by

THEATER News:

The Adobe Theater presents Tennessee Williams’ SMALL CRAFT WARNINGS Aug. 1–17. An expansion of Tennessee Williams’s earlier one-act play, “Confessional”, Small Craft Warnings centers on a motley group of people gathered in a seedy coastal bar in Southern California. It is a kaleidoscopic pastiche of monologues delivered in a spotlight by each of the characters as the action around them becomes frozen and muted. Through them they reveal their loneliness and the emptiness of their existence.

Director Pete Parkin has always had a fondness for Tennessee Williams. Read More

Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: June 23, 2025 Game Results

by

Bridge News:

This is a hand from the June 23 game of the Los Alamos Duplicate Bridge Club that should lead most partnerships to bid a slam.

See if you agree.

This is board #7.

South is the dealer and both sides are vulnerable.

 

North
♠
♥ 9
♦ AKJT853
♣ KJ872
West East
♠ QT8753 ♠ K642
♥ A653 ♥ KQ87
♦ 9 ♦ 4
♣ 95 ♣ T643
South
♠ AJ9
♥ JT42
♦ Q762
♣ AQ
