[Comedias] Please join us for the 2018 Comediantes Banquet in New York

[AHCT Listserv]

Please distribute widely!


Dear* Comediantes* and Friends,



Please plan on joining us for the 2018 *Comediantes* Banquet in New York!
Thanks to the talents of Barbara Simerka, we were able to find a reasonable
(for New York) restaurant with a room that will allow us to gather
and begin a new year in each other's company.


*This is a long and honored tradition that actually predates our group's
MLA Executive Division, designed as a respite from the conference that
allows us to celebrate our field and enjoy each others' company.  (Trivia:
Did you know that on one memorable occasion Thornton Wilder attended​ the
comediantes banquet after sharing his research on the stagecraft of Lope?)
We never know quite what to expect, but there will be food, fun and
spirited conversations!  If you have a memorable banquet tale to tell from
years (or decades past), please consider sharing it during the course of
the evening. Please also consider inviting a junior scholar to join us--it
is a great networking/mentoring event.  Those of us who gathered last year
thoroughly enjoyed the experience--despite the chill in the air, the
evening was filled with warmth and laughter.*


If you are attending the MLA or are simply near New York, please join us
for the banquet on Friday evening beginning at 7:00 PM.  The $66.00 price
includes 3 courses and non-alcoholic beverages.  (Of course, you are
welcome to order alcoholic drinks but please remember that you are
responsible for paying for them--we have no s/lush fund)

*Details:  Please join us on Friday, January 5th, at 7 PM.  We will meet
at:*
