Message from the Family Liaison: Do you need help with food?
Hello CRLS Students and Caregivers,
I want to wish you all a Happy New Year. It has been a challenging time for many and I know a lot of students and families are home and quarantined due to Covid. Please let me know if you or your family needs extra help with food. We have a new supply of donated gift cards as well as a food pantry located at CRLS.
If you would like a gift card mailed to you, please register here. If you would like a bag of non-perishable food please call me at 617.349.6660 to make arrangements.
Best,
Greta Hardina, CRLS Family Liaison

The August Wilson Monologue Program is back!
Keith Mascoll, professional actor, Cambridge resident and CRLS graduate is returning to CRLS to mentor young actors as part of the August Wilson Monologue Competition.
August Wilson is a giant in American theatre and one of America’s greatest playwrights. His lasting contribution to our society and culture is the Pittsburgh Cycle, ten plays, each set in a different decade that chronicles the African American experience in the 20th century.
The August Wilson Monologue Competition is a national event, run through the Huntington Theatre Company and “celebrates the writing of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright”. Wilson is known for writing the plays Fences and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom among many others.
Keith works with CRLS students on script analysis and character development, and coaches them as they prepare monologues for performance and competition as part of the national competition program.
If you have a passion for poetry, a curiosity for acting and a desire to live the words of characters embodying the African American experience, then this is for you. For more information contact Brett Cramp.
