All Tickets: $10. Reservations: 319.535.2030.

The First Street Community Center’s Uptown Theatre is proud to announce The Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Theater’s production of “Animal Facts”

Do you ever wonder what wolves are really howling about? Why geese honk? How elephants communicate?

MVLCT’s spring show Animal Facts is for everyone who thinks we have plenty to learn from the other species who share our planet. It is also a collaboration of at least forty writers, actors, directors, artists, and musicians, age 10 – 60, so you probably know someone who is involved.

Eight short pieces about different animals and their behavior will be punctuated with live music, live art, and interesting facts about these fascinating creatures. Come alone or bring your family – this show is appropriate for young, old and any age in between.

Find out what all the howling is about! MVLCT is now accepting ticket reservations for Animal Facts. No businesses will be selling tickets in advance. Reservations are strongly encouraged.

To Reserve Your Tickets: call 319-535-2030 and leave a voice message stating your name, the date of the show you want to attend, and the number of tickets you want to reserve.

   – Thursday, March 10 at 7:30 PM
   – Friday, March 11 at 7:30 PM
   – Saturday, March 12 at 7:30 PM
   – Sunday, March 13 at 2 PM

Shows are in the Uptown Theatre in the First Street Community Center in Mt. Vernon. All tickets are $10 and the box office opens one hour before the show.

Please arrive early to claim and pay for your reserved tickets. We will also be selling unreserved tickets at the door.

February 24, 2016February 24, 2016Website AdminArts, News

PLEASE SHARE

On Friday the 4th of March please join East End Art for our FIRST FRIDAY Art Exhibit featuring acyrlic landscape painter, Lianne Westcot. Come enjoy light refreshments, meet Lianne and schmooze with other artists.

This exhibit is in the library, adjacent to the gallery, in the First Street Community Center.

Lianne’s formal training includes a degree in Graphic Design from Iowa State University, as well as fine art study of drawing, watermedia, and hand lettering. While a student, her work was selected for the Iowa College Salon and Iowa State Fair Fine Art Exhibition as a Merit Award Recipient.

I love the Midwest countryside and its vignettes and vistas. I am a native Iowan and my parents were trained horticulturalists. Growing up in rural Iowa, the countryside was an important part of life. I find inspiration in the farms, fields, and nature areas of the local countryside.

– Lianne Westcot, acrylic landscape artist.

Lianne shows her Local Landscapes collection in juried art shows, exhibitions, and galleries. Worthy of note is a 30′ x 4′ panorama permanently installed at Cedar Ridge Vineyards (“Seasons of Cedar Ridge“) and three original paintings purchased for the permanent collection of Mercy Hospital, Iowa City.

Once again, please join East End Art and Lianne Westcot for a reception on Friday, March 4th. Light refreshments will be served and her wonderful artwork will be on display.

The reception will be held in the Library, next door to the East End Art Gallery, at the First Street Community Center in Mount Vernon, Iowa.

We hope you can join us for this special event!
