The Nora Theatre Company speaks to the times with Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo’s work of politics and hilarity, We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!, playing at Central Square Theater Thursday, September 4 through Sunday, September 28. In the side-splitting satire written in 1974, the housewives have had enough… prices are high and getting higher and it’s time for them to take matters into their own hands, but the challenge is how to keep their husbands from finding out that they’ve stormed the supermarket! With stolen olives, bird seed, and pasta, this farcical comedy about a housewives’ revolt against out of control inflation looks at hypocrisy, injustice, and liberation with a healthy dose of hysterics thrown in for good measure. We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! is translated by Ron Jenkins and directed by The Nora’s Associate Director, Daniel Gidron (IRNE Award nominee - Best Director, Small Theater for The Nora’s production of Buried Child).

Friday, September 12, 2008 at 8:00 PM COMMUNITY PREVIEW: Ensemble in Residence Seully Hall at The Boston Conservatory 8 The Fenway Boston, MA 02215 $12 general, $7 seniors, free to students with ID Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 8:00 PM Green Street Studios 185 Green Street Cambridge, MA 02139 $15 general, $10 students & seniors, $5 children Sunday, September 14, 2008 at 4:30 PM First Church in Boston 66 Marlborough Street Boston, MA 02115 $15 general, $10 students & seniors, $5 children ABOUT THE MUSIC: FIERCE is centered around Jabberwocky, David Cutler's 23 minute operatic setting of Lewis Carol's classic poem for male voice and pierrot ensemble. Cutler fuses such varying musical styles as rap, Sprechstimme, Middle-eastern folk music, Baroque counterpoint, and Renaissance drinking songs to create a dramatic and highly entertaining one-act opera. Praised as one of Pittsburgh's top 10 events of 2005, Jabberwocky features baritone Alan Bailey with stage direction by J. Jacob Krause. Composers Panayiotis Kokoras (Greece) and Isaac Schankler challenge listeners through defiance of convention. Kokoras's Crama for amplified chamber ensemble - commissioned in 2006 by the Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University - pushes so far away from traditional harmony and melody that violence and distortion become the natural beauty of the work. In his song-cycle Sharp, Schankler steers listeners through madness, introspection, and insanity in this powerful and disturbing setting of three poems by Jillian Burcar. Nathan Davis, Paul Dooley, and Ryan Streber explore the hypnotic power of rhythm. Davis's Churn is an intensely virtuosic piece for cello and piano, Dooley's Dani's Dance for piano trio – which won a 2008 ASCAP award – journeys through tribal ceremonies and ecstatic dances, and Streber's Closing Time for saxophone, electric guitar, piano, and percussion exhibits the composer's experiences performing in various New York bar bands. “Everything on the program will excite the listener in a unique way. Each work represents the best of music by today’s young composers," states music director Michael Sakir. "And who better to perform such great music than some of the most talented young musicians in Boston? Juventas’ musicians come together from different backgrounds – including all the major music schools in Boston – to create remarkably compelling performances."

Jacob Krause, artistic director Sara Ann Mitchell, soprano Alan Bailey, baritone Alex Conway, flute Kathleen LeBlanc-Hood, clarinet Michael Couper, alto saxophone Alexa Schmitz, violin Stephanie Skor, violin Kalindi Bellach, viola Brandon Brooks, cello Rachel Arnold, cello Julia Carey, piano Joe Turbessi, piano Patrick Litterst, percussion Eric Gaudette, electric guitar Brickbottom District Open Studios 2007 Time: 12:00am - 6:00pm est Location: Brickbottom District , Somerville, MA
