stupid blue laws

[alonewiththemoon]

I just heard back from the Arlington Center from the Arts, which would be a perfect venue for both the workshops and the hafli, only according to their lease they are not allowed to have performances on Sundays.  Argh!  It was totally affordable, too, and had no issues with having vendors.  I would just go for the Dance Complex, except that they for some reason do not allow vendors and we all wants shopping!  Well, back to the drawing board...  I might still see about having the workshops at the Dance Complex and the hafli elsewhere in the area...

Their lease has that written in? how strange! It's not against the law in arlington, or if it is, the Arlington Friends of the Drama are getting away with performing on Sundays somehow.

I'm guessing it's because the Center is in such a residential neighborhood--it used to be one of the junior high schools of the town, so it's a little away from the business districts.

YMCA Central?

Or maybe you just need to shmooze the right person at the right time at the ACA? I find them sometimes helpful, sometimes REALLY flaky. And they are no good via email.

But I had an idea!!! The YMCA theater in Central Sq??? In combination with the Dance Complex maybe, or maybe solo? They are cheap too...

I like the price at the Y, that's for sure, and if we could do without mirrors we could use just that venue. I'll have to take a look at it again--I remember being there before and thinking that the stage was too high for good sightlines, but maybe I was sitting on the floor or something...
