The suppressed history of America’s last slave ship came back to life\, prompting a complex reckoning for Alabamans\, who had largely chosen to neglect or even deny this strange chapter in the harrowing saga of plantation slavery in the American South.

This production of Romeo and Juliet takes place in a world very different from fair Verona. In a futuristic setting in the year 2123\, the rival houses of Capulet and Montague fight to survive and gain control over the territory. In the midst of such chaos and bloodshed is a tender love story that fights against the odds and shows the beauty that can be found in the most unlikely places and situations. It is a play that transcends geography and culture; a story that everyone knows\, and everyone can feel a part of. To fight for what you believe in\, whether right or not\, to die for what you believe in\, and for who you believe in\, is possibly one of the boldest and most intensely moving narratives ever told. \nStarting August 28\, advance tickets will be on Eventbrite (17.85 includes processing fee) or $20 at the door.

An after-dinner event rather than a pot-luck supper\, Sip and Soul will include savory and sweet bites along with wine and other beverages\, and will continue the Soup and Soul tradition of presentations by and conversation with local artists about their work and their creative process. \nThe evening will feature mixed-media artist Patricia Underwood\, who resides in Castleton and is a longtime veteran of RAAC’s Fall Art Tour. Patricia has exhibited nationally and internationally\, at venues including the Corcoran Museum and two solo shows in Warsaw\, Poland in 2007. Her work is included in numerous private collection\, and was recently featured at the Hylton Performing Arts Center at George Mason University. \nThe curator of the George Mason show described Patricia’s work as being “defined by the subtle and sophisticated use of materials and abstract forms to evoke spiritual\, linguistic\, and natural phenomena. A main theme running through all of Underwood’s bodies of work has been the use of her own unique symbols that she developed early in her career. Starting with Japanese kanji\, it built to include unique signs of music and movement\, as well as symbols from ancient caves and rock carvings. Throughout her career\, Underwood has incorporated and developed these symbols into distinct series of artworks with content and imagery that span ideas related to prehistoric signs of life\, lullabies\, the female body image and its representation\, communication and conflict\, and most recently trees and their relationship to humans and climate change.” \nYou can make reservations by following this link to Eventrite.
