WELCOME


Fellow Fine Arts Patrons:

Welcome to the College of Southern Maryland’s 2017-2018 Fine Arts Season! This year’s fine arts offerings will carry on the tradition of exciting and thought-provoking concerts, plays, recitals, readings, and exhibits by acclaimed regional artists, community performers, and especially our own talented students, faculty, and staff.

The arts describe the human experience and provide an insight into the soul. Whether represented by a jazz concert, a dance recital, a ceramics exhibit, or the current hit musical, the arts engage people and allow them to see the world from different perspectives. This season’s stage offerings include the musical Ragtime, Molière’s The Impostures of Scapin, our fall and spring dance recitals, and several offerings in our popular Children’s Theatre and Cause Theatre series. Musical offerings include performances by all of CSM’s musical ensembles on all three campuses, including the second annual Pops Concert in April at the La Plata Campus, and honors recitals which showcase our talented student musicians. Calvert County residents can enjoy the 13th season of the Ward Virts Concert Series on our Prince Frederick Campus, while St. Mary’s County residents will see the return of the Benny C. Morgan Recital Series for its second season on our Leonardtown Campus. The visual artsfaculty will each be curating a show in the Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery in La Plataduring the year on selected themes, and the year will end with the Annual Juried StudentExhibition. The literary arts will be well represented in the popular Connections Literary Seriesfeaturing renowned authors, poets, other writers, and photography.

Our various artistic events and exhibits are made possible through the generous donations of our community, civic, and business sponsors, and state and local arts councils. As a result, our fine arts admissions are affordable and sometimes even free. I hope you will consider making an impact by becoming a CSM Friend of the Arts general supporter or designate one of our flagship series for your support. (Complete details can be found on page 69 of this brochure.)

As a lover of the visual, performing, and literary arts, I invite you to join me in a celebration of the arts throughout this dynamic 2017-2018 season! I look forward to seeing you on campus!

Sincerely,

Dr. Maureen Murphy President College of Southern Maryland


FOCUS ON THE ARTS


CSM strives to provide entertaining and thought-

provoking arts experiences to both students and visitors.

Every year, the college puts the talent and creativity of its

students on display, as well as that of already-established

and well-known artists and musicians.

From the classroom, to the studio, to the stage, CSM students are the professional artists

and performers of tomorrow. CSM’s arts season mixes these students with the work of

professionals to offer the community a variety of creative expressions.


Speaking About the Connections Literary Series

Experience some of the region’s most talented literary artists through the Connections Literary Series. The series blends a twice-yearly magazine with chances for the community to hear from and meet both established, as well as emerging, local writers. The magazine features poetry, writing, and photography of some of Southern Maryland’s most creative people. Connections was created in 1990 and has since featured National Book Award winners Tim O’Brien and Robert Stone; Pulitzer Prize winning poets Yusef Komunyakaa and Henry Taylor; and Maryland Poets Laureate Lucille Clifton, Michael Glaser, and Stanley Plumly.

Spotlight on Theatre

CSM’s theatre program is not just for students. Community members are invited to audition for productions, often involving collaboration with a number of CSM programs, including music, dance, and visual arts.

CSM’s theatre schedule is as diverse as its cast and crew. The program exposes students to all types of theatre, from full-length shows and a fall musical, to the outdoor Renaissance Festival with plays and music from that historic era.

CSM also offers the Children’s Theatre series, which brings storybook characters to life. Then, there’s Cause Theatre, a program that uses the stage to challenge every audience member to think deeply about social and health issues faced by young and old alike.

Lastly, the La Plata Campus features the popular Chautauqua series, where guest artists portray historical characters.

Tap into Dance

See and learn dance styles from classical ballet to modern hip hop. Our dance program offers performance opportunities such as two dance ensembles and performance in collaboration with theatre and musical productions.

You don’t have to be a credit student to be a part of CSM’s dance program. Southern Maryland is full of talented and experienced dancers, so join us for classes in our continuing education program.

