The Long Christmas Ride Home by Paula Vogel
The Long Christmas Ride Home by Paula Vogel Presented by Salem State University Center for Creative and Performing Arts at Online/Virtual Space Dec 03 - Dec 10, 2020 Past, present, and future collide on a snowy Christmas Eve for a troubled family of five. Humorous and heart-wrenching, this beautifully written play by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of How I Learned to Drive proves that magic can be found in the simplest breaths of life. Paula Vogel's hauntingly beautiful work blends two distinctly different theatrical influences as she plays with our sense of time and characters move freely within their memories: the work of playwright Thornton Wilder and traditional Japanese Noh and Bunraku Theatre. The play also includes Bunraku Theatre devices of masks, puppetry, music and dance. Vogel's play is, ultimately, about being seen for who we are with all of our beauty and all of our flaws. At a time when our human contact is limited and we cover our own faces with masks, being seen holds new meaning and urgency. Your ticket provides access to the recorded show from… |

Social GALA: Critique Circle
Social GALA: Critique Circle Presented by GALA (Galleries at LynnArts) at GALA (Galleries at LynnArts) Jan 09 - Dec 11, 2020 Join fellow creatives for a night of art talk and critique. The goal of this group is to give artists authentic feedback from their peers. We are all on a journey with our art, and no matter your place along that journey, having feedback from others helps us grow, prompts ideas and changes, and challenges us to become better artists. The rules are simple: Show up. Bring a piece of art you are working on, finished, are struggling with, or bring nothing and just soak in the conversation. Be polite- critique is about creating a dialog about an artwork. It is not about judging someone's style or skill. It is about helping the artist create a work that is successful. Not everyone will agree and not every work should be changed based on the opinions of others. This is an exercise in understanding how your art is viewed by others… |
