The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West, and he seeks Anna's assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story. Along with the dazzling score, the incomparable Jerome Robbins ballet, 'The Small House of Uncle Thomas,' is one of the all-time marvels of the musical stage. Directed by Sue Lindhom, musical director Geraldine Bowles, Choreographer Kelly Quealy.

Understanding Abstract Art with Carl Lopes - October 29, 6:30 - 8:30 pm: If you've ever been to a museum or a dinner party with art lovers, you've probably heard people discussing "abstract art"-but it seems like every time the topic comes up, it gets more convoluted. Abstract art doesn't have to be so unclear. There is a way to "read" an abstract painting and a basic understanding can take you a long way! With a basic idea of the history of abstract art, you can apply a method to every painting you see-so when you're faced with a "what the heck am I looking at" piece, you'll know where to begin. Join this interesting and interactive experience as we discuss the concepts and techniques behind abstract art.

A 3-Day Fall Playwright Workshop at The Provincetown Theater

This warm, welcoming writing workshop is designed to focus on what's super in your play - while bringing out the playwright superhero in you. Ed will present his "How To Be a Writing Superhero" seminar, sharing the secrets of how to leap tall piles of printer paper, outrun speeding critics, turn back time for deadlines, defeat writing super villains, live a healthy writing life, make art in a sometimes indifferent world... and save the world with your words! If you choose to, you'll have the opportunity to present a 10-minute-or-under sample of your work (scene, excerpt, or monologue) to be read out loud by your fellow workshop attendees. This can be a pre-existing piece, or something you develop during our time together. After the reading, Ed will lead the group in contributing an incisive, clear, supportive critique with utmost respect for each artist and zero Sturm und Drang. Volunteers will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis. We'll cover as many as time-allows. Let us know if you'll have something to share when you sign up. Whatever your stage in the superhero writing life (master or novice, Batman or Robin)... whatever your playwriting style... and regardless of your particular strengths or blocks, this weekend will help you reconnect with your passion for playwriting and express the excellence that's uniquely you. This workshop is partially funded by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod.
Call Sunie & Erica at the theater to register and for more details: 508-487-7487. The Provincetown theater is located at 238 Bradford Street, Provincetown.
