The Paradox Players are seeking actors of all ages to play pirates in this eleven-song operetta by Kiya Heartwood. Production runs in May. Call for appointment or more information.

There are about as many "shared visions" as there are pairs of eyeballs in this miserable world, of course, but this show's title is intended to embody the greater meaning of the phrase and – the important part, here – it titles a collection of artwork by Denise M. Fulton and Sam Yeates. The vision of either of those local artists, and the skill each exerts in rendering that vision visible to the rest of us, is nigh on incredible. And now here are new paintings from both of them, the modern fabulists Fulton and Yeates capturing – via oldschool tech like pigments and brushes, imagine that! – realities (and fantasies) sufficient to fuel immersive dreams for years to come.

"This," says gallery owner Phillip Niemeyer, "is an attempt to take a picture of our time and place by photographing the people in it and of it: a portrait of 100 people of every age – from newborn to the most senior – who live in, work in, grew up in, or nowadays frequent the neighborhood of East Austin around East 12th Street." So the gallery is temporarily functioning as a lounge for people of all ages to hang out, talk, and listen – and as a hub for Northern-Southern's photodocumentary project. Because they're inviting the community to events where a photographer will take pictures; they'll also take field trips to photograph those who can't make it out; and all that's collected will be exhibited at the gallery in June.
