What is it that you mean that you cannot say? What is our truth that we cannot make true? What is so true that you cannot believe? Oh, I heard something about that. I Heard, is a series of monologues and short scenes strung together with honesty and vulgarity. Photography and a score by Christopher Wood bring depth and visual representation to this production that deals with ideas regarding how we say and do things that we do not mean, and mean and do things that we do not say. How do we blind ourselves to our truth? Those who are easily offended should attend at their own risk. _______________________________________________________ Thu., Dec. 30, 10pm-2am: The Gathering. bboys. bgirls. break dancing. open mic for MCs.

Griffith, 1932, 85 minutes, B&W, 1.33:1) Leslie Howard stars in the first film adaptation of Philip Barryâs 1931 romantic comedy about a publisher of the esoteric caught between his free-loving bo-ho artist best friend (Ann Sheridan) and his would-be socialite wife (Myrna Loy). Thereâs Always Tomorrow (Peter Godfrey, 1946, 87 minutes, B&W, 1.33:1) Dennis Morgan assumes the Leslie Howard role in Warner Brotherâs 1942 noir reimaging of Phillip Barryâs classic play.
