Here are the (more than) Five Things for Wednesday, April 18:

“ACTING!” – Master Thespian (Jon Lovitz), Saturday Night Live. The Contemporary Theatre Company is offering acting classes at 5 p.m. The cost is $10.

“In America any boy may become President, and I suppose it’s just one of the risks he takes.” – Adlai Stevenson. Here are the government meetings for today:

“Oh no, I’m being eatin’ by a boa constrictor, and I don’t like it one bit.” Everything I needed to know, I learned from Shel Silverstein. Celebrate your own love of poetry at , a nifty bit of alliteration that’s going on from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at . Kids of all ages are invited – They will be given items they can write poems about, or draw and illustrate some of their favorite poems.

It’s business time. Business After Hours will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Olympic Physical Training on Kingstown Road in Wakefield. The cost is $5, and for information about registering and what not, click here.

Meanwhile, in Boston, the Red Sox were probably losing to Davie Steib. On this day in 1981, the Pawtucket Red Sox started their game with the Rochester Red Wings. Spoiler alert: It didn’t finish on this day.

Hey, at least you’re a winner today, Steve! Happy birthday to the Brooklyn Brawler, who turns 50 today. The Brawler is notorious for, even in the fake world of professional wrestling, almost never winning.
