SUMMARY:“Wrapping It Up” Jo Ann Alford & Elizabeth Darrow Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Art in Bloom Gallery is celebrating the artistic careers of gallery artist Elizabeth Darrow & guest artist Jo Ann Alford through their collaborative exhibit\, “Wrapping It Up.” After pursuing a variety of artistic approaches\, these lifelong artists & friends are coming together to embrace the strengths of shape\, pattern and collage. Whether by layering wrapping paper over oil backgrounds\, or building abstract scenes from a single paper element\, both artists allow their pieces to emerge intuitively from their creative processes. So even if Jo Ann Alford & Elizabeth Darrow are moving closer to “wrapping up” their artistic journeys … their ever innovating work will continue to develop and inspire! \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, August 3rd\, 2-5pm for the Artist Reception. Enjoy special refreshments\, meet our artists\, and enjoy live music by Robert Beauchene! \nGallery events are always free and open to the public. On view along with these exhibits\, Art in Bloom Gallery showcases a plethora of fine art by over 30 local artists. Art in Bloom is open Monday–Thursday 10am-5pm\, Friday – Saturday 10am–6pm and Sunday 12-5pm at 970 Inspiration Drive\, Mayfaire Town Center\, Wilmington\, NC. \nAbout the Artists\nFrom weaving to watercolor\, multimedia artist\, adventurer & educator Jo Ann Alford continues to pursue her independent path. After studying fiber arts and calligraphy in the West Coast\, Jo Ann returned to North Carolina to expand both her own creativity and the world views of her students. Though she finds herself more “settled” now in retirement\, Jo Ann still has a wanderlust for life\, within and outside of herself. She is currently focusing on nonobjective collage to offer a more open\, personal invitation of her work. \nAbout the series\, Jo Ann says\, “The first element that is adhered to the paper is a catalyst and may disappear as I respond to the lines\, shapes\, colors\, textures\, and negative space. As I travel across the surface\, I enjoy the surprises that occur during the process. I’m always eager to see where my artistic journey will lead me.” \nMultimedia painter Elizabeth Darrow has made Wilmington her home since 1977. Elizabeth has worked in oil and collage throughout her career\, exploring a variety of abstract & figurative styles depending on her medium\, but never works “from life” in the traditional sense. Most of the imagery that comes to her seems to hatch of its own accord\, emerging from the process. Says Elizabeth about her newest works\, “I enjoy playing with color and shapes and patterns\, and watching their interplay … watching them take on a life of their own. It’s a magical process.” \nIn this exhibit\, Elizabeth has incorporated patterns found in wrapping paper\, and juxtaposed them with each other against a background of oil paint and gestural drawing to create something altogether new. “That may be why the show is called ‘Wrapping It Up’… Or maybe it’s because we’re wrapping up our artistic careers (a process that could take years)… Either way\, it’s always fun to play and see what happens.”

SUMMARY:“Discovering the Art of Dr. Seuss” Weekend Pop-Up Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:While Theodor Seuss Geisel\, aka Dr. Seuss\, is best known through his fantastic body of children’s books\, his varied artistic journey extends far beyond the printed page.

Meet the Art of Dr. Seuss experts Mike Golonka and Jes Stiner\, while you enjoy food\, drink\, and conversation.\n——— \nThe Art of Dr. Seuss Collection \nFor over 60 years\, Dr. Seuss’s illustrations brought a visual realization to his fantastic and imaginary worlds. However\, his artistic talent went far beyond the printed page. Revealing a dazzling rainbow of hues not seen in the primary-color palette of his books for children\, Ted’s “Secret Art” paintings exhibit a sophisticated\, technically accomplished\, and often quite unrestrained side of his talent. \nSeuss always dreamed of sharing his “Secret Art” with his fans and had entrusted his wife\, Audrey\, to carry out his wishes once he was gone. In 1997\, this dream was realized when The Art of Dr. Seuss project was launched. For the first time\, collectors were able to see and acquire lithographs\, serigraphs\, and sculptures reproduced from Ted’s original drawings and paintings. In her introduction to the collection Audrey Geisel wrote: “I remember telling Ted that there would come a day when many of his paintings would be seen\, and he would thus share with his fans another facet of himself—his private self. That day has come. I am glad.”

