Underground Railway Theater - Presents

QED
An Evening With Richard Feynman
A play by Peter Parnell about the Nobel Prize winning physicist, MIT
alumnus, brilliant and controversial theorist, prankster,
safecracker, & lover of Tuvan throat singing

Directed by Jon Lipsky
Starring Keith Jochim

This funny, surprisingly moving, and deeply inspirational play about
scientific inquiry as an expression of the human spirit was previewed
to sold-out audiences as part of the Cambridge Science Festival this
past April/May.

Join us for a series of post-performance discussions led by
scientists of the MIT and Harvard communities, many of whom knew
Feynman personally, including Bob Jaffe, Marc Abrams, David Kaiser,
Owen Gingerich, Frank Wilczek, and Jerry Friedman.

Call 866-811-4111 or buy tickets online at:

You can see more information and a complete performance/post-
performance speaker schedule at http://web.mit.edu/arts/announcements/

Central Square Theater and Alliger Arts present

Coming Up for Air - An AutoJAZZography

Conceived and performed by Boston's favorite jazzman Stan Strickland
Written and Directed by Jon Lipsky

Award-winning show back by popular demand!!
**8 Instruments, 12 Characters, 1 Man!**

A riff about life and art that takes the audience on a dramatic
musical odyssey of soulful discovery.
Based on a true-life near death experience when Strickland almost
drowned off the coast of Hawaii and literally had his life and career
flash before his eyes.

"An 80-minute marvel... Luminous... So vivid that you long to find
out more." - Boston Globe
"A class act (full of) mischief, spirituality, lust and pain." -
Boston Phoenix
