Pretty Ugly: Deviant Materialism   

May 18 - June 24  

Mills Gallery at the BCA   


Pretty Ugly: Deviant Materialism features painting, sculpture, video and photography that vacillate between the beautiful and the grotesque and elicit visceral reactions of both attraction and repulsion, delight and disquiet. The eight artists in this exhibition build on process and body-based art histories and incorporate performance strategies.    


Curated by Nina Gara Bozicnik

Love Person   
May 25 - June 23 
BCA Plaza Theatre

Love Person is a transcendent four-part love story told in Sanskrit, American Sign Language, English and email. Two couples are rocked to their cores when love unexpectedly transcends sexual orientation, physical attraction, and social structures. Free, a Deaf woman in a relationship with Maggie, accidentally strikes up a correspondence with Ram, a B.U. professor of Sanskrit and love-interest of Free's sister Vic. The four find themselves inextricably bound by technology, translation, and the bre
akdown of language itself.

Presented by Company One, a Resident Theatre Company at the BCA.

Two-Headed
Through May 19
Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA

Utah, 1857: 127 West-bound pioneers die in the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The mass murder haunts Mormon daughters Lavinia and Hettie as they grow from friends, to mothers, to sister-wives. Tethered to their polygamous doctrine and to the men who killed in its name, can the women reconcile their faith with the truth?


Presented by GAN-e-meed Theatre Project.

Xanadu   
Through June 9
Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA

Based on the cult film of the same name, this riotous new musical follows the efforts of a magical Greek muse who descends to Earth to help a struggling artist achieve his dream. Featuring an ingenious book by Douglas Carter Beane (The Little Dog Laughed) and a score full of chart-topping tunes ("Magic," "Suddenly," "Evil Woman"), Xanadu is
"exuberant comedy... nimble, suitably over-the-top and very funny." (Boston Globe, 5/15).

Featuring McCaela Donovan, Shana Dirik, Ryan Overberg, Robert Saoud and Kathy St. George 
 

 

Presented by SpeakEasy Stage Company, the Calderwood Pavilion Resident Theatre Company at the BCA.
