That does not mean that you cannot get tickets, but you cannot reserve them any more.<br /><br />I<span style="font-weight: bold;"> recommend that you go to the Dundas Centre for the Performing Arts on Mackey Street at 3:00 p.m. today to buy your tickets. </span> That is the time that they will begin to sell reservations that have not been collected and paid for. You will probably get a bargain!<br /><br />Here is more information:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Summer Madness</span> by James Catalyn<br /><br />When: Sept. 11-15<br /><br />Where: Dundas Centre<br /><br />Time: 8:30 p.m.<br /><br />Price: $20<br /><br />Box Office:<br /><br />The Dundas Centre, Mackey Street<br /><br />Phone: 393-3728 or 394-7179<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.thenassauguardian.com/social_community/289771724133012.php">More here</a></b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5954807642857913350-6296207304716296055?l=dabackroom.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Nicolette Bethelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07709440253218285708noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954807642857913350.post-29498879182320778892007-09-15T08:56:00.000-04:002007-09-15T09:29:18.258-04:00<b>The reading assignment is a summary of the basic issues surrounding the ideas of race, class and ethnicity.</b> <br /><br />All reading assignments are based on the readings I will provide for you, either in the Copy Centre or online, unless otherwise specified (i.e. The assignment on plays, and the assignment on the novel).<br /><br />Here is what is up to you to decide:<br /><br /><b>- How you define race, class, (and ethnicity) <br />- Which of the readings I have provided for you are most relevant for your discussion <br />- In what ways you can apply these readings to Bahamian culture and society</b><br /><br />Because this is THIRD-YEAR English, you are responsible for making up your own minds. That is what critical thinking is all about.<br /><br />Here are some additional resources for you:<br /><br /><a href="http://folk.uio.no/geirthe/Ethnicity.html#Chapter1">T. H.
