May 7-8….Downtown Art Market – It’s been a year since this little experiment started...365 days of fun and work. It has been a lot of work for a lot of people and all of it worthwhile.

The support and outpouring of love from friends and neighbors has just been overwhelming-too good to be true. This month the DAM is a two day event, Friday the 7th during the First Friday Art Trail 6 p.m.- 9 p.m. and in its usual time on Saturday the 8th from 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. That's two chances to come down and see what the hub-bub is about!

FRIDAY, SATURDAY and SUNDAY

May 7, 8, 9 (repeats 14, 15, 16)….“No Sex Please, We’re British” - A young bride who lives above a bank with her husband who is the assistant manager, innocently sends a mail order off for some Scandinavian glassware. What comes is Scandinavian pornography. The plot revolves around what is to be done with the veritable floods of pornography, photographs, books, films and eventually girls that threaten to engulf this happy couple. The matter is considerably complicated by the man's mother, his boss, a visiting bank inspector, a police superintendent and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his reluctant efforts to set everything right, all of which works up to a hilarious ending of closed or slamming doors. This farce ran in London over eight years and also delighted Broadway audiences. Written by Alistair Foot and Anthony Marriott and directed by John A. Packard. Rating Comedy PG 13. Lubbock Community Theatre (formerly Boston Avenue Playhouse), 4232 Boston Avenue; Fridays and Saturdays 8 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m.
