Presidential
portraits on display at Carter library
When
one goes to Washington D.C., it is nearly impossible to see every thing
the city has to offer. There are countless museums, landmarks, parks
and memorials to look at and some of these marvelous places will have
to wait until the next trip to the nation's capital. However, residents
of Georgia currently have an opportunity to see some of the works from
one D.C. museum at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum
through May 11.
'Jesus
Christ Superstar' comes to the Fox
When
Skid Row ruled the rock charts with songs like "18 and Life,"
"Youth Gone Wild" and "I Remember You," no one could
have forseen that front man Sebastian Bach would one day earn the respect
of the theatrical community, have roles in Broadway productions of "Jeykyll
and Hyde," and "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and end up
playing Jesus in a touring production of "Jesus Christ Superstar."
That is exactly what happened though and Atlanta audiences can see Bach
as Jesus this week in Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's popular show.
Traveling
"Women of Substance" exhibit features work by local artists,
arts groups
While
fans of fine art can travel to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library
and Museum to see portraits of our presidents, those looking for something
a little more local can take in the "Women of Substance" exhibit
presented by the Southern Crescent Alliance of Visual Artists (SCAVA).
The exhibit, which features over 30 paintings of notable American women,
recently ran at the Coweta County Convention and Visitors Bureau. The
exhibit now moves to the Griffin Gallery - Welcome Center Depot in Spalding
County before traveling to the Fayette County Public Library in May
and the Peachtree City Library in June. It will also run at the Georgia
National Fair for part of October and then will spend the rest of the
year at Chateau Elan in Braselton.
All
hands on the deck, or 'Wood I lie to you?
We
built a deck at our house. Well, actually, my father-in-law and brother-in-law
built the deck with lots of help from Sabine and minimal help from me.
I moved wood, cleaned up the site, held flashlights when it got too
dark and fetched beer. Don't get me wrong, though; that was fine with
me. Being a gofer at a construction site is more my speed anyway.
Southern
Cruisers ride to end sexual assault
The
