BOARD. This word is used to designate all the magistrates of a city or borough, or all the managers or directors of any institution; as, the board of aldermen; the board of directors of the Bank of North America. The majority of the board have in general the power to perform the acts of the whole board, but sometimes they are restrained by their charters, and it requires a greater number to perform certain acts. |

MIKHAIL BARYSHNIKOV will tread the boards in a non-dancing role this year, touring in Rezo Gabriadze's play, The Doctor and the Patient: The Forbidden Christmas. Determined to tread the boards on Broadway, he moved to New York City in 1995, where he and his partner Charles have been living together for the last five years, and snagged roles onstage (Jesus Christ Superstar) and on TV (Law and Order: Criminal Intent) as well as in last year's production of the Terrence McNally-scripted Dead Man Walking opera at Lincoln Center. |
