On Friday, February 23, 2006, at The Irish Cultural Center located at 1106 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85004 j oin Arizona Readers Theater as we end our celebration of Waiting for Beckett: A Centenary Celebration.

Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. ... Yes, yes, it`s the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it`s always the same thing. Yes, it`s like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don`t laugh any more. Samuel Beckett, Endgame.
Of all the English-language modernists, Beckett`s work represents the most sustained attack on the realist tradition. He, more than anyone else, opened up the possibility of drama and fiction that dispense with conventional plot and the unities of place and time in order to focus on essential components of the human condition. Writers like V clav Havel, John Banville, Aidan Higgins and Harold Pinter have publicly stated their indebtedness to Beckett`s example, but he has had a much wider influence on experimental writing since the 1950s, from the Beat generation to the happenings of the 1960s and beyond. In an Irish context, he has exerted great influence on writers like John Banville, Derek Mahon, Thomas Kinsella.
Beckett is one of the most widely discussed and highly prized of twentieth-century authors, inspiring a critical industry to rival that which has sprung up around James Joyce. has divided critical opinion.

19. PARADE LOOKING FOR ST. PATRICK`S DAY SPONSORSHIPS

Your contributions are used to produce both events and sustain our "Irish" heritage beyond March.
Please take another look and see if there is a comfortable level for you and your business. We are nearing our print deadline (Feb. 15, 2007) and would like as many interested parties in our program with over 50,000 issues that are distributed throughout the Valley and our websites are there 24/7/365.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

20. IN CASE YOU`RE IN BOSTON FOR ST. PATRICK`S DAY
Hi George,
Hope you`re enjoying nice weather out in Phoenix - it`s getting cold up in Boston!

The program is sponsored by the Boston Irish Tourism Association and Tourism Ireland. Other partners include Aer Lingus, Irish Dairy Board, Michael Collins Whiskey, Guinness, and Tommy Moloney`s Meats.
You`ll find details of the chefs at:
www.irishmassachusetts.com/Food.html
and the schedule of main events at:
http://www.irishmassachusetts.com/Food_schedule.html
The week kicks off on Monday, March 12 at the Massachusetts State House during which legislators will officially welcome these chefs to Boston.
You can see more details on this and other events in Massachusetts at our web site: www.IrishMassachusetts.com
Best regards,
Michael P. Quinlin
21. MAMA JAVA`S LOOKING FOR BANDS
Mr. O`Brien:
I do the bookings for a Thursday night concert series at Mama Java`s Coffeehouse in Phoenix, which we call The New Americana Cafe series. What we`ve been doing is booking in two bands per show that play what I call "roots-oriented" music, meaning music that has some anchor in traditional musics of somew kind. Each band plays for an hour. I`ve had two Irish/celtic acts play for us a few times, first The Black Velvet Band, and a fellow named Iain Walinck, a Scottish gentlemen who understand frequents the jams at the Irish bar up on Camelback (name escapes me).
I`m interested in having more Irish/celtic musicians play for us, if they`re willing to work for unfortunate coffeehouse wages, and I wonder if you would be able to put a mention that we`re looking for musicians into your web page.
I have a website that describes what we`re doing Thursday nights at www.newamericanacafe.netfirms.com. The email address they can reach me at is bluegrassriver@gmail.com, and you can call me if you need to at 602-348-8683.
Thanks very much.
