AVA Center holds Sol Domus and Uncorked Paintings reception Feb. 10
Restoration comedy classic launches UW's spring semester theatre season
From a UW press release:
The University of Wyoming Department of Theatre and Dance's spring season opens with "The Beaux' Stratagem" at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7-11 on the Fine Arts main stage.
Tickets cost $14 for the public, $11 for senior citizens and $7 for students. For tickets and information, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www.uwyo.edu/finearts .
Directed by John O'Hagan, "The Beaux' Stratagem" is George Farquhar's tale of two insolvent rakes who to try to marry into money to replenish their coffers.
A late Restoration classic with a surprisingly moral compass, "The Beaux' Stratagem" was first produced at the Haymarket Theatre in London in 1707, and was one of the most frequently performed English comedies for more than a century.
"The beautiful thing about this play is how it bridges two eras so wonderfully by retaining elements of the more raucous Restoration comedies," says O'Hagan. "We're taking a light-hearted approach to this piece, making it really frothy and fun."
The story centers on aristocratic rakes Tom Aimwell and Jack Archer, who have nearly exhausted their limited inheritances on drink and gambling. With a mere 200 pounds left between them, they leave the high life in London for the countryside in hopes of marrying rich and repairing their fortunes. Posing as master and servant, they roam about until they find a wealthy heiress for one of them to marry. However, their scheming is soon complicated by true love and a band of thieves.
"Farquhar wrote what made him laugh," says O'Hagan. "The play pokes holes and has fun with the moral and societal strictures of the time, but he lets the political ideas come through without being terribly overt."

It is time for the 17th Annual Salon Des Refuse hosted by Student Art League. The Salon des Refuse will consist of fabulous artwork created by University of Wyoming art students. It will be located in the Works of Wyoming art gallery in the Laramie Plains Civic Center, Suite 271. The reception will take place the morning of Saturday, January 28 from 10am – noon.
“The Morning After” is the opening event and title for the Salon this year. The annual Salon de Refuse is an event started by the Student Art League and consists of artwork that was not selected for the Juried University of Wyoming Student Exhibition. The Salon de Refuse was one of the first alternative art exhibitions set up by famous artists such as Manet, Cezanne, and Picasso. These artists were not yet famous in the 1800s and their works were not allowed into the traditional galleries. We invite you to come look for your own Cezanne among this fabulous work.
The Salon will be open from January 28 – February 17. Student Art League will present a $100 cash award to one artist and Works of Wyoming has donated a membership for a second artist award.

Cindy George named new executive director of Center for the Arts in Jackson
After six months without an ED, the Center’s board of directors has finally filled the position with a local candidate. Wilson resident Cindy George has accepted an offer to be the new executive director. George previously served on the Art Association’s board of directors and has been involved with some of the Center’s other resident organizations as a board member, consultant and volunteer.
She was also an integral component of the initial Center for the Arts Capital Campaign. When asked about the possibility of taking over as the Center’s new executive director just a day before the decision was announced, George replied, “I’m excited about this opportunity and I am looking forward to working with all the creative partners housed at the Center as well as the other arts and education organizations in the community.”
The Center’s Board should be congratulated on hiring a local instead of an out-of-town candidate. No matter how much fundraising experience a prospective candidate has, it’s really irrelevant if you don’t know the locals who have an active interest in supporting the arts. George’s deep ties in the community will surely help efforts to chart a new direction for the Center.
