Three Decades of Paintings

I wanted to remind everyone about Professor Harold Reddicliffe’s opening on Thursday, November 18, at 6:00 p.m.  More than 80 pieces of his work dating from 1981 will be up from November 19 — January 16, in the Faye, Jo., and James Stone Gallery, 855 Commonwealth Avenue.

Professor Reddicliffe, a highly valued School of Visual Arts faculty member,  is a 2010 recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship in Painting.

“My recent paintings explore the transformation that occurs when ordinary objects are subjected to extraordinary scrutiny.”  — Harold Reddicliffe

BU’s Boston Center For American Performance Opens 2010/11 Season With C.P. Taylor’s “Good”

One of the more discomfiting features of evil is how ordinary it is.  How did so many "good" people acquiesce to Hitler's savagery? British playwright C.P. Taylor bravely addresses this question in his 1981 play, "Good."

I attended the opening of "Good" last Saturday, staged by our own  Boston Center for American Performance, and directed by its artistic founder and BU School of Theatre director, Jim Petosa.   It was a vibrant production of a great play and an example of what a student/faculty collaboration can achieve.  Don't miss it.

Good runs through November 21, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.;
 Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m., at the Boston University Theatre, Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley Studio 210, 264 Huntington Ave., Boston. (By
 T, Green Line E trolley, Symphony stop, or Orange Line, Mass Ave stop). Tickets are available by calling 617-933-8600 or here.
