Arizona Theatre Company (ATC), in collaboration with The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre and Winding Road Theater Ensemble, is producing RomeroFest, a month-long celebration of the diverse, thoughtful and impactful works of ATC Playwright-in-Residence Elaine Romero with digital performances by theatre companies across the U.S. and in Mexico in March.
Subscribe In the American theatre, we foolishly only do celebrations of a body of work when a playwright dies or moves away. Let s not wait for either with Elaine, said ATC Artistic Director Sean Daniels. Elaine Romero is an internationally produced and recognized playwright who chose to make Tucson her home. She has been Playwright-in-Residence at ATC for over 20 years. It s time for us to start celebrating the artists that are here, and how better to do that but by experiencing her work. She is an important voice of our generation – and just a ton of fun – so who doesn t want more Elaine around?

With the smell of burning sage in the air, the city s first community vaccination site opened today at 9 a.m. in the heart of the Mission District, just off 24th and Mission streets in a rectangular, fenced-in parking lot cleared of cars, planted with four large white tents and staffed with technicians and nurses ready to vaccinate in a community that has had some of the city s highest rates of Covid-19 cases.

The opening was a triumph of UCSF and the Latino Task Force as well as the Department of Public Health, which will eventually take over the site and open in other impacted communities, first in Bayview and then in other neighborhoods, according to DPH.

A closed mini golf course may become the site of a new 7-Eleven in Ronkonkoma. (Google maps)
RONKONKOMA, NY Opponents of a proposed 7-Eleven at 974 Portion Rd. in Ronkonkoma say the project does not reflect a land use plan designed to reduce unchecked commercial development in the area. The Town of Brookhaven is currently considering a proposal for the store and gas station at the site, once Village Green mini golf course, which closed in 2012. The proposal calls for a change of zoning from commercial recreation or residential to commercial.
Anthony Portesy is vice chair of the Brookhaven Town Democratic Committee and he says he opposes the proposal, calling it the same failed formulas of the 1990s and early 200s leading to trading blighted property for blighted property.
