV's "Alias") stars as aging matinee idol Garry Essendine in one of Noel Coward's funniest and most delightful comedies. Devastatingly handsome and thoroughly charming, Garry lives his life like it's one grand performance. But on the eve of a major tour, things fall apart in hysterical fashion as he juggles old flames, a crazed playwright, and

(gasp!) middle age. Nicholas Martin, the Huntington's own master of laughter, directs.

The YWA is looking for a volunteer to assist us with designing a new website.

We are a small non-profit coalition in the South End/Lower Roxbury, working with the staff of youth programs, in order to create a more well-coordinated and supportive community for all youth. We work with all the youth agencies in the community, as well as many others across the city. And our alliance is a model for others throughout the city.

Our current website contains only the most basic info & images. We're hoping to create something that visually shows our connection to our beautiful neighborhood and to young people. We need someone to create the visual design, and someone to do the CCS coding. And our fantasy is to do this over February & March.

Please call so we can discuss whether our needs and your interests will be a good match.

Thank you!
