Clybourne Park at the Red Barn
Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play. Clybourne Park is a comedy that explodes in two outrageous acts set fifty years apart. Act One takes place in 1959, as nervous community leaders anxiously try to stop the sale of a home to a black family. Act Two is set in the same house in the present day, as the now predominantly African-American neighborhood battles to hold its ground in the face of gentrification. Directed by Carole MacCartee, this show is sure to make you laugh, cry and shift uncomfortably in your seat. The questions of race and class in America is hit home with an amazing cast of Key Wests finest talents. For tickets to the show visit http://www.redbarntheatre.com/ for show dates, times and tickets. Run is March 25- April 26th, 8pm showtime. There is nothing like experiencing the talent of Key West, while seated in an old historic carriage house, to get the local flavor of our great island. Because of the limited run times tickets will sell out quickly so make sure to think ahead and book your tickets today. For tickets call 302-540-6102 or talk to your concierge, Geri or Rebecca and they can book the tickets for you and point you to a great dinner out. Hope to see you there!
Walk on White
Walk On White started out as a word of mouth social gathering of locals and is now an event for visitors and locals alike. Get dressed in a black gown and don your flip-flops and join in on this fabulous Key West social event where you get to tap into the creative vibe of the island. Numerous artists from the Keys and also from around the world showcase their work on this notorious Thursday. Last month the feature presentation was art from our sister island of Cuba. This regular neighborhood gallery stroll is perhaps the best known among art lovers, held on the island city's White Street from Southard to United streets and onto Truman Avenue and takes place the third Thursday of each month, from 5-8 p.m. The popular evening features exhibitions and receptions at galleries, shops and occasionally other venues. Highlight locations include Harrison Gallery; the quirky and inviting Stone Soup Gallery; and The Studios of Key West, offering regular exhibitions, performances, workshops and studio space in the style of America's leading artist communities. This month's showcase includes the fascinating art of Scott Gruppe, at the Debra Butler Design Studio. Meet Scott and experience his cutting edge work, best described as "poetry in motion." Art lovers who turn off White onto Truman Avenue will find fine art and functional pottery at Honest Works Island Pottery and move onto the multimedia and renegade art at the dynamic Art Space Key West.
