Works by Sue Coe
Through March 11, 2009
Opening reception: Thursday, January 22, 5-7pm
Terms such as “graphic witness” and “visual journalist” aptly describe Sue Coe. She travels in the footsteps of artists such as Francisco de Goya and K the Kollwitz, plunging into the depths of humanity’s darker side and addressing our propensity for cruelty and oppression. Her visceral and expressionistic works address issues that permeate our society, but are often overlooked or dismissed as legitimate subject matter for a contemporary art world. Taking on subjects of war, rape, animal cruelty and mass slaughter has placed Coe in the forefront of political action through art and creating social and personal awareness of our humanity. |
 THE THREEPENNY OPERA
Book and Lyrics by Bertolt Brecht
Music by Kurt Weill
Directed by Jeffrey Lentz
February 20, 21, 26, 27, 28 at 8 p.m.
February 22 at 2:30 p.m.
“First you must feed us, then talk right
and wrong!” Welcome to the deliciously
sinister world of cutthroat gangster Mack the Knife. Brecht’s ingenious satire on
bourgeois society probes the inhumanity
of man against a seductive, jazz-infused
musical score by Kurt Weill. Set in
Victorian London, but as fresh today
as when it was first performed in Berlin
in 1928, this epic “opera for beggars” is
sure to titillate and provoke our seasoned
audiences. For Mature Audiences Only.
“Oh the shark has, pretty teeth, dear...”
