us for a dynamic and provocative day of ideas and discussion!
Saturday,
October 11, 2008
Park Avenue Congregational Church, 50 Paul Revere Rd., Arlington,
MA
Schedule
9:30 - 10:00: Registration
10:00 - noon: Welcome & Panel: Patchwork of Days What's
it like to actually homeschool your kids? How do philosophy and
reality intersect in the practical, day-to-day world of homeschooling?
Experienced homeschooling parents talk about their successes,
challenges, and the life of a home educator. This panel is designed
to cover frequently asked questions about homeschooling, while
providing inspiring testimony on the homeschooling lifestyle.
Panelists will represent a range of homeschooling approaches and
methodologies. Time will be set aside for audience questions.
noon - 1:30: Lunch & Focus Groups
1:30 - 3:30: Panel: Grown Homeschoolers "How do they
turn out?" is one of the perennial homeschooling questions.
Our panel of four homeschooled young adults helps address it.
They'll talk about homeschooling from the vantage point of the
kids, the experience of forging their life paths, and what it's
like to live in a mostly schooled society. Another perennial question
- "What about college?" -- is looked at through the
lens of homeschoolers representing a range of possible choices.
The session winds up with a Q&A with the audience.
Food: We will provide light refreshments. There are many
places to buy lunch a short walk away, or feel free to bring your
own non-messy food and drink.
Children: Because we are unable to make special accommodations
for children, we ask that you leave at home children who will
be as happy or happier there with a loving caregiver. Children
over 12 months old who accompany you will need to register, pay
the registration fee, and be supervised by you at all times.

you want to keep in touch with.

Shakespeare's
Othello, presented by New Repertory Theatre, Arsenal Center for
the Arts, 321 Arsenal St., Watertown, MA.
"Reputation
is an idle and most false imposition…" -Iago
Shakespeare's classic revenge tragedy comes to life in New Rep
On Tour's production of Othello. Trust and friendship are put
to the test as Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army,
is lied to by his best friend Iago about the fidelity of Desdemona,
Othello's wife and the daughter of the Senator. Did she have an
affair with Cassio, Iago's rival? Is Iago telling the truth? Was
that her Othello saw in the window that night? The questions plague
Othello, until suspicion, revenge and manipulation drive him to
do the unthinkable.

"Some

John Steinbeck's 1937 classic tale introduced the world to two
wanderers, realistic George and simple-minded Lennie, who walk
the highways of California looking for jobs to make ends meet.
With the Great Depression all around them, it is their dream of
one day having their own farm that keeps them drifting from town
to town. But that dream is lost when Lennie unknowingly jeopardizes
everything they've worked towards.

Chekhov's
Three Sisters
Thursday, May 7 at 10:00 AM
Chekhov's
Three Sisters, presented by New Repertory Theatre, Arsenal Center
for the Arts, 321 Arsenal St., Watertown, MA.
What
is keeping these three promising sisters from getting to Moscow?
Raised with the utmost standards of refinement and taste, Olga,
Masha, and Irina cling desperately to vivid memories of the thriving
Moscow they left as children. The play, in a thrilling new translation
by Curt Columbus, begins on the anniversary of their father's
death. Feeling suffocated and unable to bear the triviality of
their lives, the sisters endeavor to fill them with excitement.
Tempers flare, and appetites go unchecked, eliciting feral and
treacherous responses that turn this proper Prozorov home into
an emotional minefield.
