Set in a local hair salon and with lines as up-to-date as the morning's news, Shear Madness is theatre with the audience as a central character. In this Boston institution, ongoing at the Charles Playhouse since 1980, the audience gets to help solve a murder mystery in a laugh-a-minute blend of whodunit and improvisational theater. The clues change every night and the laughs come fast and funny. This worldwide phenomenon is filled with up to the minute spontaneous humor and quicksilver improvisation. The audience becomes part of the action and gets to solve the crime.

Voted "Best Comedy of the Year" seven times by the Boston Globe and recipient of the title "Best Play of the Year" by both the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Enquirer, "Shear Madness" has also received the Raven Award from the Mystery Writers of America and has been inducted into the Comedy Hall of Fame, the first play ever to receive that accolade. "Shear Madness" is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest running play in the history of the USA.

From its six-year run in New York City to a world tour from London to Seoul, the celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show now takes Boston by storm, bringing the ultimate disco experience – a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens. Come party on the dance floor to all the 70s disco hits you know by heart as the show unfolds around you. The Donkey Show tells the story of A Midsummer Night’s Dream through the great 70s anthems, including “We are Family,” “I Love the Nightlife,” “Car Wash,” “Ring My Bell,” and “Last Dance.” The enchanted forest of Shakespeare’s classic comedy becomes the glittered world of retro disco as the lovers escape from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and fantasy.

MOVE ME, is a “pop up” art project that travels through the streets of Cambridge for two weeks this spring in conjunction with an exhibition in the CAC Gallery (344 Broadway, 2nd Fl., Cambridge) from April 2 through June 15, 2012. The project investigates themes of immigration, national identity, and life transitions through the metaphor of animal migration. The project features a “performance” of wrapped vehicles with images of migrating animals from Paul's work, creating a metaphorical skin moving through the streets of Cambridge. The vehicles "pop up" in unexpected places to both surprise viewers and stimulate a community dialogue about boundaries, borders and barriers – both real and perceived. Inspired by artist Roberta Paul’s travels to the Serengeti in Tanzania, Africa, this multifaceted event features a six-week gallery exhibition at the CAC Gallery.
