SUMMARY:PHOTOSC PRESENTS ADD|MIX|FOLD BY ARTIST NANCY FARESE ON AUGUST 23
DESCRIPTION:Photographs\, thread\, and collage weave a visual memoir about growing up in the South in the 60s. Add|Mix|Fold opens on August 22\, 2024\, at PhotoSC in Columbia\, South Carolina. \nPhotoSC is proud to present Add|Mix|Fold\, a mixed media exhibition by artist Nancy Richards Farese on view from August 23 through September 21\, 2024. A reception with the artist will occur on Friday\, August 23\, at 918 Lady Street\, Columbia\, SC\, from 6-8 pm\, and a book signing with Farese will be held at All Good Books at 734 Harden St\, Columbia\, SC\, on Saturday\, August 24\, at 2 pm. The exhibition debuted at Maine Media in Spring 2023 and will make its fifth stop in Columbia\, SC\, on its multi-city tour throughout the Southeast. \nI still speak Southern in my head… \nAdd|Mix|Fold is inspired by a family pound cake recipe and a metaphor for how stories are mixed and folded into memory\, and by bringing the past into the present\, this work asks that art become essential in making and remaking sense of our lives. As a Southerner\, the artist examines how we also ‘sift’ through the legacy that we inherit\, paradoxical in beauty and violence\, to decide what to hold onto and let go. Like these art objects\, memory is constantly being assembled and collaged\, a quilt of fact and fiction that we wrap ourselves in. \nThe exhibition features 30 hand-crafted photographs\, which are tactile by design and push back on digital and synthetic imagery. Adding dimensionality with collage and thread suggests both assembly and exclusion. Stitching is\, after all\, our most ancient form of repair\, associated with the practical but also the creative and the subversive. \nNancy Richards Farese is a California-based photographer who grew up in Carrollton\, Georgia. She is a writer and social entrepreneur whose creative process is grounded in visual storytelling and social impact. Farese is an award-winning documentary photographer and has written extensively on the value of creativity and play in our work. She has collaborated with international development organizations\, including the UN High Commission on Refugees\, Refuge Point\, and CARE USA\, to create a visual survey of children’s play around the world. The book Potential Space: A Serious Look at Child’s Play was published in December 2021\, and an exhibition of the series is traveling from 2023-2028. She is the founder and board chair of CatchLight.io\, a visual first media organization that leverages the power of visual storytelling to inform\, connect\, and transform communities. She lectures on the social value of promoting a more playful world and the importance of supporting a robust visual media ecosystem in civil society. \n

SUMMARY:Anything Goes at Town Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Prepare to embark on a high-seas adventure as Town Theatre proudly presents the timeless classic\, Anything Goes. This vibrant\, toe-tapping musical promises a voyage filled with laughter\, romance and Cole Porter’s unforgettable melodies. \nAt the ship’s helm as Reno Sweeney is Rebecca Seezen (Mamma Mia!)\, who pals around with best friend Billy Crocker\, played by Aydan Wunderlich (Into the Woods). Billy is in love with debutante Hope Harcourt\, portrayed by Alex Carrico (Jekyll & Hyde)\, but she is betrothed to the quirky Lord Evelyn Oakleigh\, brought to life by David LaTorre (Beautiful). Complicating matters is Hope’s mother\, Mrs. Evangeline Harcourt\, entangled in her own romance with the imbibing and sometimes imbecilic Eli Whitney. Kathy Hartzog (Driving Miss Daisy) and Bill DeWitt (Moon Over Buffalo) take on this comedic duo. Add to the mix gangster Moonface Martin and his sidekick Erma\, played by Scott Vaughan (The Music Man) and Maggie Baker (The All Night Strut!)\, and you’re sure to find yourself enjoying the voyage on the S.S. American\, where anything—and we mean anything—goes. \nThe crew is shipshape with our Captain\, played by Chip Collins (The Play That Goes Wrong)\, and his Purser\, Todd Gustafson (The Wizard of Oz). Ensuring things are tip-top on board are our sailors: Liam Amil and Richard Fisher (both from Beauty and the Beast)\, Jack Bingham (Something Rotten)\, Jack Seezen (Les Mis: Student Edition)\, Jackson Wright (Newsies Jr.)\, and newcomers Benjamin Connelly and Braylen Hinton. Ashley Epperson (42nd Street)\, Kristy O’Keefe Satterwhite (Mamma Mia!)\, Kendall Scruggs (The Music Man)\, and Jenna Sweeney (The Sound of Music) bring a healthy dose of “hallelujah” as Reno’s Angels. Stirring up trouble are two New York kleptomaniac swindlers\, Spit and Dippy\, taken by Kameron Carpenter and Joey Weaver (both from Something Rotten). Carly Grosse\, Lexi Narry and Leah Tudor ascend the gangplank from the holiday hit White Christmas. Agnes Babb\, Lisa Baker\, Taryn Davis and Christy Shealy Mills journey to the ship via The Wizard of Oz’s yellow brick road. Eliza England and Abby Gamble depart the barricade of Les Mis: Student Edition\, while McKinley Porth and Sara Slaughter leave the renaissance of Something Rotten to join the ship’s manifest. Our journey would not be complete without welcoming a new Town voyager Dayna Arnett. Plus\, it’s all hands on deck with cameo appearances by Bill Bentley and Michael Seezen (both from The Play That Goes Wrong). Anchors aweigh with Anything Goes! \nAnything Goes runs from September 6-22\, with performances at 7:30 PM on Thursdays to Saturdays and 3:00 PM Sunday matinees. Don’t miss Town’s kickoff to the season with a special party hosted by the Town Theatre Board of Governors post-curtain on Friday\, September 6. Join the Board\, cast\, and crew for a toast to celebrate Town’s 105th season. \nThe show is directed by Shannon Willis Scruggs\, with Amanda Haines Wrona as music director and choreography by Joy Alexander. Dell Goodrich serves as costumer\, with set design by Bob Bramhall\, light design by Jeremy Hansard\, sound design by Clark Wilson\, and props by David LaTorre. The show is generously sponsored by Jim Hudson Automotive and Willis Tax & Accounting.
