hard deadlines

You've laughed at the political cartoons in the Sakonnet Times, and maybe you've always meant to go see Charlie Hall's Ocean State Follies, but you didn't want to leave the Island. Well, now you don't have to! The madcap crew is coming to Portsmouth on Friday, April 25, in a special one-night show at the Portuguese-American Citizens Club, sponsored by the Portsmouth Democrat Women's Club.

Tickets are just $30 and include a delicious lasagna dinner and the even more delicious Ocean State Follies, with an hour and 20 minutes of pure Rhode Island humor from Charlie Hall and the gang.

I've got a bunch of tickets, and you can buy them right here with PayPal or a major credit card. Or, you can drop me an e-mail and I'll hand-deliver 'em.

Those of a brick-and-mortar persuasion can pick tickets up at Allen’s Wine and Spirits (3001 East Main Rd.) and Ferreira’s Package Store (1965 East Main Rd.).
