Art in Film
Tonight at the Grange Theatre in West Tisbury, the Island Theatre Workshop is presenting a program entitled Art Immersion in Film. The event includes Valerie Sonnenthal’s Visual Diary Project with original music by Sergio Cervetti and a program of short films including a premiere of Richard Skidmore’s latest work. Following the presentation there will be a question and answer session with the artists.
Mr. Skidmore has worked in film, video and television for forty years.
The event beings at 8 p.m.
The major repercussion for you, the audience member, of attending a production, anywhere, anytime, of Broadway’s great classic The Music Man, is your own zany behavior the morning after. The moment you open your eyes, you’ll begin a whispered verse, “What can I do, my dear, to make it clear?
It’s an annual rite of spring, the Chilmark Preschool celebration fundraiser. For those who haven’t attended, this is not just another face-painting, pony riding, food and gameapalooza. It is also the place to get your baby chicks.
Every year a great crop of young birds is on display. Kids get to pet the baby chicks and, if you’re that kind of parent, take them home and start setting up the coop.
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Chilmark Community Center.
Hunger Banquet
