Spanning a range of materials and mediums, the breadth of the Cherry exhibition documents how collage’s use of bits and pieces of applied materials is unique in its ability to capture physical moments of time: the created or found materials of the Central Coast of California, its pigments and fonts and ephemera. Collage has the ability to bring a tactile, physical experience of human history into the reality-presence of the viewer.

This series follows last spring’s popular presentation of feature films which came to life from their origins as short stories. Join us for an in-depth examination of six compelling marriages of story and film across a broad spectrum of genres, thematically linked with questions of illusion, reality, imagination and point of view. In addition to the analysis of the films, we will explore the adaptation from print to screen and the connectedness between the two. To enhance our comparison, we will also read the stories before viewing the films.
Facilitator
Malcolm Weintraub, Carmel resident and inveterate cineaste, is a devotee of film studies paying special attention to cinema thematics. His popular series include the first part of “Adaption – Short Story to Feature Film,” “Moviews on Moveiws,” “Satirical Anti-War Cinema,” and more.

Monologue Mayhem
2015-09-12 19:30 - 22:00
Monologue Mayhem!
Can We Talk?
If you are not up for a long-term commitment this September, “Monologue Mayhem”, offers plenty of opportunities for fleeting—but, meaningful flings. Produced by the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts in conjunction with Off-the-Cuff Productions and directed by Richard Westbrook, “Monologue Mayhem” offers an arresting spread of new and not-so-traditional solo performances.
Funded in part through a grant from the Arts Council for Monterey County, original work dominates “Monolgoue Mayhem” including original, character-driven pieces, rich and vital theater creations with interesting stories to tell. More than a dozen authors—prominent to newly discovered—cover a range of topics, from the enormous and abstract to intimate conversations. Each monologue creates a specific world performed by individual actors from Monterey Bay’s outstanding theater community.
