Deland Anderson
The One and the many
Opening Dec 7, 5 to 7 pm, Artist talk at 6 pm.
Homer painter Deland Anderson presents large acrylics on canvas and small tempera paintings with his signature dot technique of iconic Alaskan vistas like Sadie Peak and St. Augustine Volcano in dancing color.
"In the multiplicity of dots, a philosophical mystery arises, that of The One and the many. Two dots on a canvas, for example, is a symbol of two universes. This leads inevitably to the thought of multiple universes and the attendant questions of other worlds, plural selves, time travel, cosmic cycles and hierarchies, etc. So, one of my paintings comprises many thousands of individual symbols of possible worlds and all that might come with them. This is the absolute freedom of art."
It’s a Wonderful Life: a live radio play
Fri & Sat evening, Dec 28 & Dec 29 at 7:30 pm
Saturday matinee at 3 pm
 “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” is a novel and entirely entertaining way to look at the classic film that’s become a holiday tradition…A quintet of lively raconteurs from Cyrano’s Theatre Company perform the story as 1940s radio stars presenting a Christmas Eve broadcast… The viewers become the studio audience, cued by a flashing “Applause” sign. The spiffily dressed actors perform five main characters and more than a dozen extras: the come-hitherish Violet Bicks, the greedy Mr. Potter, the saintly yet spirited Mary Hatch, and a host of townspeople ranging from a voluble cabbie to a cranky bank customer.
Suggested admission $15
