Thriller ‘Wait Until Dark’ jumps out at you at CTD
It was one of the signature thrillers of the 1960s — the film version of Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn, about a blind woman terrorized by shady villains in her Greenwich Village apartment. But before it was a movie, it was a tense stage play, where the twists and turns are actually more bone-chilling. Contemporary Theatre mounts this classic of the genre.

Gaybingo enters 14th year with Toga Party
The Resource Center began its Gaybingo fundraiser in July of 2001, so this month’s edition marks the start of its 14th year of fun and games — and always with a theme. The theme this time around is Toga Party, but you don’t need to be a fan of Animal House to come up with something fun and sexy to wear, from slave girl to gladiator. As for us, we’re just hoping to enjoy the chance to win money and prizes, raise money for RC and laugh a lot.
