This fall, the Massachusetts Review will publish a play by UMass-Amherst professor Julian Olf. This week, as a result, Olf’s play will premier at UMass. It’s got quite a handle (parentheses included), (People Almost Always Smell Good in the Art Museum), and it’s a one-man play starring the playwright himself in this production. The night will also include a second short Olf play, Unaired Public Radio Segment.
Both nights will be benefits—Friday’s proceeds aid the Massachusetts Review, and Saturday’s proceeds aid the UMass Department of Theater.

May 16-17, $10-20, 8 p.m., Curtain Theater, UMass-Amherst, (413) 525-2511 or (800) 999-UMAS.
