Join the Elemental Theatre Ensemble for their production of "King Stag" at the Tiverton Four Corners Arts Center. The play, written by Carlo Gozzi in 1762 and adapted by Dave Rabinow and directed by Peter Sampieri ("Wit", "A Christmas Carol" at Trinity Rep), promises to be a family-oriented romantic comedy with live musical numbers and stunning visual spectacle. In this magical fairy tale people are transformed into animals, wizards are imprisoned within parrots, and statues come to life in this vibrant, fast-paced production, performed in rhyming verse by 8 actors playing a total of 25 roles, transforming an old play into a current fable, both funny and touching, that speaks to modern audiences of all ages. In case of rain the production will be held inside of The Meeting House with limited seating, please call for reservations.

Artists, art collectors and dealers will not want to miss an informative lecture by Susan Fader, co-owner of Ditto Editions, one of the country's leaders in Fine Art Digital Printing, located in Marblehead, Massachusetts. In her talk, Susan will unravel the mysteries surrounding the fine art digital print process, explaining that it is more than scanning an image, color correcting and printing on a digital printer. She will demonstrate how recent technological advances will impact the understanding and positioning of digital prints not only as a reproduction method but also as a way that many artists create new work. Please RSVP to the gallery at 401-751-2628 or lindsay@bertgallery.com.
