You can hardly miss the bureaucratic blunders pervading nightly newscasts, but if you are looking for more babble, we have another option. Tonight the Arts at St. John’s, in conjunction with Fantasy Theatre Factory, will present readings of Eugene Ionesco’s The Bald Soprano and The Lesson. When Ionesco began learning English — as his third language — he was amazed by the repetitive and nonsensical phrases of his lessons, thus the workings of The Bald Soprano (La Cantatrice Chauve). Although it was originally written as a serious drama, audiences were amused and Ionesco quickly established himself in the theater of the absurd. Guests are welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy the meaningless banter of Ionesco’s characters on the back patio of St. John’s Church, which overlooks the canal. Admission is free, and chairs will be provided. Call 305-613-2325, or visit www.artsatstjohns.com.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