Segue into Music

Just about anyone can find the right tune at CSM. Singers, jazz lovers, or traditional band musicians can all find a place at the college, take classes, join an ensemble, or just learn from private lessons. Music ensembles are open to both students and community members. The college offers groups like the CSM Chorale and Chamber Choir, the Southern Mix Barbershop Chorus, the Solid Brass Jazz Ensemble, and more.

If you would rather sit back and enjoy the music, performances abound at all three CSM campuses! There are ensemble concerts throughout the year, including the Benny C. Morgan Recital Series at the Leonardtown Campus, and the Ward Virts Concert Series brings six concerts to the Prince Frederick Campus.


Envision the Visual Arts

Our students learn from master artists, and the product of their labor is often incredible artwork. We revel in that talent and creativity by sharing it with you! CSM has a number of gallery exhibits each year. The Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery in La Plata is a venue for a variety of media, and every exhibit will feature an artist reception, classroom visit, and demonstration by each regional and national artist displaying his/her work. A juried exhibition of student work is held at the end of each academic year. Student and faculty work is also on display in the Walter Grove II Memorial Art Gallery, where the public can view the best of student assignments as they are completed. The Larry Chappelear Memorial Gallery celebrates the legacy of former professor Larry Chappelear.


CONNECTIONSLITERARY SERIES


Meet established and emerging local writers at the

Connections Literary Series readings. Since 1990, the

series has featured National Book Award winners Tim

O’Brien and Robert Stone; Pulitzer Prize winning poets

Yusef Komunyakaa and Henry Taylor; and Maryland

Poets Laureate Lucille Clifton, Michael Glaser, and

Stanley Plumly.

“ Connections is a program that brings in nationally recognized writers who use their

literary artistry to shake up their audience just a little bit, niggle our conscience, ask

questions about uncomfortable social issues, or touch on difficult (and often unspoken)

human experiences and emotions,”

- Dr. Eileen Abel

CSM Vice President of Academic Affairs


Making ConnectionsThe Connections Literary Series presents an opportunity for people to be inspired through the long-standing tradition of connecting established and emerging authors with the community. CSM’s Neal Dwyer, a languages and literature professor, as well as a coordinator of the series and editor of the literary magazine, explains that this is accomplished not only through the writers who are featured as guest speakers but also through the Connections Literary Magazine, published twice a year.

Connections Literary MagazineConnections, CSM’s regional literary magazine, features poems, stories, artwork, and photography of some of Southern Maryland’s most creative people. Often included in each issue is featured material from visiting writers. Publication readings take place in December and May each year.

For more information about Connections, visit www.csmd.edu/connections or view dozens of videos from past and recent literary events, available on the CSM’s official YouTube channel, CSMDTube.

Shore also wrote and directed Sick City Blues, which premiered at The Connelly Theater as part of the 2014 New York International Fringe Festival. Joseph Verlezza of Theatre Reviews Limited praised Sick City Blues by stating “The plot is clever and complicated…a novelty that rarely exists in today’s bombastic theatre world…It is interesting, intriguing, involved and…appears to be real.” Shore received his MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College.

In summer, 2016, Shore released a play and a novel. Playbill’s news headline states “Off-Broadway’s Holy Moly Uniquely Connected to Real-Life Novel.” Broadwayworld says “The debut and simultaneous release of Holy Moly and A Country for Fibbing, an innovative multi-media experience, marks the first time a play with a correlating novel have been simultaneously released in the United States.”

Poet Tim Seibles

November 10 | 7:30 p.m.

Prince Frederick Campus, Building A, Room 119


For advance tickets, please e-mail your request to [email protected].

Poet Tim Seibles was born and raised in Philadelphia. He approaches themes of racial tension, class conflict, and intimacy from several directions at once in poems with plainspoken yet fast-turning language. In a 2010 statement he shared in From the Fishouse, Seibles states, “I think poetry, if it’s going to be really engaging and engaged, has to be able to come at the issues of our lives from all kinds of angles and all kinds of ways: loudly and quietly, angrily and soothingly, with comedy and with dead seriousness. […] Our lives are worth every risk, every manner of approach.”

