TOR: Blithe Spirit
Oct 31 all-day
TOR: Blithe Spirit @ Main St. Theatre | Conway | South Carolina | United States

    Blithe Spirit is set at the house of writer, Charles Condomine, and his wife, Ruth. One evening, Charles invites local eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to hold a seance at his house. He asks along his friends, Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, intending to gather character inspiration from Madame Arcati for his latest book. Despite initially thinking the seance has been a failure, it soon becomes clear that Madame Arcati has unwittingly brought back Charles’ first wife, Elvira, to haunt him. Once in his house, Elvira is unable to leave and, as she cannot be seen or heard by Ruth, she causes all kinds of mischievous trouble between the married couple. When Elvira u..

      Brookgreen: Lost Bird Project
      Nov 1 @ 9:30 am – 5:00 pm
      Brookgreen: Lost Bird Project @ Brookgreen Gardens | Murrells Inlet | South Carolina | United States

      In the Bleifeld Gallery.

      This traveling exhibit from The Lost Bird Project depicts the Carolina parakeet, the only parrot species native to the southeastern United States, declared extinct in 1939. The sculpture is being displayed in Brookgreen Gardens’ Arboretum until November 3, 2019.

      Todd McGrain, the artist behind The Lost Bird Project, created bronze sculptures of the extinct great auk, Labrador duck, passenger pigeon, heath hen and Carolina parakeet to chronicle humankind’s impact on our changing world. Each sculpture is permanently on display at the location where its species was last seen. The Carolina Parakeet was last observed in the wild in the 1920s near Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park in Okeechobee, FL, where a permanent installation is now on display. Since deploying his original sculptures, McGrain has made other castings that travel for various exhibitions.

      Along with the installation in the Arboretum, the Bleifeld Gallery is displaying smaller bronze castings of the five sculptures plus drawings and photographs related to the project.

      The artist will be at Brookgreen for a discussion on this work on November 2 at 1:00 p.m.
