New Day Children's Theatre presents Crazy For You at Harrell Theatre
On stage through November 2 | Details
"The zany rich-boy-meets-hometown-girl romantic comedy tells the story of young New York banker Bobby Child, who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. But Polly takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows – through cunning, razzmatazz, and a hilarious case of mistaken identity – to win Polly’s heart and save the theatre."
Brantley Ellzey – Reflection + Ritual + Refuge at The Galleries at Crosstown Arts
On view through January 25 | Details
"Artist Brantley Ellzey weaves a world where repetition becomes remembrance, where reflection fractures into beauty, and where the quiet, persistent act of making
becomes a form of resistance.
Across media and gesture, Ellzey explores how we survive—by circling back, by touching what’s been lost, by naming what others ignore. Rolling, collecting, documenting, layering— these are his rituals. Some are personal. Some are political. All are acts of reckoning."
