The ensemble will select a painting and a related poem for inspiration and lyrics for each performance. The composition will take shape around those elements as the artists explores the relationship between creativity and its ability to channel through instruments (physical, vocal, or our bodies).

Thirty minutes will be left at the end to share the lore and hauntings of each object. 

Kylene Gilmore Talk on Being an Environmentalist and Artist

Thursday, October 24^th at 11 a.m.

As a climber and surfer she spends time in a multitude of ecosystems which have a vast array of biodiversity. Her B.A. in Environmental Studies at St. Mary’s College of California enhanced and furthered her curiosities regarding how we and all beings interact and influence one another in this web of life. Wanting to bridge the gap between science and art she furthered her education at CSU Monterey getting a certificate in Scientific Illustration.

The Park Theater Trust

Any Ted Lasso fans out there? If so, you’ll certainly recognize the banner now adorning the Park Theater marquee and smile at the message it conveyed to that lovable gang of footballers who, despite so many odds, overcame every one of them to emerge as true winners in the end. Well, the all-volunteer, nonprofit Park Theater Trust also continues to BELIEVE in its mission to light up the Park once more for Lafayette, Lamorinda, and the entire East Bay and it appears many of you do as well because, thanks to you, TPTT has PASSED $8 MILLION in its overall $12 million campaign to protect and revitalize the Park Theater!

Be sure to check out TPTT’s continued progress on its thermometer graphic in front of the Park (courtesy of Minuteman Press, who also BELIEVES!), along with the prominently displayed Donor Honor Roll posters. In addition to raising $1,048,271 from our wonderful community in 2023, a second local family very generously donated $1 million in early 2024. TPTT was also the recipient of a very successful fundraiser recently hosted by long-time TPTT supporter Leila Douglah and Douglah Designs, which brought in over $100,000!

TPTT continues huge forward progress with its design team led by Arcsine Architecture, and plans to initiate the permitting process with the city of Lafayette in just a few weeks. 

Don’t ever stop BELIEVING!! Please visit www.parktheatertrust.org for more information, including renovation renderings and how to donate to this community-wide initiative.
