Tuesday, November 1, 7pm
Red Barn Theatre

'East of Eden,' is director Elia Kazan's 1955 adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel and starring James Dean, Raymond Massey, Julie Harris, and Jo Van Fleet, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Kate, Dean's disgraced mother.  This was the second-to-last picture completed by the 24-year-old Dean, who was killed in an auto accident in September of 1955 soon after filming on 'Giant' ended.

David Liebman Concert
Tuesday, November 1, 7:30pm
Knickerbocker Theatre

Acclaimed jazz artist David Liebman, on saxophone, will perform with his quartet consisting of Vic Juris on guitar, Tony Marino on bass and Marko Marcinko on drums.

 

Acclaimed jazz artist Liebman stretches the big band beyond the tradition of swing. The "New York Times" has said of him, "While others of his '60s generation have fallen off their ambition, Liebman has remained dogged about composition and trying difficult styles... he's a fighter."

Visiting Writer's Series featuring Jaimy Gordon
Thursday, November 3, 7pm
Knickerbocker Theatre
Gordon's fourth novel, "Lord of Misrule," won the prestigious 2010 National Book Award for fiction. "Lord of Misrule" captures the dusty, dark, and beautiful world of small-time horse racing, where trainers, jockeys, grooms and grifters vie for what little luck is offered at a run-down West Virginia track. Gordon's short story, '"A Night's Work,'" which shares a number of characters with her novel, "Lord of Misrule," appeared in Best American Short Stories 1995.

Gordon currently teaches at Western Michigan University and in the Prague Summer Program for Writers.
