Over the past two years, over 50 artists and 20 studios have been part of the tour offering a variety of ways for participants to see and collect art. Not an art aficionado? Not a problem. The Montgomery County Studio Tour is not an exclusive club. Just come out and enjoy a weekend of open studios. Aspiring art collector? Plan your weekend and get out early to ensure you have art on your walls by Monday.
Montgomery County Studio Tour makes art affordable for everyone and shows that art can be everywhere. Every artist on the tour is required to create one unique, 6-inch x 6-inch piece of original art to sell for $75 as a “County Collector.” All other artwork is available for sale at full price. Whether this is your first time buying original art or you are a seasoned collector, the tour has something for everyone.
Louis Katz’s comedy deftly combines the highbrow and the lowbrow, creating a style that is truly unique. An internationally headlining comedian, Louis’ numerous television appearances include NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” HBO’s “Down & Dirty with Jim Norton,” and most recently, Comedy Central’s “This Is Not Happening.” His own half-hour stand-up special also aired on Comedy Central.
One could hardly call this a typical Shakespeare play. Cameras are rolling on the 1930’s Hollywood set of A Mid Summer Night’s Dream. Actors are in place and German director, Max Reinhardt, is barking direction at them. During the commotion, who should appear on scene but Shakespeare’s very own characters, Oberon and Puck! The film actors not only find themselves switching in and out of scenes with the jesters, but also discover that the real Puck has found a way to utilize his love potion! What else will this otherworldly encounter have in store for them?
SHOW DATES: June (2019) 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22
Biloxi Blues centers on the experiences of a young army recruit, Eugene Morris Jerome, during World War II. At basic training in Biloxi, Mississippi, Eugene is determined to use his army experiences to help his writing career, and keeps detailed memoirs about his experiences. Eugene and his fellow soldiers-in-training suffer under a hard-nosed drill sergeant, attempt to stomach the terrible army food served up in the mess hall, and bond over an adventure to visit the local prostitute. Along the way, Eugene is forced to learn about authority, danger, sex, assimilation, bigotry, homosexuality and love. In the process, he discovers that life can be both ugly and tender.
