MONDAY March 9, The Haviland Club Play Reading Group, 7:30 PM
At the request of a couple of people, hard-working leader Robin has managed to scare up a Chekov one-act, “The Boor.” Robin says, “Chekov was part of the movement toward realism that began at the Moscow Art Theatre about 125 years ago. There is a brief Britannica article about that at https://www.britannica.com/topic/Moscow-Art-Theatre. “Method acting” has its roots in that school. If attending (or if you are on the email list and NOT attending, please let Robin know, at rscarson@icloud.com. He will send copies of the play. He also asks that those attending bring Ionesco’s “The Lesson,” which was sent earlier, as the group might take a brief look at it if there is time.

With schedules during March, meeting was not possible on the 3rd Tuesday, so the group will meet on the second Tuesday, March 10.

A Little Humour (Courtesy Coffee with Blarney)
A child asked his father, “How were people born?” So his father said, “Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on.”
Then the child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, “We were monkeys, then we evolved to become like we are now.”
The child ran back to his father and said, “You lied to me!” His father replied, “Oh, no, son, your mom was talking about her side of the family.”
Come to the Haviland Club, where the draw is the people!
