Boston theatre/arts

[hermionesviolin]

Yesterday, Nicole asked me for recommendations of plays and stuff (because I'm the go-to person for that) and later I was chatting with Nicki and told her I would send her links as well.  It was fun going through my files (so to speak), especially since I tend to forget about some of them.  So since a fair number of you are in the Boston area, I thought I'd post the list.  It's mostly theatre (and film), fyi.

Reminder, in case it got lost in the shuffle:

One of Ellen Page's many new movies is having free promotional screenings.  I'm going to Boston's Dec. 5 one (so I can watch with Amy) but RSVP'ed 2 tickets in case anyone wants to come with.
