This week is the last week to see the Rogue Artists Ensemble’s stage adaptation of The Tragical Comedy or The Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch. The production uses clever make-up, puppetry, and set design to recreate the look of the source material, a wonderful graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.
The tickets
are only twenty bucks! At’sawaytodoit!

It’s no secret that I love color. How it interacts and shifts, how it can affect one’s mood, change the feeling of an entire place, be transcendent, makes things more alive… maybe I give color a little too much credit. But it’s something that plays a major part in my life and work.
So when I stumbled across The Quilts of Gees Bend I thought I was in color heaven!
The quilts are made by a group of women who live in the isolated, African-American hamlet of Gee’s Bend, Alabama… using whatever materials were available, in patterns of their own imaginative design.They create these quilts to make a living, but it’s transformed into such a beautiful artform full of bold shapes and colors and patterns. They seem to be just teeming with life! So inspiring!
