Sense and Sensibility - Shakespeare's Associates
A comedic romance Adapted by Jon Jory A romantic tale, set in Regency England, Sense and Sensibility still “holds the mirror up to nature” as women and men relegated to rigid societal roles struggle to balance propriety with desire. Perhaps because the story is set in a time and place where society’s rules are so clear-cut, it is easier to appreciate the predicaments we still find ourselves in today. Two sisters express their passion in wildly divergent ways, while miscommunications fueled by gossip threaten their happiness. Based on Jane Austen’s beloved novel, this play will transport you to a time and place far, far away, but carry you on an emotional journey quite close to home. Options include: |

As You Like It - Shakespeare's Associates
A romantic comedy In the play known for the famous line “All the world’s a stage,” two cousins, raised as sisters, prove the power of their love for each other by running away from an oppressive father and regime. In a forest made magical by love, passions are ignited as the rules of society are softened to fit the natural world. As the artifice of society is worn away, that which is truly important becomes clear, and each character finds their own path to happiness: the fathers, the lovers, and even the clowns. Yes, there will be clowns! Options include:

The King and I - Tri-Valley Repertory Theater
- Main Stage East versus West makes for a dramatic, richly textured and ultimately uplift- ing tale of enormous fascination. It is 1862 in Siam when an English widow, Anna Leonowens, and her young son arrive at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, having been summoned by the King to serve as tutor to his many children and wives. The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West, and he seeks Anna’s assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story. Along with the dazzling score and the incomparable Jerome Robbins’ ballet, ‘The Small House of Uncle Thomas,’ it is one of the all-time marvels of the musical stage.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the
Forum Broadway’s greatest farce is coming to Las Positas College when the LPC College Theater Arts Department opens the musical, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, July 23. The play is the inaugural production in LPC’s beautifully renovated outdoor amphitheater. Bring a lawn chair or picnic blanket, pack and snack or enjoy the LPC food truck while experiencing an unforgettable, hysterical musical with a terrific ensemble of comedic actors. As the winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Book, the light, fast-paced, witty and irreverent musical takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from the time-tested, 2,000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. Bert Shevelove and Larry Gelbart’s book with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim was originally produced on Broadway by the legendary Harold Prince. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum tells the tale of Pseudolus, a crafty slave who struggles to win the hand of Philia, a beautiful, but slow-witted courtesan, for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. Mistaken identity, slammed doors and even a showgirl or two find their way into the non-stop laugh-fest. The LPC production features stage direction by Wes Morgan and musical direction by Mark Dietrich, with choreography by Faith Blevins, set and lighting design by Mike Rinaldi and costume design by Lenee Madera and Hanna Ramirez. The production’s actors include: James Koponen, Josh Thompson, Kaitlin
Bailey, Daisy Barajas, Chae Hyden, Chad Watkins, Rajiv Vijayakvmar, Trevor
March, Christian Tanton, Chuck Eyler, Patricia Bosma, Daniel Gines-Rivera,
Elise Ebbinghaus, William Schubert, Kristen Barber, Katie Lai, Trenton
Torian, and veteran actor and LPC emeritus faculty Ken Ross as Erronius. |

Follow flow 2.0 from California to London In 2014, Livermore artist Linda Ryan was faced with preparing for an upcoming exhibition with her painting hand in a cast. Rather than cancel, she chose to move away from the abstract figurative work she is known for and challenged herself with creating art using gravity, flow and Liquitex Pouring Medium, to capture luminous "stopped" movement. Ryan bought the biggest rubber gloves she could find, cut the sides and duct-taped them over her cast. She hired help, ordered gallons of Liquitex Pouring Medium, mixed it with the paint, then poured, tilted, turned, and poured some more. Having tested pouring medium on plexiglass, polyethelene sheets and wood for over two years paid off. "It's a fascinatingly challenging medium," says Ryan, "it is milky while it's workable. You have to have a good visual memory to recall what is on the under-layers, understand how your pigments react in the medium, and stop the movement at just the right time to create a strong composition." But, she adds, when it works, they come alive with motion and depth. She found the results so exciting and bold that she took 6 weeks off, then reduced her hours managing the Bothwell Arts Center in order to focus on her art, and is taking 25 new pour paintings to exhibit at the Parallax Art Fair in London the last weekend of July. http://parallaxaf.co Ryan invites you behind-the-scenes to follow the flow from Livermore to London at http://on.fb.me/1JUzm4I or /lindaryanart, Twitter @lindaryanart. Linda Ryan is an award-winning artist whose work is in collections across
the States and in Europe. In 2014, Ryan received an Arts Leadership Award
through the Alameda County Arts Commission. She has created and managed
ArtWalk Livermore and many arts events and exhibitions in the area, and has
managed the Bothwell Arts Center, a project of the Livermore Valley
Performing Arts Center, for 9 years. About Linda Ryan fine art: |
