| Sat. Apr 27 to Sat. Jun 15 |
Enjoy the beauty of nature and an
architectural masterpiece—become a
docent or volunteer at Frank Lloyd
Wright’s Graycliff. And its close,
too---just a brief 20 minute drive
from Buffalo.
Graycliff Docent Training 2013 will
begin on Saturday, April 27th and
continue on Saturday mornings at 9 am
through June 15th (Except Memorial Day
weekend.) Graycliff Docents guide
tours for visitors from throughout
WNY, across the country and around the
globe.
Educational sessions will be held at
Graycliff, and offer a wonderful
opportunity to learn about Wright’s
Organic architecture and Buffalo
history; to meet others fascinated by
Wright’s architecture; and learn to
lead tours that we are regularly told
are the most highly regarded of any
Wright property nationally.
Sessions will include discussions,
readings, guest speakers,
presentations available only for
docents-in-training, hands-on practice
and a field trip or two.
Not interested in becoming a docent,
but would like to be involved?
Volunteers are also welcome to help
with the gift shop; the Green Team
(which maintains Graycliff’s historic
gardens and grounds); special events;
tidying our historic buildings; and
many other things.

| Breath, Boom by Kia Corthron |
| Fri. May 17 to Sun. Jun 2 |
Next on the Ujima stage is Breath, Boom by
Kia Corthron. Fourteen years in the life of Prix,
a Bronx native, from her ruthless girl-gang
leadership at sixteen through her coming to
maturity at thirty. Kia Corthron is a fast rising
contemporary playwright. Her ability to
convey the language and beat of her
characters puts her in a class almost by
herself, and this is no more evident than in
this play. Corthron is often recognized for
tackling important subjects, especially since
they are topics, and about people, that the
theatre (and film, and television, and every
other sort of performance) regularly ignore. |
