SUMMARY:The Interview - A Mystery
DESCRIPTION:May 12 – June 4\, 2023 \n“The Interview – A Mystery\,” a new play written and directed by Tom Parks\, opens Friday\, May 12th through June 4th. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30pm; Sunday performances at 2:30pm. Tickets are $25\, available by calling (831) 717-7373 or the box office prior to each performance. \nAbout the Play: \nSuccessful journalist\, Charlie Simpson\, has for forty years plied his trade to most of the nation’s important newspapers. Times have changed; the world of newspapers had changed. He now finds himself a stringer on a small town weekly in rural northwest Oregon. \nThere’s a message waiting for him one Tuesday morning as he sits down at his desk – call his editor. \nHe has an assignment\, not what he’s expecting\, like a little league game or the birth of Bonnie Barns’ second set of wins. No\, there’s a new lady in town\, a painter\, an artist. He’s scheduled an interview with her. Charlie knows less than nothing about art\, so it seems a stretch for him to be covering this story\, or\, he worries\, is there really a story there? Indeed\, there is. Or at any rate he thinks there may be one hellava story. In fact\, this may turn out to be the scoop of his professional life. \nSomething to be said for high drama in the boondocks. And Charlie is in hot pursuit.

SUMMARY:Animated Art: A Joan Gratz Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Animated Art: A Joan Gratz Retrospective\nSaturday\, March 25@3pm\n\nFor those of you who missed “Animated Art: An Afternoon with Joan Gratz\,” we have added an encore screening of the entire program without Joan in attendance. This is your last chance to see the work one of America’s greatest animators. \nAcademy Award-winning director and animator Joan Gratz pioneered the art of “Claypainting” and has continued to be a favorite at film festivals world-wide. The 60 minute presentation will include eight of her most loved animated short films\, selected from over the past 30 years and including the World Premiere of her just completed film “The Battle for Swan Lake” (with cats!). \nHer films range in content through painterly expressions of poetry\, improvised abstraction and animated social documentary\, with her clever wit and humor always close at hand. Working directly before the camera\, she applies bits of clay\, blends colors and etches fine lines to create a seamless flow of images\, that are\, in turns\, both lyrical and surprising. \nPlease join us for a World Premiere of her newest film and retrospective of her remarkable work. \nTickets are $15 available on Eventbrite or by calling (831) 624-7491.  \n\nWatch video film trailer:  https://vimeo.com/789873987 \n \n\nThis program has been generously sponsored by Hofsas House Hotel in Carmel by the Sea hofsashouse.com and by Designer Wallcoverings designerwallcoverings.com\n\n\nFilms in Order of Presentation\n \nMona Lisa Descending the Staircase: An animated history of 20th century painting. Academy Award\nfor best animated short film. 1992 – 7 min. \n \nKubla Khan: An animated painting based on Samuel Taylor Coleridges’ poem. 2011 – 3 min. 42 sec. \n \nLost and Found: Life’s passages are evoked in metamorphosing clay images. 2012 – 3 min. 35 sec. \n \nPro and Con: An animated documentary about life in prison from the point of view of a corrections\nofficer and an inmate.1992 – 8 min. \n \nSecond Coming: An animated film based on a poem by William Butler Yeats. 2017 – 2 min 20 sec. \n \nOne Minute Memoir: A Gratzfilm compilation of 10 very short films by contemporary animators including\nBill Plympton and Chris Hinton 2019 – 16 min 30 sec. \n \nNo Leaders Please: An animated film based on a poem by Charles Bukowski. 2021 – 2 min 19sec. \n \nThe Battle for Swan Lake: A World Premiere! 2023 – 3 min. \n\nJoan Gratz Biography\nJoan Gratz \n\n\nWhile an architecture student at the University of Oregon in the late 1960’s\, Joan began experimenting with the idea of animation by capturing her painting process on film and then projecting the results\, “making her paintings appear to breath.”\n \nIn 1979\, on the recommendation from two of Joan’s architecture school friends who were working at the animation start-up\, “Will Vinton Studios”\, Joan was hired to join the team and play a large part in the successes that followed.\n \nIt was here that she adapted her animated painting to the “Claypainting” process for which she is now known. While there\, her work included design and animation for the Academy Award nominees\, “Return to Oz”\, “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Creation” (which landed her a United Airlines television commercial\, with more to follow.)\n\n \n\nBy 1987\, Joan started her own company\, “Gratzfilm”. Here she could focus on projects and collaborations of her own making\, while also freelancing with Will Vinton when the timing worked for her.\n \nIn 1992\, Joan found herself on stage accepting the Oscar for the Best Animated Short\, “Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase\,” a 7 minute film chronicling the history of 20th century art. Joan had spent 5 years (while working on other projects) to fully develop the idea for this film and collect the perfect 55 images to eventually blend seamlessly together. And then she spent another two years dedicated to painting it all by hand\, in clay\, one frame at a time.\n \nMulti-award winning director of short animated films and commercials\, Joan  has traveled along with her films to Russia\, Iran\, Croatia\, France\, China\, Hungary\, Romania\, Brazil\, Korea\, Turkey\, Bosnia\, Canada\, Poland\, throughout the U.S. and now to Carmel by the Sea!\n  \n\n\nFor more information about Joan\, please visit her website at  www.joangratz.com

