Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly
Forty beautiful paintings by James McNeill Whistler, George Inness, and other American artists working around 1900 come together for the first time in an examination the art of painting softly. As Whistler once stated, “Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like breath on the surface of a pane of glass.” The result of this counsel is a body of contemplative and meditative paintings that, like the mist of breath’s condensation on glass, appear on the canvas without evidence of the artist’s hand.

The Mad Pirate and the Mermaid: Part A
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Rose Footprint Theatre, along comes a play that'll have you singing with the fish faster than you can gurgle "Who's Davy Jones and where's his locker?" This summer, the Rose stage is chock-a-block with pirates, lovers, villains, square-rigged ships, identical twins, women of ill-repute, utter foolishness, gun battles, heartbreak, sword fights, three men in a boat, musical numbers, swashbuckling, redemption, and a real, live mermaid! It's all inspired by classical mythology, Renaissance imagination and Shakespeare's Romance plays. Admission. 6:15PM

The Ladies Man
Welcome to the belle époque Paris, when Frenchmen invented savoire faire and mother-in-laws everywhere were suspicious. Set in Paris at the turn of the century, it's about a suave doctor whose young wife and fire-breathing mother-in-law suspect him of infidelity, and who gets deeper into his own soup the more he tries to prove his innocence. The razor fine, saucy language exemplifies how Feydeau's ear for words and eye for situations influenced today's comedy. This convoluted story and whip-smart dialogue show where Noel Coward found his zing and the Marx brothers their zaniness. If you liked last season's Rough Crossing, you'll love this show! Admission. 3PM
