At Playhouse

BRIDGEPORT â Lisa P. Oswald will be exhibiting a collection of her recent monoprints at Playhouse on the Green in Bridgeport from May 8 through June 1.

Ms Oswaldâs work presents a decidedly modern twist on the figure. Highly abstracted, somewhat ambiguous and often provocative, her work blurs the line between how most people see themselves vs the way others see them.

âAll my images are interpretations of live model sketches,â says the artist, a Monroe resident. âWhile there are accepted notions of beauty and form, Iâm not a representational artist. To my eye, there are infinite numbers of ways to represent the power, strength and spirit of women. I strive to capture the essence and energy of the figure.â

The exhibit will open on Friday, May 9, during the premiere of Six Degrees of Separation at the playhouse, 177 State Street. The public is welcome to view the exhibition free of charge, during playhouse business hours. Visit PlayhouseOnTheGreen.org or call 866-811-4111 for more information.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