Seibles is the author of several collections of poetry, including Body Moves (1988), Hurdy-Gurdy (1992), Hammerlock (1999), Buffalo Head Solos (2004), Fast Animal (2012), which won the Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize and was nominated for a 2012 National Book Award, and One Turn Around the Sun (2016). His work has also been featured in the anthologies In Search of Color Everywhere: A Collection of African American Poetry (1994, edited by E. Ethelbert Miller and Terrance Cummings), Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry (2009, edited by Camille Dungy), and Best American Poetry (2010, edited by Amy Gerstler).

Seibles’ honors include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, as well as an Open Voice Award from the National Writers Voice Project. In 2013, he received the PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Award for poetry.

Seibles is Poet Laureate of Virginia. He teaches at Old Dominion University.

This event is sponsored in part by a grant from the Arts Council of Calvert County and Maryland State Arts Council.

MAIN STAGETHEATRE


From the classroom, to the studio, to the stage, CSM

students are the professional artists and performers

of tomorrow. CSM’s arts season mixes these students

with the work of professionals to offer the community a

variety of creative expressions.

This fall we look at stories that have helped change America. Voice of the Prairie explores

the time when the great little box brought the outside world into our houses. Every night,

families gathered to listen to the great box, as it brought in both great and tragic news.

The first broadcast was a violin solo followed by a scripture reading: Luke, Chapter 2. We

listened when the Titanic sank, and we heard the Hindenburg Disaster, War of the Worlds,

and Einstein talk about his theory.

As the play begins, an old hobo, named Poppy by his avid companion, young Davey Quinn, is telling a tall tale. It is the early 1890s, and itinerant story tellers like Poppy are the voices of the prairie. Years later, Davey is discovered by a radio entrepreneur while he is telling stories about Poppy and Frankie, a blind girl he rescued from a cruel father. Quinn becomes famous on radio as the Voice of the Prairie. Frankie reenters his life and the FCC threatens them all for broadcasting without a license.

At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair... and what it means to live in America.

Ragtime is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com.

to life. What more important time to bring these great

books to life?

My Children! My Africa! deals with a time of oppression and hate that controlled a

population. What an important book at this time!

Amazing Grace is about empowering our daughters in a time when our government, along

with society, is trying to keep women in a place that belongs to a time near prehistoric life.

This play is about hope and empowerment.

Around the World in 8 Plays looks at our past as we explore the myths and folk tales that

have shaped our views.

Amazing Graceby Shay Youngblood Adapted from the book by Mary HoffmanFriday, February 16 | 7 p.m.

Saturday, February 17 | 2 and 7 p.m.



In the words of Ms. Youngblood, “Amazing Grace is about a little girl who loves acting out stories, those told and read to her by her grandmother, as well as ones she reads on her own. She also makes up her own stories, acting out the most exciting parts. When Grace is in her playworld everything to her is real. In her imagination, she becomes the characters: Anansi the Spider, Joan of Arc, Mowgli, Hiawatha. She’s a pirate with a peg leg and a parrot, an explorer, and a theater director of a production of ‘Cinderella’ in which she casts a boy in the title role. Grace’s mother is very practical and hopes that Grace will become a doctor, a lawyer or a professional person given the opportunities she herself didn’t have. Her grandmother, Nana, believes that Grace can be whatever she wants to be. Grace is told by two of her classmates that she can’t be Peter Pan in the school play because she is a girl and because she is black. In the end, Grace shows us that she can indeed do anything she sets her mind to. I selected the West African Anansi story and use traditional storytelling techniques such as songs, rhythm, and repetition to teach Grace and her friends a bit of folk wisdom.”

Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois.


Around the World in 8 PlaysA comedy by Patrick Greene and Jason PizzarelloFriday, March 2 | 7 p.m.

Always quirky, and sometimes bizarre, these eight tales are filled with magic, mystery, and morals.

to consider different perspectives, by highlighting how

attitudes and behaviors can affect experiences and

actions.

