When:   November 1, 2007 8:00pm-9:00pm
Where:   The Fabulous Jalopy Theatre
315 Columbia St., Red Hook Brooklyn
Price:   $10 Tix 718.395.3214
Type:   Arts

Near-dead, under siege and alone in the Dakota Badlands, Stanley Hewitt "Pop" Moss VI makes his last stand, while conjuring up an ornery gun-slinging son, Chindi Blood Witches, long-lost melodies, and the myth and memories of a bittersweet past. The Holy Ghostly is a raw-boned, early Sam Shepard play, casting spells and incantations over the shadows of a ghost-lit campfire. The Holy Ghostly unfolds in a free-fall of syncopated language and haunted back-beats that propel this spellbound one-act to its apocalyptic climax – "Abandon the creeping meatball!" Directed byFrank Palmer with Frank Palmer, Steve Payne and Geoff Wiley

Where:   The Y95 tailgate will be in Lot D starting at 10am. Look for the Y95 banner and balloons and for a tailgate overflowing with hospitality of all kinds.
Price:   Free
Type:   Party

Remember the crisp fall air at the Yale Bowl? Remember catching up with friends and enjoying a beer at the tailgates in Lot D? Remember rushing the field after Yale defeats Harvard? If you've ever considered returning to New Haven for a Yale/Harvard Game, this is the year to do it! We are at the midway point between our 10th and 15th reunions and this year's Game will feature a Y95 tailgate that we hope will draw classmates from around the country. Yale is at the top of Ivy football rankings and the Game could decide the League title. The tailgate and the Game will be a perfect chance to reconnect with old friends and a great introduction to Yale for all the children we read about in the class notes. You will be hearing from a member of your residential college with further details over the coming months. We hope to maximize attendance and make this a true mini-reunion. If you're on the fence, come! It promises to be a day of great football with even better friends. If you have any questions or would like to help with the tailgate or help recruit classmates to attend, please email Alison at This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript or Jill at This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript We look forward to seeing many of you in November!

Backstage, Editors Pick "All things are open to interpretation. War. Peace. Politics." ELJ Review "Smart" New York Times, Top Readers Pick Produced by Immediate Medium Directed by J.J. Lind Written by Michael Smart Choreography by Liz Vacco With Max Dana, Brady Jenkins, Ainna Manapat, Mai Ushiroku and Liz Vacco Sets by Jared Lawton Video and Sound by Robert Ramirez Costumes by Maki Takenouchi Things Are Going to Change, I Can Feel It. is an absurdist tale of a Midwestern stewardess who becomes the president of the United States of Whosiwhatsits. During her years of leadership, under the Party of the Loosened Corset, she is confronted with an invasion by Britain, an extended war, economic distress and her own failures and triumphs as a political leader. Things Are Going to Change, I Can Feel It. is a non-narrative, multi-media collage of performance, video, dance, and music. Scored to the Beatles' Abbey Road, the piece examines the political and emotional impact of war, terrorism, airplane crashes, torture, ineffectual presidencies and "reality" pop culture on our national conscience. With the very real possibility of our first female president, the piece is a timely examination of the continued threats to our civil liberties, the war in Iraq and on terrorism and collective anxiety over the current leadership of our nation.