SUMMARY:Encounter Intuitive
DESCRIPTION:Dates Added!\n\n\nEncounter Intuitive is a multimedia production built around the art and philosophies of neurodivergent and outsider artists. Through an absurdist narrative of space traveling missionaries exploring “The Fringe” of their solar system\, Janice Rocke\, Rocket Garcia and award winning poet\, Aideed Medina have woven together a series of scenes that parallel the colonization of art with the historical colonization of Indigenous lands. \nEach planet the missionaries visit is represented by one of eight profiled artists. Using video projections\, the landscapes of the planets resemble the artists’ work. The culture is reminiscent of the artists’ creative philosophies and social concerns. The deities of the planets are the artists themselves. \nThe absurdists narrative of the colonizers is contrasted by scenes written from the POV of the “indigenous” communities of the planets. These scenes are tonally more serious and focus on issues of institutionalization\, homelessness\, othering of LBGTQIA+ and BIPOC people\, and obstacles particular to neurodivergent artists. The storylines reflect how art provided these artists with succor and even processes of recovery. \nA third aspect of the show is visually dynamic dance performances choreographed by Deanna Ross and performed by Carri Rochelle\, Jennah Montemayor\, Cody Moore and Fred Bologna (who will all also be acting). Other local talents include Sean Aten\, Joe Nance\, Eboni Harris and Mya Shiloh. \nFriday\, March 17th and Saturday\, March 18th performances at 7:30 pm\, Sunday\, March 19th at 3pm.\nNew dates added: Friday\, March 24th at 7:30pm\, Saturday\, March 25th at 8:00pm. \n$22 at the door or through Eventbrite.com.

SUMMARY:The Ins and Outs of Fingers\, Spoons  and an Open Marriage
DESCRIPTION:The Ins and Outs of Fingers\, Spoons and an Open Marriage\, a play written and performed by Pascale-Roger-McKeever and directed by Austin Pendleton\, will be held Saturday\, December 17th\, at 7:00pm. Door will open at 6:30PM for a reception featuring wine and light fare (included in the ticket price). \nAbout the Play: \nA suburban mom accepts her husband’s invitation to open marriage and proceeds with a singleness of purpose no one saw coming. The Ins and Outs acknowledges and embraces the acute discomfort of living out our inescapable sexuality. A funny and shameless exploration of shame itself that for good measure upends accepted notions about healing and self-realization along the way.   \nIns and Outs is produced by Robert Chestnut in collaboration with the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. Warning: explicit language and adult subject matter not suitable for children under 18. Tickets are $50\, available on Eventbrite or by calling (831) 624-7491.\n_______________________________________________________________________________________ \nReviews: \nFrom Michael Billington\, theatre critic\, The Guardian: “A remarkable journey into the interior of a woman experiencing what Shakespeare called ‘the very wrath of love’… brilliantly performed and written with gut-wrenching honesty by Pascale Roger-McKeever.”  \nFrom Elissa Barnard\, NS Review: “Roger-McKeever strips away all the bells and whistles of theatre and conventional ideas about mothers and sexuality for an amazing\, unflinching look at a woman’s life […] and delivers a spellbinding performance as she weaves in and out of past and present\, quiet and loud\, motherly and sexual\, sarcastic and ribald\, sad and playful.”  \nMegan Grabowski\, Pittsburgh Review. “McKeever is brilliant in her delivery of Mom. She is ecstatic\, sad\, scared\, insightful\, and all that makes up a woman. And truth be told (finally)\, moms know there is nothing else like motherhood to strip a female of her identity.”  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Silents: Before Movies Talked
DESCRIPTION:A new play by writer-director Tom Parks.\nHollywood! All the glitz\, the glamour\, the pulse\, and the romance of the movies! One of America’s most honored film critics said it: “Everything I know I learned at the movies.” So true for the millions of people the world over who celebrate each occasion they step in front of a cinema box office today.

Won’t you join us for a return to the movies where the car chases were fun\, the cops were called Keystone\, the girls were known as vamps\, and the music came from an old upright piano in the pit.  What a swell show! \n\n\n\nSilents:Before Movies Talked opens Friday\, June 17th through Sunday\, July 3\, 2022.
