| Rock & Reel
"Hey, that 48 Hour Film Project seems really interesting - are there any reasonably similar but distinguishable events coming up? Hopefully one with a less strict time-frame and maybe some cool local musical acts?" You're in luck. The inaugural Rock & Reel is gearing up to make a splash in October.
That's right - it's Rock-tober, Hip Hop-tober, Plastic Soul-tober and many more as local musical acts of every genre will collaborate with area filmmakers to produce a narrative music video in just one week. |
| BOB: Blessed Be the Dysfunction That Binds
Artists' Exchange will host "BOB: Blessed Be the Dysfunction That Binds" from September 6th through 9th. Mary Ann Hay directs this 90 minute one woman show written by and starring Anne Pasquale.

Playing 20 different characters in her 90-minute solo show, playwright and performer Anne Pasquale tells the hilarious and heartbreaking story of growing up in Rhode Island when her family is not quite the same as everyone else's. For everyone who has wondered at their own or anyone else's sanity, BOB reminds us that we can always acquire the tools to see us through."
Performances are at 7pm on September 6th, 7th and 8th, and then 2pm on Sunday, September 9th. The performance on Thursday the 6th will include an ASL interpretation by Mary Ellen Breen.
