"Chase The Tear" Art Exhibit
| |
NIAD Art Center
551 23rd Street
Art Show: June 20th - August 19th
Chase The Tear is the final installment in a three-part exhibition series, Life of The World To Come, that presents a preview of a future where work from disabled artists is viewed in the same light as pieces and projects from artists who may not have a diagnosis extreme enough to qualify them as "other." In reality, however, the show is not breaking new ground so much as making visible what is already underway. Artists with disabilities - from Willem De Kooning to Chuck Close - are already a part of the contemporary art world. But Close and De Kooning were already established before becoming disabled. The next logical step in the opening up of the contemporary art world would be the inclusion of artists with disabilities based on the quality of their work, but without the requirement of a prior pedigree.
For more information please contact Brian Stechschulte at (510) 620-0326 or brian@niadart.org.

The Musical of Musicals
(The Musical!)

Masquers Playhouse
105 Park Place
Through July 9th
All seats $20
Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm
What if all of your favorite musicals were rolled together into one compact über-show? This crowd pleaser is a melting pot of musical bliss that manipulates the classic "I can't pay the rent!" story in five acts. Each act references and parodies the style of Broadway's brightest: Rodgers & Hammerstein (Oklahoma!), Stephen Sondheim (Sweeney Todd), Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!), Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom of the Opera), and Kander & Ebb (Cabaret). This smash will keep you laughing from start to finish with sharp wit and puckish energy.
