Across the Ist-a-Verse
This week’s quote comes from the inimitable Lily Tomlin, original star of The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, which 1812 Productions is about to stage. The full quote reads: “For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.” Amen to that! Now, on with the listings!
