This sparkling comedy takes place in a theatrical boarding house in New York City in the 1930's. The residence is filled with a large collection of aspiring actresses, all living with the hope of being discovered and all waiting for their big break to star in a Bradway play. Originally presented on Broadwayin 1936, the play was later made into a hit movie starring Katherine Hepburn and Lucelle Ball. Braddock Theatre Arts has assembled a large and talented cast to bring this show to life and it promises to be a great production.

A funny on Marcel Duchamp

Street Art At Its Best: Duchamp Was Here January 28, 2012

http://www.woostercollective.com/post/street-art-at-its-best-duchamp-was-here

 

"Historical connections to the state of art during the early 20th Century and how we have become desensitised to art which overtly steals the found object and it becomes recontextualised towards a gallery setting.

It is a state of art which lies in the conceptual process of the viewer, rather than focusing on the technical ability of the artist we are asked to focus not on what the object is, but what it can become when placed in differing circumstances, such as a gallery.

Therefore, the work satirically subverts a state of art which provokes audiences of the past through the use of crude objects and subject matter."
