EDGE OF DREAMS ARTISTS’ TALK THURSDAY, Oct 3, 6-8 pm Natasha Dikareva and Lyca Blume thread the needle of their immense imaginations with a unique and surprising application of their chosen mediums. Dreams and the unconscious weave through each artist's drawings and paintings: Natasha’s small and large ceramic pieces with her expert drawing and detailed painting as well as Lyca’s free-form renderings with gold leaf on limewashed canvases. Natasha and Lyca have in common the well of their thematic raw material, while their choices in manifesting and creating each of their works is extremely individual and intriguing. Join us at Three Stones Gallery to see their work and hear them speak.

Nearly a half-century after Paddy Chayefsky’s chillingly prescient, Oscar-winning black comedy Network became a cinematic classic, Lee Hall’s potent and provocative new stage adaptation remains as relevant as ever as we grapple with truth, authenticity, and the search for meaning in a digital age. Veteran news anchor Howard Beale isn’t pulling in the viewers. But when his on-air meltdown sparks a revolution, Howard suddenly becomes the biggest thing on TV – a ”mad prophet of the airwaves” determined to speak truth to power, but buffeted by industrial, political and economic forces with ultimately dire consequences.
