The Boston Tree Party Planting Event
May 8th
Title: The Boston Tree Party Planting Event
Location: Binford Park

Description: The Boston Tree Party has given FPNA two lovely semi-dwarf apple trees. Gillette is enthusiastically supporting this project. They have committed to a daily watering schedule and have even paid the fee for the tree planting kit, which includes an animal protection system. Their landscaper is testing the soil to be sure it is appropriate for the trees and we are told the fruit will be safe to eat. The two varieties are Roxbury Russet and Esopus Spitzenburg. Heartfelt thanks go to Gary Hall at P&G.
The tree planting will be Sunday May 20th at 1:00 in the Gillette park off of Binford Street. You are invited to bring snacks and beverages for a picnic in the park. We encourage young arborists to attend and the children will get to dig the first shovel fulls (great family photo opportunity). For more information visit: http://www.bostontreeparty.org
Start Time: 13:00

An informal night of friends getting together to read a play about art, consumption, and modern society. http://www.fortpointtheatrechannel.org/productions/2012/1/16/magnificent-waste.html
Fort Point Theatre Channel is launching a series of informal readings of full-length plays, both new and established works. For the first in the series, we are excited to offer Magnificent Waste, introducing Boston to Latina playwright Caridad Svich, winner of the 2011 American Theatre Critics Association Primus Prize.
The reading of Magnificent Waste,
featuring some of our favorite actors, will take place at
10 Channel Center Street
Fort Point, Boston
About The Play
Lizzie B makes shock art. Arden buys beautiful things. A young man wants to be famous. In a modern world addicted to sex, drugs, fashion, and celebrity, three friends make a pact that will change their lives. “Magnificent Waste” explores America’s appetite for excess and presents an unsettling portrait of its own undoing: a glittering but brutal exploration of modern society’s superficiality and the objectification of the human body.
Magnificent Waste had its world premiere in 2011 at Factory 449, a theatre collective in Washington, DC.
About The Playwright
Caridad Svich has been short-listed for the PEN Award in Drama three times. She has received the National Latino Playwrighting Award, the Whitfield Cook Award for New Writing, the HOLA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Playwrighting, the Lee Reynolds Award from the League of Professional Theatre Women, and the Rosenthal New Play Prize. Her theatre pieces and songs, written in English and Spanish, have been presented across the U.S. and abroad at diverse venues, including Denver Center Theatre, Mixed Blood Theatre, Main Street Theatre, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, The Women’s Project, Repertorio Espanol, INTAR, 59East59, Victory Gardens, McCarren Park Pool, and 7 Stages.
About FPTC’s Reading Series
Fort Point Theatre Channel is launching a series of readings of full-length plays to explore both new works and established works we rarely get to read, let alone see. When we say informal, we mean informal: the model is a group of friends getting together to read a play together.
