The STREETBAR ARTWALL PROJECT will exhibit
new paintings by MICHAEL BROWN March 29TH through
April 30TH, 2013. A long time contributor to the Artwall , Michael’s new
paintings take on a new broad gesture with finishes of his signature graphic
detail. The works are large and contemplative, working with abstract images,
a cool, sometimes nostalgic color palette and sharp crisp overlays of graphic
pattern.
Michaels work will be on display at Streetbar, 224 E. Arenas Rd. Palm Springs
CA. 92262. An artist reception will be held Wednesday April 3rd at 6pm.
A FUNNY
THING
HAPPENED
ON THE
WAY
TO THE
FORUM
At the Palm Canyon Theatre
Palm Springs- A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
was inspired by the farces of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus
(251–183 BC). The musical tells the hilarious and bawdy story of
a slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by
helping his young master woo the girl next door. The plot displays
many classic elements of farce, including puns, the slamming of
doors, cases of mistaken identity (frequently involving characters
disguising themselves as one another), and satirical comments on
social class. The title derives from the line that vaudeville comedians
often used to begin a story: “A funny thing happened on the way to
the theater”.
The musical’s original 1962 Broadway run won several Tony Awards,
including Best Musical and Best Author. Palm Canyon Theatre is
excited to put it’s own spin on this classic show.
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forumbegins its three
week run on Friday, February 20th and continues through March 8th.
