The environment is the subject
As part of its series of exhibitions related to the environment, the Baltimore Life Gallery's current three-artist show features the work of photographer Marion Warren. His "Chesapeake Bay Bridge," shown here, is one of his works on the bay region from his nearly 60-year career. Also represented in the show are Bart Walter, who specializes in sculptures of animals, and George Goebel, whose landscapes reflect the Patapsco River valley. A part of the proceeds from exhibit-related sales will go to the Irvine Natural Science Center at St. Timothy's School in Stevenson. The show runs through March 31 at the Baltimore Life Gallery, 11075 Red Run Boulevard, Owings Mills. For information, call (410) 581-6600, Ext. 4797. "Lydie Breeze," part of John Guare's trilogy about life in 19th-century New England, opens Thursday at AXIS Theatre, 3600 Clipper Mill Road. A 1982 script by the author of "Six Degrees of Separation," "Lydie Breeze" takes place on the island of Nantucket, where the grown son of a former island commune member returns to confront his father's killer.
Directed by Gina Braden, AXIS' production features Amy Brennan in the title role. Curtain times are 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays, through March 26. Tickets are $11 and $13, except for Thursday's opening, which is $18, and two pay-what-you-can previews, scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. "Lydie Breeze" replaces "Dead Mother, Or Shirley Not in Vain," which has been postponed until next season. For more information, call (410) 243-5237.
J. Wynn Rousuck You may love Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire" or you may hate it, but you will never forget it. This almost impossibly difficult 1912 masterpiece fairly drips with moonlight and with blood, and it changed the music world as irrevocably as Joyce's "Ulysses" changed the world of literature. It will be performed tonight at 7:30 in the Towson State University concert hall by the Towson Chamber Players and soprano Ruth Drucker. The concert hall is located in TSU's Fine Arts Center at the intersection of Osler and Cross Campus drives. Tickets are free, and additional information can be obtained by calling (410) 830-2796.
