By Thornton Wilder
Directed by David Richman
In one of the most original and provocative plays ever composed by an American writer, Thornton Wilder uses the seemingly ordinary events in an ordinary turn-of-the-century New Hampshire town to give his audience rare insight into life's most extraordinary miracles and tragedies: birth and death; inspiring generosity and corrosive gossip; love and loss. Each of life's moments is extraordinary, Wilder warns us. We must savor each of our moments before all are gone forever. More

The term stile antico, pronounced STEE-lay an-TEE-co, literally means 'old style'. It was coined during the seventeenth century to describe the style of Renaissance church composition epitomised by the music of Palestrina—polyphonic and imitative in texture, even in rhythm, strictly controlled in its use of dissonance—as opposed to the modern developments in the works of Monteverdi and his contemporaries.

Touch the Earth and Caught up with Reality
Exhibition runs through October 13, 2013
Museum of Art, Paul Creative Arts Center
Touch the Earth
Ceramicists Al Jaeger, Warren Mather, Jonathan Mess, and Joan Walton create sculptures that display an intimate knowledge of their immediate surroundings – each object a microcosm of the area in which they work. The works of art comment on the regional diversity of the landscape from beaches, forests, and deserts to the residue of urban development.
Caught Up with Reality
The still life as subject provided opportunities for late 19th and 20th-century American artists to investigate their understanding of vision and perception as shifting and multi-faceted, or choosing objects as symbols to comment on cultural themes. Drawn from the museum’s collection, this exhibition examines ways in which artists explored realism as an illusionistic window as well as expressed contemporary ideas of constructing meaning in art.