SUMMARY:Tomáš Kubínek— Certified Lunatic & Master of the Impossible
DESCRIPTION:Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No\, it’s Tomáš Kubínek in Certified Lunatic & Master of the Impossible! A collision of theatre and music-hall\, this exuberant one-man show is equal parts comic brilliance\, virtuosic vaudeville\, and irresistible charm. With The Seattle Times calling the show\, “Equal parts old-time clowning and Monty Pythonesque silliness…the hottest ticket at the festival!” \nThe show is intended for Adult Audiences. \nTomáš Kubínek – (toh-mawsh koo-bee-neck)\, was born in Prague and at the age of three was smuggled out of the country by his parents to escape the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. \nAfter two months in a refugee camp in Austria\, the Kubínek family was granted asylum in Canada and it was there\, in St. Catharines\, Ontario\, that Tomáš\, age 5\, witnessed his first circus. \nHe became passionately interested in clowns\, circus\, theater and magic and his perplexed yet well-adjusted parents took him to see every show that passed through town. \nAt age 9 he presented his first performance before a circle of elderly magicians. By age 13 he had an agent. He performed in coffee-houses between folk-music acts and while still in his teens\, he made his circus debut with a Brazilian clown duo as the rear half of a two-person horse. There was no turning back… \nWorking any and all jobs related to showbiz\, the enterprising Mr. Kubínek was able to save money and travel to Europe to study with some of the world’s greatest teachers of theatre including; Monika Pagneaux\, Pierre Byland\, Jaques Lecoq and Boleslav Polívka. \nThese studies\, combined with his own tireless experiments in the art of live performance\, led to the creation of his award-winning solo stage shows which play to capacity crowds at theaters\, international arts festivals\, and in television broadcasts throughout the world.

SUMMARY:A NEW ERA: OPENING NIGHT WITH PETER ASKIM
DESCRIPTION:2025 GRAMMY-winning Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz’s incandescent Kauyumari kicks off the WSO’s New Era with a bang\, its pulsing rhythms and its relentless energy serving as a metaphor for this exciting new chapter in the orchestra’s history. Following the success of the world premiere of his commissioned work Elegy for the Victims of 1898 at the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra’s November 2023 concert Project 1898\, the WSO is proud to once again commission a new piece from Wilmington’s own Algernon Robinson. Drawing on his lifelong connection to the city and the orchestra\, Robinson brings a fresh\, forward-looking approach to composition\, making him a visionary voice who bridges the WSO’s past and future\, tradition and innovation. Tchaikovsky’s powerful\, lyrical Symphony No. 5 is a journey through human emotion itself\, from tragedy to triumph. Encompassing the melancholy of the first movement\, the timeless beauty of the second movement (whose Horn solo has inspired numerous popular songs) and rhythmic excitement\, it leads to a glorious\, joyous conclusion: setting the scene for an exciting season – and Era – to come.

DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s most provocative play takes the stage in an all-female production that lets the original text speak—sharp\, witty\, and uncomfortably timely. When Vienna’s long-ignored morality laws are suddenly enforced\, a young novice named Isabella finds herself caught between silence and sacrifice.   \nUNCW Theatre is producing an all-women’s version of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure as part of the Riot Grrrls series. The production takes on patriarchy\, justice\, and abuse of power — themes that feel especially urgent right now — with women playing every role.  \nWhat makes this especially compelling is that it gives young women the chance to play roles they wouldn’t normally get to touch in Shakespeare — judges\, dukes\, corrupt officials\, and even clowns. Seeing those female voices and bodies in parts written for men changes the way the story lands.  \nPerformances are 7:30pm Thursday-Saturday\, and 2:00pm Sunday\, from September 25-28\, and October 2-5\, 2025.\n

Through elaborate dances and rock songs\, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” That “Sweet Transvestite” and his motley crew did the “Time Warp” on Broadway in a 25th anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience\, cascading toilet paper\, and an array of other audience participation props\, this deliberately kitschy rock ’n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever! The original London production of The Rocky Horror Show\, directed by Jim Sharman\, premiered at the Royal Court Theatre on June 19\, 1973 and won the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical. Later transferring to several other locations in London\, the show ran for a total of 2\,960 performances. On March 10\, 1975\, The Rocky Horror Show opened on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre\, starring Tim Curry and featuring Meatloaf and “Ritz” O’Brien. In 2001\, the show returned to Broadway at Circle in the Square Theatre\, starring Raúl Esparza\, Tom Hewitt\, Alice Ripley and Jarrod Emick. Directed by Christopher Ashley\, the revival ran for 437 performances.
