DISNEY THE LITTLE MERMAID
EXPLORATIONS IN NEW MEDIA, by Brian Glaze

GoggleWorks, 201 Washington St, Reading, PA
May 5 thru June 28... goggleworks.org

Brian's work comments on past and present themes concerning
communication, consumerism, and technology. His desire is to
inform the viewer of procedures and substances in our lives, which
may have been overlooked or discarded. This is, in part, due to the
constant bombardment of information through numerous forms
of media; leaving us numb from their unrelenting persistence.

VOICE, by Fumi Amano

GoggleWorks, 201 Washington St, Reading, PA
Saturday, June 10 thru August 27... goggleworks.org

As a Japanese woman living in the United States, Fumi often struggled
with her attempts at communication, since English is not her first
language. As a result, she became very interested in the subject of
communication and her desire for intimacy. As a material with which
to connect to her audience, she has often utilized glass. Glass is a
(very) subtle material. She can see people behind a sheet of clear glass,
people can see her as well, but they cannot touch each other directly.

Avenues Summer 2017

Miller Center for the Arts, RACC, 4 N. 2nd St, Reading, PA
Friday, June 23 @ 3 PM and 7 PM... miller center.racc.edu

Journey "under the sea" to a magical underwater kingdom,
where the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her
ocean home - and her fins - behind and live in the world
above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make
a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's
been seeking. Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most
beloved stories, Disney's The Little Mermaid, Jr., is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.

SIDE SHOW

Genesius Theatre, 153 N. 10th St, Reading, PA
June 23 through July 2... Showtimes at genesiusdifference.org
While the commercially disastrous 1997 Broadway run of Side
Show generated a substantial cult following, the big surprise
for those of us coming to it fresh is that its exotic subject
matter - real-life conjoined twin sisters who became fixtures
on the 1930s' vaudeville circuit - adheres so naturally to the
central theme that drives countless contemporary musicals.

Reading Public Museum, 500 Museum Rd, Reading, PA
Friday, June 30 @ 7 PM thru 10 PM... readingpublicmuseum.org

Sonic Vision, Dark Side of the Moon, The
Wall, Wish You Were Here
