NIGHT OF THE LIVING
By Dave Lankford
In this comic-horror love story, Mia and Marshall's marriage, teetering on the edge of collapse, fights to survive as a zombie pandemic quietly infects the couple's insular world. Cross-cutting between two distant but parallel nights, Mia and Marshall must confront the most intimate and difficult choices of their lives with both humorous and heartbreaking moments.

In rural southeast coastal Florida, in the late 1950s and 1960s, during the time when the Civil Rights Movement began to seriously challenge Jim Crow laws, a grassroots art phenomena occurred that had no precedent, and it left an unimaginable trove of artwork-perhaps a quarter million oil paintings made by young self-taught African American artists. They were nameless during their two decades of creative tenure, only to be dubbed The Highwaymen fifteen years later. Their paintings transcend the palm trees, clear blue skies, and glistening surf that they describe with vigor; they were the embodiment of a prosperous land and new frontier where dreams were sure to come true for post war families. They were and remain American images, painted by the unlikeliest of American artists who were likely destined to pick oranges in the groves nearby their homes. Instead, they created the visual legacy of modern Florida as the place to realize the American dream. Due to Space Constraints go to the Link Below for Complete description.

Tamiami Trail: In the Beginning
Tropical Botanic Artists document the 100-year-old
Tamiami Trail's effects on South Florida's landscape
When
: March 8 - June 15, 2018
Where
: The
Gato Building,
1100 Simonton Street, Key West, Florida 33040
Hours:
9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily. Free.
Key West, FL (February 16, 2018) -- Portraits of plants found along the historic **Tamiami Trail a century after the road was begun, will be on view at the Gato Building in Key West , March 8
th
- June 15, 2018. Admission is free and open to the public.
"Tamiami Trail: In the Beginning" is an exhibition of original artworks by members of the
Miami-based Tropical Botanic Artists collective. The botanical subjects were selected to mark the 100
anniversary in 2015 of the start of work on Tamiami Trail, a roadway begun in 1915 in Miami. Today it stretches across the Everglades from Miami to Naples and northward to Tampa, through areas that were largely wilderness a century ago. The exhibition's 30-plus plant portraits depict species found then and now in multiple vegetation zones along the route. Due to human intervention and changes in water flow, some of the plants illustrated are rare or endangered, and their predominant locations may have shifted, but all persist in South Florida's landscape.
Presented with support from the
Florida Keys Council of the Arts, the exhibition is the result of the artists' collaboration with Dr. Evelyn Gaiser of Florida International University, who is principal investigator for the local
Florida Coastal Everglades Long Term Ecological Research program.
Artists whose works are in the exhibition are Margie Bauer, Kristi Bettendorf, Beverly Borland, Silvia Bota, Marie Chaney, Susan Cumins, Jeanie Daniel Duck, Julio Figueroa, Pauline A Goldsmith, Leo Hernandez, Elsa Nadal, Carol Onstad, Laurie Richardson, Donna Torres and Jedda Wong.

Students at Horace O'Bryant Middle School will be taking audiences back to the 1950's with the rollicking Rock and Roll musical Bye Bye Birdie on Friday, March 2 at 7:30 and Saturday, March 3 at 2:00 p.m. Based on the story of Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army, the main character, Conrad Birdie, sings heart rending songs to his screaming fans. Audiences will hear familiar songs such as "We Love You Conrad," "Put on a Happy Face," The Telephone Hour," and "A Lot Of Livin' To Do." In the show, the MacAfee family will be featured on The Ed Sullivan Show where their daughter Kim is to get "One Last Kiss" from Conrad Birdie. Mayhem ensues when her boyfriend, Hugo, enters in a jealous rage.
Over thirty middle school students are in the cast. Main characters are Maddox Lowe as Kim MacAfee, Jarvis Moore as Albert Peterson, Angelina Diaz as Rose Alvarez, Sadie Dodds as Mrs. Peterson, Nelson Sawyer as Hugo Peabody, and Key West High School student Iain Wilcox as Conrad Birdie.
Stage direction is by Stephanie Manaher, with musical direction by Nancy 3. Hoffman, choreography by Penny Leto, technical direction by Phillip Baucom, and assistant directors, Gary and Nancy Curry. Tickets are available at the door with $3 for students, $5 for adults, and $20 for families.

This is the 1st night in America for the Fab Four (John, Paul, George and Ringo) at the historic Peppermint Lounge in New York City on February 7th, 1964, two days before they were to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Terry O'Neill
English photographer who gained renown documenting the fashions, styles, and celebrities of the 1960s. While other photographers concentrated on earthquakes, wars and politics, O'Neill realized that youth culture was a breaking news story on a global scale and began chronicling the emerging faces of film, fashion and music who would go on to define the Swinging Sixties. By 1965 he was being commissioned by the biggest magazines and newspapers in the world. O'Neill's photographs display his knack for capturing his subjects candidly or in unconventional settings. Terry O'Neill is one of the world's most collected photographers with work hanging in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. He was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's
Centenary medal ' in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography ' in 2011.
" Beatles Backyard "
Rare group portrait of the Beatles during the recording of their first hit single and album " Please Please Me " in the backyard of the Abbey Road Studios in London, January 1963.

