An Evening With The Arts
Burnet residents Sally Stemac,
left, and Deni Martin, director of "Plaza Suite," the current production at Hill
Country Community Theater, and Mary Ann Fletcher of Marble Falls chatted about
the comedy at an event last week introducing the play to HCCT
supporters. Members of the Guild of HCCT provided refreshments for the
event. Hosted at the Riverbend Fine Art Gallery in Marble Falls, the party
highlighted both the performing and the design arts, as artist Char Eppright,
right, worked on an original pastel during the event and actors Preston and
Ronda Dale Kirk, shown with the artist, later performed a scene from the play
. Information about the comedy is available at
www.hcct.org .

An Evening With The Arts
Wednesday,
September 9th
5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Patrons
can expect both surprises & prizes at this event !
Char will be painting and the cast members
from the classic Neil Simon comedy
‘Plaza Suite,’
will discuss the show & preview a hilarious
scene.
The
Performing Artists...Preston
and Ronda Dale Kirk of
Spicewood, a couple in the play’s story as well as real life, will provide a
selected scene from Act I. The play is, in effect, three one-act plays all

The Visual Artist ...Simultaneously,
Austin-based artist Charlene Eppright will be
creating a painting that reflects one of the play’s themes – romance,
fidelity, marriage and parenting. Eppright, a member of the American Society
of Portrait Artists, has focused
her attention primarily on portraits for almost 30 years. Recently, Char has
been enjoying landscape painting especially in European countries. She is a
member of Plein Air Austin and also a founding member of the Austin Pastel
Society.
Plaza Suite's History...Jim
McDermott, HCCT’s Executive Director, will talk briefly about
the playwright and the staying power of the 40-year-old play, which also was
made into a movie with Walter Matthau and Jean Stapleton.

win two free tickets to the show (Sept. 10-27). Plaza Suite is opening at

Art from the
healing hands of
Helen Sikorski, MD
Saturday,
March 7, 2009
6:oo pm to
8:00 pm
"Art gives one
the latitude to express, unrestrained , ones' emotions through
illustrations, perhaps pleasing others, perhaps pleasing only the artist.
Through this expression the artist can heal the person within".
Helen invites
you "to see through her eyes."
Guest
Artist, Dr. Helen Sikorski
Dr Helen Sikorski
was a professional mezzo-soprano and a classically trained pianist before
she began her training at University of Buffalo Medical School. It was in an
era that rarely saw women accepted in medical school. After graduating in
1950 Dr. Sikorski was the only female physician during her internship and
residency! Her practice as a family physician spanned 41 years. Her medical
education courses in various parts of the world (Eastern Europe, England,
the Netherlands, Japan, China and throughout the United States) exposed Dr.
Sikorski to the riches of life and the broad reaches of the arts.
Sumi-E,
the art of Japanese brush painting
The unique
Japanese art form called “Sumi-e” literally mean ink painting or painting
done in charcoal ink. Sumi-e requires only simple materials such as black
ink, water and white paper. These materials can be used to produce an
infinite variety of tones. This factor combined with the wide range of
strokes available with the varied uses of the brush provide the many faceted
possibilities in the art of sumi-e. It is the use of a single color of ink
to suggest many different shades and the dynamic quality of the strokes that
produce the characteristic style of sumi-e. An oil painting can be touched
and retouched until the artist is satisfied with the final result, but with
the indelible materials of sumi-e it is not easy to make or add
afterthoughts. |

Auler paired "Rose Window, St. Ouen" with Fall Creek Vineyard's

time to savor and enjoy." |
