by Kate Falluca

Laurene Dolan directed the Lakeside Players in “Romance in D”, “Sleeping Beauty and the Beast”, and she will be directing them in the upcoming production of “The Vagina Monologues”.

“The Vagina Monologues” introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices. A six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who “liked to look at it”.

House of Pancake ~ Meet Julie Sepanski . . .

by Franco Tarsitano

Usually the nursery rhyme “Black Birds In a Pie,” would definitely ruffle some feathers, but Julie Sepanski’s nest is full of pancakes. You’d think a mother of five boys would be more like “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but in this case mom creates art, and on occasion a piece or two does make it to the oven.

FRANCO: Name all your pancakes?

JULIE: My pancakes names are Madison-9ish, Austin-6, Alex-3, Carter and Tater-2.

FRANCO: How did you come up with the pancakes name? Continue reading →

Stockwood in Kenosha - Roll Over Beethoven! . . .

Friday June 6 at the Kenosha Bloomin’ Days MAIN STAGE

The recipients of the 2006 and 2007 “Battle of the Beatle Bands” at Chicago Fest, Stockwood is the “world’s youngest Beatles tribute band”. At an amazingly young age, these lads bring together their musical proficiency to entertain audiences of varying ages with music that transcends time.

People often ask, “Do the boys lip sync?” or “Do they play a CD in the background to help them out?” The answer to both is a resounding NO! All four boys sing and play their musical instruments without accompaniment from anyone or anything. They are friends offstage and have a musical connection in their admiration of The Beatles.

Attempts at a Unified Theory

The Underwood Gallery Presents
A Solo Exhibition of Contemporary Woven Tapestries by Sheila Held
Artist Reception: June 5, 2008 6–9 pm
Exhibit: June 5, 2008 – July 3, 2008

Viewing Sheila’s work draws you into her pieces. She explains that Tantra means “the weaving”. Tapestry is a form of tantra.

Vertical warp threads, purusha, unchanging and unseen. The ground of being held together; horizontal weft threads, maya, ever–varied and visible, the outward manifestation. This union of threads forms an image that, like matter itself, appears to be continuous but is in actuality composed of quantified units.

Materially–speaking fibers, conceptually–speaking pixels. Tapestry is never free from the grid, but with help of creative consciousness is able to sabotage it from within. The precise and time–consuming process is, in itself, a statement against the current emphasis on what is ephemeral and dispensable.
