Leisurecraft: A Southern Californian grimoire of collected travelogue fragments, portals, and totems. From the gallery: This solo exhibition featuring Jason Sherry consists of stereo 3D images shot on film, presented in chopped up tennis rackets modified for parallax display of interlaced stereo photographs. After the untimely death of dear friend and collaborator, Matt Hoyt, Jason Sherry and partner Leigh Wilson-Sherry embodied the spirit of Hoyt by saying, “yes” to every concert and every adventure.Jason started bringing his antique Revere 33 stereo 35mm film camera everywhere they journeyed. They went to see bands play at Pappy & Harriet’s making stops in Cabazon, Palm Springs, and Joshua Tree to take pictures. They went to Los Angeles several times to see bands, Idles, Sisters of Mercy, a festival with Siouxsie and Iggy Pop, each time making extra stops to take pictures of the Hollywood sign, the Griffith Observatory, Disneyland, and Vasquez Rocks. Jason always wanted to visit Vasquez Rocks, the shooting location most famous for a Star Trek episode wherein Captain Kirk fights an alien lizard man. Also, the location where Bill and Ted are murdered in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.Jason has harvested images from all these locations to combine, collage, and construct portals through this reality. This collection of images read like fragments from a near-death experience. Related links: Trash Lamb Gallery: website | appointments | Instagram | Facebook

Southwestern College Theatre Arts Department announces the first production of its 2023-2024 season, “The Cradle Will Rock”, by Marc Blitzstein. Written in 1936 and first produced in 1937, the groundbreaking musical comedy has been noted as a thoroughly American work, not only for its themes and its tunes, but in the ways is author captures the voice of the Depression-era working class in his musical phrasing. “The Cradle Will Rock” is set in 1937 in Steeltown, USA, when the workers at the steel mill owned by Mr. Mister are on a drive to unionize their factory. Mister, a wealthy industrialist, holds Steeltown’s political, financial, social, and religious activities in his iron grip. He forms the Liberty Committee, (comprised of the local minister, newspaper editor, physician, university president, and others) to apply pressure on the working class to keep them from unionizing. Larry Foreman, leader of the union drive proves more than a match for Mister. The conflict rages when the union drive intensifies and threatens Mr. Mister’s hold on power. As a composer, Blitzstein wrote in an advanced musical style, using a variety of rhythms, structures, and forms. His passion for the important issues he cared about are evident in the musical’s many songs, most notably “The Nickel Under Your Foot”, “The Cradle Will Rock”, and “Joe Worker” which all became anthems for the burgeoning union movement of the 1930s. The musical’s satirical, comedic style encompasses Bach’s fugue inventions, early 1900’s ragtime, 1920’s Charleston dance tunes, and heart-pounding modern ballads. Directed by Ruff Yeager and musically directed by Imahni King, the creative team includes Mike Buckley – Scenic, Lighting, and Properties Designer; Jeanne Reith - Costume Designer; Brandon Watterson - Sound Designers. The cast is comprised of talented Southwestern College Theatre Arts majors. The musical will feature on-stage cabaret seating as well as regular orchestra-level seating. Ticket prices are $20 (onstage seating), $15 for general admission. For ticket and show information, visit www.swctheatre.com
