When Gold
Blossoms: Indian Jewelry from the Susan L. Beningson Collection
When Gold
Blossoms: Indian Jewelry from the Susan L. Beningson Collection
celebrates the dazzling beauty and awe-inspiring technical craftsmanship
of Indian jewelry with more than 150 pieces spanning 2,000 years,
primarily from South India. The title alludes to the preference for gold
in South Indian jewelry—North Indian jewelry, on the other hand, is
known primarily for the use of precious and semiprecious stones—as well
as to the strong influence of nature on the designs, from ear studs in
the form of a lotus to armbands featuring petal-and-leaf weaving. When
Gold Blossoms includes spectacular rings, anklets, earrings, hair
pendants, jeweled crowns, ivory combs, and an elaborate swing and a gold
throne for a deity. Some of the pieces are worn in daily life, others
dedicated to deities in Hindu temples. Photographs from the 19th and
20th centuries will be displayed alongside the jewelry to provide a
fuller understanding of the ways in which jewelry is worn and used.

Kiln-Formed Glass by Linda Hirsch
Drawn to the
versatility of the medium of fused or kiln-formed glass, Hirsch enjoys
the challenge of simultaneously developing new techniques while creating
interesting works. Her glass pieces are fun, functional, and decorative
inspired from sources as varied as a simple logo or an elaborate
mosaic. Her designs are often minimal, with their appeal deriving from
the beauty of the glass and their ability to amuse and delight.

Judgement
by Ferrol Sams
From one of
the South’s best loved authors comes a hilarious tale that illuminates
the human mind and spirit. Ruthie Lee is a true believer and does not
take much of anything – including herself- too seriously. When she finds
herself alone in church after services she shares stories of her
community, pastors – past and present and herself. Ferrol Sams probes
deeply into the irony, humor and fickleness of humankind and comes up
with precious nuggets of universal truth. Judgment is adapted for the
stage by Betty Cooper Hirt from the short story by Ferrol Sams.

Loot
by Joe
Orton
An upside
down corpse, a bank robbery, two thieves, a slightly unhinged policeman
and a glass eye... On the eve of his mother's funeral, a guy robs a bank
with his friend while his mother's nurse, who has a penchant for murder,
plots her eighth marriage to the dead woman's flora-obsessed husband.
Add in a policeman, a large quantity of loot hidden in the coffin and
the corpse in a wardrobe, and you have this edgy farce about greed,
hypocrisy, and police brutality that is full of laughs, dark humor and
wit. Mayhem and anarchy reign in this hilarious and shocking comedy by
one of Britain’s funniest playwrights.
