Featured Artists
In this issue we decided to recognize three people at once as our Featured Artist. These talented actor/directors are an ever-present force of nature on the local theater scene. They have joined forces to direct the upcoming production of Sarasota Actors Workshop’s third season, this year at the Backlot, October 6 through 15. Jeff can be seen regularly on stages throughout the area and has written and directed some of the most memorable work to come our way in years. Carol is the former Education Director for the Asolo Theatre Company. Amanda is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and holds a BFA in performance from the University of Central Florida. Rarely does the talent of three such accomplished people come together in one place and, as a result, audiences and actors alike benefit. Click here to read more complete bios because space here would not permit. Lest you forget, order your tickets for Sarasota Actors Workshop today!

September 27 [ funny, funny, ha, ha ] Becky’s Rejects continue to deliver side-splitting improv every last Wednesday of the Month at the Backlot. Next week Zac Chase will perform kamikaze improv while riding a unicycle backwards, blindfolded, and playing the lesser know Slavic instrument, the prigdadyl. The prigdadyl, or prig, is heralded as the precursor to the mouth harp or kazoo. Originally used in battle as a communications device, the prig evolved into a musical instrument as soldiers relaxed by campfires. Ok, I made all of that stuff about Zac up, but you can see Becky’s Rejects and have a great time anyway! |

[ ode to fluff ] That’s right, the marshmallow stuff in a jar; FLUFF. Local artist Vick Vercauteren is one of nine artists to be featured in what she refers to as “the world’s goofiest art show.” Both NPR and the Boston Globe are covering the exhibit and fluff-stuff. Vercauteren, a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Art (University of the Arts now), has work exhibited in galleries here and abroad, and will be on exhibit in Berlin in October. Fluff on!

beginning in October Learn the principles of drawing and oil painting, no matter your skill level, at Atelier Miano: Realistic Painting Studies with artist Charles Miano. The class will begin in October and students will have exclusive working access to the Ringling Museum. Click here and look under oil painting for more information. Also, I learned a new word! Atelier is evidently the French word for an artist’s studio. Go figure. |

[ note from rick ] As many of you know, Peg and I went to Maine in August, where I attended the Maine Workshops 4 Week Documentary Filmmaking Class. It was an intensive 12 hour per day, 6 day per week schedule and I learned lighting, sound, camera and editing. I produced a short and a documentary in that time and also worked as crew on projects by other students. Jean Nagy is a new friend, and classmate, and her 4 minute film is one that I worked on and that I think you will all enjoy. Click here and enjoy a short film. Photo by Peg Hughes. |
