Jane Condon Comedy Show: “Janie Unchained” Wednesday, March 31, 7 pm
Jane Condon, a veteran of “Last Comic Standing,” will perform her show “Janie Unchained” in Hendrix Hall at 7 pm Wed., March 31. Accolades like “sensational” and “hysterical” follow Jane Condon wherever she performs, whether it’s as the audience favorite on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” or in gigs leading to Back Stage magazine’s dubbing her one of its “Comedy Best Bets.” A Nantucket summer resident, Jane has partnered with the Unitarian Church to promote on-Island laughter in the off-season. Most of the year she lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with her husband and two sons. “Otherwise,” she says, “everything’s fine.” One son has recently graduated from college with a major in religion. “You can imagine,” she says, “The job offers are just pouring in.” The suggested donation for the show is $15 adults, $7.50 students.

We endeavor to continue spreading Dr. Zinn's message and honor his memory by showing his new DVD, "The People Speak," which explores the concept of democracy based on the lives and experiences of ordinary Americans. This groundbreaking documentary reminds us that democracy is not a spectator sport and to never take liberty for granted. Admission is free. - Peace & Justice Committee.

Frameworks: “Citizens United.” Tues., May 4, 7 pm. The recent US Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission has sparked a number of responses, including a proposed Constitutional amendment, to limit the finding that corporations have free speech rights of human beings.
