Getting a laugh out of the economy
On Sunday, The Yard in Chilmark hosted comedian Citizen Reno and Nobel laureate Robert Solow in a night of comedy. Part of their Yard Arts! annual festival of events, Reno performed her new piece "Money Talks," co-produced by Monina von Opel and co-starring Mr. Solow. The result was a hilarious investigation into the U.S. economy.
Yard Arts! continues this Sunday with Diversity in Dance '08.
