UPCOMING CLASSES:
We are very excited to announce classes for "Absolute Beginners!"
All the world's greatest artists were at one time "absolute beginners." Take that first step all artists took, without the intimidation and trepidation many people feel when first starting out. Relax - we're all absolute beginners in these classes!
Thursdays, Oct. 20-Nov. 17, 6:30-8:30pm

Thursdays, Oct. 13-Nov. 17, 6:30-8:30pm
Drawing for the absolute beginner will explore the basics of drawing techniques, such as line shape, contour, accent line, proportion and perspective. We will start by learning about line and shape and how to use shape to draw almost anything. Proportion and perspective will be introduced to learn about composition and space. Instructor:

THEATER PRODUCTION:
BURY THE DEAD
November 5&6; 11-13
A modern expressionist anti-war play, as timely today as when it
 was written in 1936. During a nameless and timeless war, a military burial detail goes about its sad duties - but then a groan is heard from the newly dug graves, and then another. Slowly the dead soldiers rise up, pleading not to be buried, asking to be allowed to rejoin the living. Word of their insurrection spreads rapidly-to the soldiers in the field, the generals, the news media, with alarming effect. In a series of touching scenes the dead men talk with their loved ones of the days of living, now lost forever. But must the dead yield so easily?
We will be collecting items for homeless veterans at each show. Please donate to this worthy cause!
For show times, to purchase tickets, donation items, etc., please visit our
Bury the Dead page.
