Hear ye! Hear ye! This Spring, BAct presents a celebration of community through a unique Shakespeare festival showcase.
The Mitchell Performing Arts Center will be transformed into a playful arena where all things Shakespeare converge. Step into the lobby and travel back to the Renaissance with Shakespeare-inspired refreshments, minstrels, and artists ready to entertain you even before you enter the theatre. Then, on the main stage, enjoy a showcase of Shakespearean proportions: monologues, scenes, spoofs, skits, songs, and sonnets performed by community members of all ages!
This is a Shakespeare spectacular you don’t want to miss! $10 tickets for sides and back sections and $12 for the center; buy 4 tickets and the 5th ticket is free!

Uncanny Parallels: The Problems and Possibilities that Swedenborgianism and Buddhism Share
Although Swedenborgianism played a little-known role in introducing Buddhism to the West, there is much more to the relationship between them. They share the essential insight that religion is really about personal transformation, though they offer differing paths to achieve that end. There are also interesting similarities between the Buddhist concepts of karma and rebirth and Swedenborg’s understanding of heaven and hell: both relate to our view of the self, and both have become problematic in some ways. Given the common ground between these two traditions, what can they learn from each other? And what do they both tell us about the spirituality of the here and now?
David Loy is a professor, writer, and Zen Buddhist teacher. He is the author of nine books and numerous articles that offer a Buddhist perspective on Western culture and has taught internationally at the university level about Buddhism.
