[GSC-HCA-Offcampus] Off-Campus Housing February Events

[Elise Ledieu]

Hello Off-Campus Residents!

As the new semester is about to start off, we´ve got a cosy artsy line-up for you. If you feel like a painter or a movie addict or a play fanatic, we offer you options to explore the Boston scene. Participants will be selected from the signups (http://signup.mit.edu/OCH_Jan) on a lottery basis.

As always, if you have a suggestion for an event or an issue regarding off-campus life that could be relevant for discussion with the GSC, please let us know. If you have an event that you would like advertised to this list, use this form: http://goo.gl/QtXtNP. We're always looking for help brainstorming and organizing new events.

Also, please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns or ideas for a better MIT Off-Campus community!

Your friendly Off-Campus- Co-chairs,
Rachit, Elise, and Olesya

Description: Choice? Fate? Destiny?

Two actors. Six characters. Four different courses of action. What will happen next? Master of form Alan Ayckbourn’s (Absurd Person Singular) Intimate Exchanges follows marriages and love affairs in a London suburb. Meet Celia Teasdale, the wife of the drunken headmaster of the local school. And then, there’s Sylvie Bell, Celia’s part-time help, to whom there is more than meets the eye – is she a modern day Eliza Doolittle? In the opening scene, Celia steps into her backyard and eyes a pack of cigarettes. Her choice leads to one of four possibilities. On alternating performances, you can follow either Celia or Sylvie in their path throughout the play. At intermission, place your vote on how you want the play to end. And, if you don’t like the result, you’ve nobody to blame but yourself!
