Today and tomorrow (Wed & Thurs) are the last two days to view "Staging America: The Artistic Legacy of the Provincetown Players" in ArtSpace West. This exhibit allows you to see and hear the history of the Provincetown Players, the group that helped usher American theatre into the Modern era of the 20th century, as well as introduce the playwrights Eugene O'Neill and Susan Glaspell. ArtSpace West is open from 12n-5pm.

"Staging America: The Artistic Legacy of the Provincetown Players" continues in ArtSpace West through Thursday, March 30th. The exhibit invites you to step into the world of the Players from their inception in Summer of 1915 in Provincetown on Cape Cod to their establishment as a company in Greenwich Village in the Fall of 1916. In the process, the Players ushered American theatre into the modern age. One feature is a short film that uses original photos from their productions of Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones" (photo here showing the original "Brutus Jones" Charles Gilpin) and "The Hairy Ape," both early examples of expressionism in American theatre. ArtSpace West is open Mondays-Thursdays from 12noon-5pm.

A reminder that tonight is the opening of "Staging America: The Artistic Legacy of the Provincetown Players" in ArtSpace West from 7-9pm. This installation celebrates the work of the American theatre company the Provincetown Players and the release of IAP faculty Jeff Kennedy’s new book by the same title. The exhibit features historical photos, narrative, film, video, projections, interactive websites, and audio that display the story of the Players and how they ushered American theatre into the modern era. A special feature TONIGHT ONLY will be a staged reading of Susan Glaspell’s play, “Trifles,” featuring some of our finest local actors. This play continues to have its own legacy as one of the first feminist plays and as the most anthologized one-act in all of American theatre (This photo is of a performance in 1918, though our actors don't look quite so gray). The reception begins at 7:00 pm in ArtSpace West, and the performance will start around 7:30 pm. We hope you can attend.

This Wednesday night, March 15, from 7-9 pm is the opening reception for a new installation in ArtSpace West: "Staging America: The Artistic Legacy of the Provincetown Players." Created by IAP faculty Jeff Kennedy, this installation uses historical photos, visual art, videos, interactive media, and sound to celebrate the legacy of the Players who from 1915-1922 were instrumental in ushering American theatre into the modern era with experimental plays written by American playwrights. Dr. Kennedy also has a new book that was just released with the same title as this installation. As a special event for the opening reception, five professional actors will be performing "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell, which was premiered by the Players and is considered one of America's first feminist plays (as well as the most anthologized one-act play in the American canon). We invite you to join us; food will be served, and the performance will begin around 7:30 pm. This installation will continue through March 30; ArtSpace West is open Mondays-Thursdays from 12 noon- 5:00 pm.

Our next installation in ArtSpace West is "Staging America" from March 16-30. IAP faculty Jeffery Kennedy presents an historical installation of photos, ephemera, and videos that celebrate the artistic legacy of the Provincetown Players, the subject of his recently released book. This originally amateur theatre company changed American theatre beginning in 1915 by ushering it into the modern era in terms of its writing style and subject matter, and in the process introduced the world to playwrights that included Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, Edna St. Vincent Millay, John Reed, and Djuna Barnes. The opening reception on Wed, Mar 15 @ 7 p. m. will feature a staged reading of Glaspell's play "Trifles."

Opening with a reception on Wed, Oct 5 @ 7pm, alejandro t. acietro: "Strategies for the evasion of capture" uses photographs, video, sculpture, and performance to look, metaphorically and actually, at pugos, a unique low-flying bird from the Philippines that consistently remain obscure from photographic capture. Their elusive nature poetically opens the possibility of other realities, of other existences, or of different ways of being that are not reliant on colonial contact. This installation draws from archival television news footage, interviews with prominent zoologists, and historical ephemera in an exhibition that gestures to contemporary discourses around visibility and the tensions embedded in surveillance cultures.
