SUMMARY:Audtions: Drunk As You Like It
DESCRIPTION:An X*ACT First! Inspired by our friends at Dayton Drunk Theater we are looking for 8-16 actors of all types\, at least 21 or older\, that aren’t afraid to get a little wild for As You Like It (as a drunk play)!

What is absolutely mandatory for all roles: willing to improvise and go with the flow. No one under 18 will be permitted to the performances during the show run. (Also\, a role you don’t have to memorize?? HECK YEA!)\n\n\n\nA casting call/read through will be held August 18th\, 2025 at 7PM. Be there!

SUMMARY:Resilient Convergence
DESCRIPTION:The gallery is proud to present painter/printmaker\, Gretchen Durst Jacobs. This exhibition exhibits 35 pieces of her new works. This exhibition explores the raw\, intuitive energy that defines Abstract Expressionism—not as a singular style\, but as a radical movement that gave voice to the internal landscapes of the artist. Born in the aftermath of war\, and shaped by displacement\, uncertainty\, and a hunger for new forms of meaning\, Abstract Expressionism emerged as a declaration of both autonomy and vulnerability.
