Arts and Entertainment in the Fort
Mysterious women, the art of rock ‘n’ roll, and an urge to dance
are all options this week as Fort Collins dives into the chill of
winter.
The latest play to grace the stages of the Blackbox Theater
explores human fear and the truth behind what is really hiding in
the dark. “The Woman in Black,” a play adopted from the book by
Susan Hill and directed by CSU student Zac Curtis, runs through
this Sunday at the Blackbox Theater in Johnson Hall. Dubbed “the
most brilliantly effective spine chiller you will ever encounter”
by production staff, “The Woman in Black” is another CSU Theater
production that will not disappoint.
Tickets are $4 for students and $7 for non-students, with
performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. and a
Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.
Abounding with memorabilia and hung with talent, the Walnut
Street Gallery currently has on display works by Stanley Mouse.
Mouse has painted four album covers for The Greatful Dead, and also
works for bands such as Jefferson Airplane, Siouxsie and others.
Mouse’s signature skeleton themed works are on display at Walnut
Street Gallery, a haven for entertainment-industry artists and a
home for talents of all kind.
Walnut Street features an eclectic array of art, and always has
a few Dr. Suess prints on its walls. Featured artist Alan White’s
works of “existential realism” are currently on display. White’s
technique of using mixed media and his choice of charming
landscapes bring to light the beauty in simple things. White is a
self-taught artist out of Denver, and brings to Walnut Street
Gallery “order and beauty.”
“With art I choose to express the vision of beauty, for beauty
does for the mind what light does for a painting,” said White on
the gallery’s Web site. Walnut Street Gallery specializes in
displaying the artwork of famous rock artists and has on display
works by Carlos Santana, John Entwisle of The Who, Marty Balin of
Jefferson Airplane, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac and many
others.
If dinner and a movie is getting a little old, why not try
dinner and a play and join the cast of “Footloose” at the Carousel
Dinner Theater through Jan. 20. “Footloose” is a play about the
“dangers” and exciting possibilities of dancing when you know
everybody is watching. Located at 3509 S. Mason, the Carousel
Dinner Theater gives performances and serves dinner starting at 6
p.m. “Footloose” runs Thursday through Saturday and gives lunchtime
performances every Sunday starting at noon. Tickets can be