Cause Theatre’s touring shows address topics that range from health concerns like

substance abuse, sexual health, and body image to social issues like sexual orientation,

racism, women’s issues, sexual assault, and suicide. The performances are designed to be

informative and thought-provoking, and are often followed by a facilitated discussion.

Auditions and performances are open to the general public. Performances are held at all

three campuses and are also available for touring. Call the Box Office to purchase tickets or

to schedule a tour to your venue.

Saturday, October 14 | 2 p.m.


$5, all seats

This show contains some mature language and may not be suitable for all ages.

No sooner do we leave the womb than we’re bombarded by society’s expectations about gender. If you’re a boy, you’re like this. If you’re a girl, you’re like that. Through scenes and monologues that range from hilarious to heartbreaking, this one-act explores how these expectations affect teens’ daily lives. Whether it’s how they dress, the rules of dating, body image, parental pressures, or a host of other ways, the teens of this flexible ensemble reveal how gender expectations affect them and how they “role.”

Chorus, put on a JazzFest and Barbershop Extravaganza, respectively, each spring. The

festivals feature renowned guest artists as well as the college ensemble and local high

Concert in late April which features a rotation of CSM music ensembles each year,

providing a diverse evening of entertainment for all music lovers. Add to that the annual

Renaissance Festival, with its outdoor musical performers, a main stage play, and fun

activities for the family, and CSM becomes a major center of musical enjoyment for

southern Maryland each spring.”

Un-easment: Recent works by Rachel SchechtmanCurated by Katherine Sifers

September 5 – 28, 2017

Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery Exhibit

Rachel Schechtman’s work explores the body and its associated anxieties through the lens of commonplace material explorations. Through the use of small scale experiments, she is able to uncover the sometimes hidden possibilities and meaning inherent within an object or substance. She most commonly uses materials that change

over time. These elements crystallize, grow, wither, etc. The dynamic behavior of the materials allow her the room to both collaborate with the materials as well as be surprised by them.

Rachel Schechtman is an interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in Washington, DC. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from The George Washington University in 2012. Her mixed media assemblages, installations, and videos investigate issues tied to the body, health, and gender.

Painters Be Like Curated by Yikui Gu

featuring works by Jason Stopa, Adam Lovitz,

and Madeline Seely

October 9 – November 2, 2017


“ It is what it is, ‘cept it ain’t what it used to be That’s news to me, Choose to be free, musically “

-MF Doom

The Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery at the College of Southern Maryland is pleased to present Painters Be Like, a group exhibit featuring the works of Jason Stopa, Adam Lovitz, and Madeline Seely. These three artists are all based in the Mid-Atlantic and are approaching the venerable medium of painting through a range of tactics, both affirming and subverting painting’s long tradition. Their works run the gamut from representation to abstraction, often straddling and blurring the line between both, and incorporates elements of humor, sincerity, and at times a casual indifference. All three are at different career stages and will provide students at the College of Southern Maryland great examples of what their next steps may be.

Expansion: Recent works by Daniel KaufmannCurated by George Bedell

November 14 – December 7, 2017


Expansion is a series of photographic works that explores the relationship between photographs of the American West, the history of the American West, and the popular

romanticized narrative of that history. The images recreate historic photographs of the American West as a means to examine the ways historic, cinematic, and vernacular images have constructed the myth of the West through the creation of a visual language that promotes ideologies inherent to Manifest Destiny and westward expansion.

The final images are digital constructions made from photographs of dirt piles that are a result of present-day urban expansion and new home construction. The photographic works are meant to create a dialogue with their historic counterparts by mimicking the compositional conventions of the originals, such as expansive vistas and sprawling mountain ranges, as a means to reference the expanding archive of photographs of the Western landscape that sustain the illusion of wild, untouched spaces.


Baltimore Clayworks Resident Artists ExhibitionCurated by Lindsay Pichaske

February 5 – March 1, 2018
