Free Sidney & Berne David Art Center ‘Art Walk’ is Aug. 7
The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center presents the More Crinoline Production of “Final Stage” for August’s Art Walk on Friday, Aug. 7. The one-act performances will be at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. They are free and open to the public. Also, on display will be the landscape and abstract art of local artist Carol McArdle (www.carolsheart.com) according to Jim Griffith, executive director of the art center.
The August Art Walk’s free theatre at the Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center premieres “Final Stage,” an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s “Swan Song,” by local playwright and actor Louise Wigglesworth. Griffith said performances are held usually on the first Friday of each month.
After celebrating her final performance, her “swan song,” a little too heavily, the aging diva Leda Largo has fallen asleep on stage, promoters say. When she wakes deserted by her friends in a dark, cold theatre, she finds herself alone with only her life’s triumphs and disasters, her ghosts, and a cheeky homeless woman who secretly lives in the Green Room. In this company Leda takes on the fact of her mortality, and deals with it in the only way a true artist can.
Wigglesworth plays the role of Leda and Mahli Howell appears as Celeste.
