Once in a Lifetime
By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
Al Jolson’s The Jazz Singer had just revolutionized the movie business, and with the onset of the “talkies,” many silent film stars were having trouble making the adjustment. But three out-of-work New York stage performers —May, Jerry and George—see an opportunity and head to Hollywood to make their fortune teaching silent movie stars how to speak and articulate. Considered one of the best collaborations by Broadway luminaries Kaufman and Hart, this hilarious screwball spoof melds the worlds of theater and film in brilliant style.

God of Carnage
By Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
God of Carnage, a triple-Tony-Award-winning Broadway sensation, is a 90-minute thrill ride that takes you into the most perilous place on earth: parenthood. After Alan and Annette’s son hits Michael and Veronica’s son with a stick, the two couples meet to discuss the problem over appetizers. But what starts as a civilized get-together between affluent New York professionals quickly descends into chaos. The sleek new comedy from the playwright of Art, the International Herald Tribune called God of Carnage “an expert piece of stagecraft and savagely funny.”

Yentl
A play based on Isaac Bashevis Singer’s short story “Yentl The Yeshiva Boy”
Adapted for the stage by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer
In the Eastern European world of 1873, options for young women are few, and the study of Torah and Talmud are forbidden. In the village of Yanev, however, Yentl has pursued such studies, the passion of her life, under the tutelage of her father. After he dies, Yentl’s only hope of continuing her dreams is to disguise herself as a boy in order to join a yeshiva, or religious school. But when she falls in love with a boy at the school, Yentl must decide whether or not to reveal the truth. For everyone who has wanted to do something and was told they couldn’t, and for everyone who has loved the wrong person for the right reason, this beautifully written play with music resonates with pure magic.

Selby Galleries I & II: An historical look at several outstanding series of prints by J.M.W. Turner featuring artist proofs with his instructions written in the margins for published engravings of the Loire Valley and Seine Valley and bound books from the collection of Douglass Montrose-Graem, founder of the J.M.W. Turner Museum in Denver, Colorado, and now a resident of Sarasota.
[J.M.W. Turner] Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775 –1851) is considered to be one of the most versatile, successful, and innovative painters of 19th-century England. He was hailed as a forerunner of modernist abstraction, and his voluminous output includes watercolors, oil paintings, and etchings that range from depictions of local topography to atmospheric renderings of formidable storms and awe-inspiring terrain. The artist left more than 19,000 watercolors, drawings, and oils to the public. Most of these works are in the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery in London.
[J.M.W. Turner Museum] Founded in 1973 in Denver, to present art to the public by appealing to all our five senses simultaneously—to our eyes with the art on the wall; to our ears with music, live and piped in classic, [not classical], music; to our nose with the fragrance of flowers and the bouquet of wines; to our taste with gourmet meals and splendid tea parties and to our touch with antique furniture and decorative elements of the highest order. For more information visit www.turnermuseum.org.
[Free Public Activities in Selby Gallery]
Thurs., Feb. 23, 7 p.m.: Curator Presentation & Preview in gallery followed by Music Program by Elenora Lvov, concert pianist: a 30-45 minute consert of classical pieces that were written during Turner's lifetime.
Fri., Feb. 24, 5 - 7 p.m.: Opening reception
Mon., Feb. 27, 11:30 a.m.: Director’s Tour
[Elenora Lvov] Ms. Lvov has achieved world-wide acclaim as a piano virtuoso and popular recording artist. Winner of many prestigious International competitions, she performs widely as a soloist and with major orchestras, including command performances, throughout the US, Europe and Russia. She is a dynamic teacher of master classes and music history and also conducts private lessons for all levels in her studio in Sarasota. Eleonora Lvov has achieved an international reputation as a piano virtuoso. Daughter of musical parents, her principal studies were with her father, the late Boris Lvov, renowned pianist and teacher at the Moscow and Stuttgart Conservatories for many years.
Now a U.S. citizen, Ms. Lvov has continued her performing career and expanded her teaching with recitals and master classes in music schools, colleges, and universities. In the few years that she spent in Cleveland as Artist-in Residence and Head of the piano department at the Cleveland Music School Settlement and Artist-in-Residence and member of the piano faculty at Ursuline College, she gave numerous solo and orchestral performances and was hailed by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as a “flaming virtuoso” and a “musical personality who has made a considerable impact on Cleveland musical life.”
Ms. Lvov maintains a studio in Sarasota, Florida where she teaches students of all ages and all levels. For more information visit www.EleonoraLvov.com.
