Thinking about catching "Private Lives" this weekend? Better hurry as there are only a handful of tickets left for the remaining performances.
Long considered one of Coward's masterpieces, "Private Lives" takes a side-splitting look at the volatile chemistry that can draw couples together or split them apart. Sparkling with wit and wisdom, the play opens with once-married Elyot and Amanda now honeymooning at the same hotel with their new spouses. When their paths cross, the old spark is reignited and the two impulsively run away to Paris, only to wonder a few days later whether love, jealousy or anger is the hotter passion.

"SIESTA"
by Jessica Alazraki
Oil on Canvas, 48 x 60 inches
Jessica Alazraki's figurative portraits convey everyday stories of colorful characters. These are confronting the viewer, without interacting with each other, instead submerged in their own personal psyche. The narratives are based in ordinary and familiar scenes of Latino family life, highlighting the influence of American culture and implying indirect political statements. The strong presence of primitive and naïve style connects the works to folklore elements and Mexican crafts.
