Actors Studio 66 is proud to present LIFE SUCKS. by Aaron Posner. Directed by Frederick Ponzlov, LIFE SUCKS. is a cutting edge, audience interactive experience that is funny, irreverent and amazingly moving.

Loosely based on Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya" the play is as relevant today as the former classic, exploring all the recesses of the human heart.

The State Bar of New Mexico invites its members to participate in a membership survey. The NM State Bar will use responses to help guide programming and services in the coming years. In order for this survey to be most effective, the NM State Bar needs to hear from at least 1400 members of the State Bar. Right now, only 300 members have participated. Please help the NM State Bar by setting aside 7-11 minutes to take the survey!
