The Fame of the Prodigal Son: Il Guercino's Many Portrayals of Him The Italian artist known as Il Guercino (“squint-eyed”), and sometimes dubbed “the Rembrandt of Southern Europe,” painted numerous versions of the parable of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke. A comparative study of five of these paintings, one of which is on exhibit in the Timken, raises some interesting questions about how the artist may have wanted his portrayal of the parable to relate to viewers given his 16thcentury historical context. Some brief comparisons with “the Northern” Rembrandt’s own version will also be made. Saints and Sinners in Great Art Join Timken Docent and USD Professor of Biblical Studies (ret.)

Robert Dubac’s off-broadway solo hit, The Book of Moron, has been described as one of the most “Hilarious”, “Intelligent” and “Scorching” satirical attacks on idiocracy since Mark Twain. Having been brainwashed by a culture that worships Kardashians over character, delusion over truth and selfies over self-effacement; Dubac begins his journey with one simple question. Who am I? What do I believe? What’s the point? Okay, that’s three questions but suffice to say, he has no answers. Just voices. Inner voices who come to life with precision and wit. One by one they pull him into a hysterical alternative universe of critical thought in search of the bigger picture. It’s a head trip on a banana peel. Robert Dubac’s The Book of Moron makes its appearance at North Coast Rep for one performance only on Tuesday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m. Get tickets here! Tickets priced at $40 For more information, please visit www.northcoastrep.org or call (858) 481-1055.
