Today marked an exciting–and very important–landmark in the development of the Boston Harbor Islands national park area with the unveiling of a new welcome center on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. The grand opening was marked by a ceremony that included remarks by Mayor Menino and Vicki Kennedy. My first impression is that the Island Alliance, [...]
If you’re walking through the Boston Public Garden over the next two weeks and catch someone with headphones on staring at you, don’t be alarmed; they’re just your adoring audience. The pretentiously spelled ArtsEmerson program is sponsoring Susurrus, David Leddy’s “play without actors and without a stage,” according to the ArtsEmerson web site. As far as [...]
