Short Subjects June 30, 2005 Island inspires Firehouse four The Vineyard landscape provides inspiration for the four artists showing at the Firehouse Gallery in Oak Bluffs July 2–8. Gloria Burkin, a nature artist enamored by the effect of light on the Vineyard country- and seaside, shows her luminous paintings. Printmaker Sheila M. Fane combines linoleum block prints and monotyes to depict Island landscapes and still-life scenes. Her pieces range from panoramic to tiny and intimate, all with a Vineyard theme. Also showing are two digital photographers, Kylee Paige Amaral and Evelyn Jo Hebert. While Ms. Amaral focuses on serene landscapes and creative floral designs, Ms. Hebert celebrates the Island by capturing the colors, patterns, and textures of the Vineyard in unique and interesting ways, appealing to all ages. Artists’ reception Saturday, July 2, 4–6 pm. Gallery hours: noon–6 pm, closed Monday. Nature Yoga at the Wakeman Boston-area Yoga teacher Liz Owen will offer a three-class workshop aiming to help participants re-connect with nature July 8 through 10 at the Wakeman Conservation Center, Vineyard Haven. Ms. Owen, a certified Iyengar teacher, has worked with Yoga Lila, a technique that brings joy and freedom into the practice. Classes will be held Friday, July 8, 5 to 7 pm; and Saturday and Sunday, July 9 and 10, 10 am to noon. For information, visit www.lizowenyoga.com or call (781) 646-1740. Good vibes coming up Mark those summer calendars for the fifth annual Vineyard Vibes festival presented by Berklee College of Music August 4 through 7 at several Island venues.

Screening at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School Performing Arts Center Thursday, July 21, 7 pm, with a reception later at the Ag Hall, West Tisbury. For information, call 508-645-9085. Out with a bang, not a Wimp-er All good things must come to an end. Wimp Comedy Improv will perform their final show together on Wednesday, July 6 at 8 pm at the Grange Hall on State Road in West Tisbury. After 11 years of making comedy by the seat of their pants, the group is performing one last show. Tickets are $15 and are available at Island Entertainment and at the door. Cast Members Jamie Alley, Christopher Brophy, Nora Laudani, Dave Sawyer, Laura Silber, Shelagh Smiley, Donna Swift, Toby Wilson, and musical director Dan Murphy will be performing one last show for the fans that have made them an Island comic institution. But comedy never really ends. Following the July 6 show, the group passes the torch to the teenage branch of the Troubled Shores, Inc. comedy family, the IMPers, who will take up the Wednesday evening summer comedy slot assisted by guest appearances from veteran Wimp performers. Shows will be every Wednesday evening throughout the summer at 8 pm. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door. Miller play opens in previews The Vineyard Playhouse continues its 24th season with “The Archbishop’s Ceiling” by renowned playwright Arthur Miller. The play opens in previews on Wednesday, July 6 and runs through Saturday, July 23. In “The Archbishop’s Ceiling,” four writers must balance friendship and career when both are distorted by political pressures. Where does loyalty lie: to each other, to one’s heart, or to the state, and who is to judge? These challenging questions are at the core of Miller’s drama. The show is directed by playhouse artistic director Joann Green Breuer. The cast includes Larry Bull, Joel Books, Craig Alan Edwards, Carol London, and Alexandra London-Thompson. Preview and matinee tickets are $20, other performances are $35 and $30 for seniors and students. For more information, call 508-696-6300 or visit www.vineyardplayhouse.org. Calling all artists and artisans Art From the Heart for UNICEF, a volunteer fundraiser for the victims of the December Tsunami, asks you to consider donating any artwork, photography, fine crafts and handmade jewelry to this worthwhile event. All proceeds from this art sale will be donated to UNICEF. Those wishing to participate can find entry forms available at all Island libraries, as well as Featherstone Gallery, Firehouse Gallery and Old Sculpin Gallery. For more information, contact Donna Blackburn at 508-627-8747. |