Bob Gruen
Bob Gruen is one of the most well-known and respected photographers in rock and roll. From John Lennon to Johnny Rotten; Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones; Elvis to Madonna; Bob Dylan to Bob Marley; Tina Turner to Debbie Harry, he has captured the music scene for over forty years in photographs that have gained worldwide recognition.
Shortly after John Lennon moved to New York in 1971, Bob became John and Yoko's personal photographer and friend, making photos of their working life as well as private moments. In 1974 he created the iconic image of John Lennon wearing
a New York City t-shirt.

The 2018 Season (As Usual) ALL Concerts at St. Pauls Episcopal Church 4pm.
Hungarian guitar duo Katona Twins will appear in Key West for an Impromptu Concert performance at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 401 Duval St. The concert will be the fourth of the 2018 Impromptu Concert season, which is celebrating the centennial of the late composer Leonard Bernstein, a frequent visitor to Key West.
This music act, comprised of Péter and Zoltán Katona, has been described as "the classical world's best-known guitar duo." These identical twins were born in Budapest, Hungary, where they began their music education at the age of 10. Their teacher had noticed that the boys had a talent for clapping-back complicated rhythms, and so their mother requested they change to a special school where, besides general subjects, they also received daily music instruction.
Tickets for the concert cost $20, and are available at
www.keystix.com
, or at the door on the afternoon of the event. Cash, checks, or credit/debit cards accepted. Students admitted free. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lucky Street Gallery's Latest exhibition "Offset Realities" features new work by Rebecca Bennett and Michel Delgado. Bennett's pieces continue her exploration into highlighting light and shadow, and while many of her new works take on a decidedly abstract tone, at the same time they are true to her local subject matter. Many of Delgado's paintings reflect imagery from his boyhood in Senegal and he expands this exhibition with exciting pieces from his "Street Gum Art" series.

No exhibit of David's popular works would be complete without a nod to our four legged friends, and so he has a series of oils on small canvas panels; simple "drawings" of hounds on nearly Venetian patterns. Most of his compositions have a bit of text in them to inspire a thought or a laugh.
Carrie Andrews has been gettin
g to know the lower Keys since the early 1980's, when her family began spending winters here. She is now living aboard an iconic houseboat in a community of amazing people and painting the places she has adored for decades. Living in a small space means working on small watercolors in a sketchbook and enhancing the images with other media before uploading to a computer for final tweaking. She then sends for prints on fabric, metal and 100% cotton rag paper.
Sandy Sun creates unique ceramic pieces and vessels by hand. Most of her works are inspired by the natural beauty of the Florida Keys. Her new works focus on growth and new life and include ocean themed pieces and pieces that incorporate local tropical leaves and flowers. Often described as organic, Sandy's pottery reflects both the variants and symmetry found in nature.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING
By Dave Lankford
In this comic-horror love story, Mia and Marshall's marriage, teetering on the edge of collapse, fights to survive as a zombie pandemic quietly infects the couple's insular world. Cross-cutting between two distant but parallel nights, Mia and Marshall must confront the most intimate and difficult choices of their lives with both humorous and heartbreaking moments.
-----
Playwright and film director Jon Rhoads directs the play. Rhoads is no stranger to the Key West stage, having written plays in "One Night Stand" at The Studios of Key West, and "Roshambo" and "129 Miles From Walmart," at the Key West Theater, among others. In addition to his theatrical work, Rhoads is the director of the award-winning short film "Buzzcut," which was filmed in Key West and has been shown at more than 40 film festivals worldwide.

Enrich your health and lifestyle, advance your personal yoga practice, or simply slow down to create space and calm with Cricket Desmarais at The Studios of Key West on Friday mornings from 9:00am to 10:00am, January 26, February 2, February 9, February 16, and February 23.
The five-week series of classes are a great introduction to those new to yoga or for those looking to deepen their practice. Students will learn to connect with their breath and experience micro-movement, with a slow, steady build towards strength, balance, and flexibility- with an emphasis on safe alignment.
"This gentle but powerful approach to yoga is supportive to any age or stage of life," says instructor Cricket Desmarais, who has been teaching Slow Flow yoga since 2012, including YMCA classes where ages ranged from 19-78 in the same hour. "It gives you the space needed to soften and meet yourself where you are, and helps your inner radar know when you're going too far- or not working to optimal capacity."
Desmarais emphasizes that though the class speed is toned-down, the experience is often quite powerful.
"Slow Flow Yoga offers a nice counterpoint to a culture that is hard-wired to consistently push hard and fast," she says. "It gives us the opportunity to slow down for an hour and really feel ourselves from the inside out. In that space, a lot can be revealed."
