How do you say goodbye to a loved one you wished you knew better? If you are lucky enough to find their Dungeons and Dragons adventure book, then the answer is that you go on a quest. That is the plot of "She Kills Monsters" which will be featured in a five-show run at the Barrow-Civic Little Theatre this week. Set in 1995, "She Kills Monsters" tells the story of Agnes Evans (played by Madison Zimmer), an average woman who embarks on a journey to better understand her sister, Tilly (played by Aster Boswell), who died in a crash along with their parents. When Agnes finds Tilly’s D&D notebook with a module Tilly had written, however, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge. Through the imaginary game world, Agnes meets Chuck and Great Mage Steve (both played by Andrew Ritsig), Lilth (played by Kachina Earhart), Kaliope (played by Alyssa Carpinello) and Orcus (played by Tristian Cornmesser). It is a humorous and sometimes emotional journey through the topics of regret, grief, acceptance, inclusion and forgiveness. And there is a kickass fight scene that may just bring a few tears to your eyes. Also included in the cast are Glenn Jones as Miles, Libby Best as Vera, Chelsea Armstrong as Evil Gabbi, Carly Over as Evil Tina and Farrah and Dawn Polito as the Narrator. The show opens at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Additional shows will be done at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, as well as 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online, by calling the box office at 814-437-3440 or at the door if tickets remain. The show is rated MA due to adult language. |

The little hole-in-ground gallery that has housed some of Oil City's finest art shows over the last decade or more is no more. The basement space, known as the Graffiti Gallery, parted ways with the National Transit building last fall when the rent was increased and found new digs a stone's throw away down Seneca Street. The new space gives the Graffiti Gallery committee and the Oil City Arts Council a street-level walk-in level year-round space to serve the Oil City Arts scene. This weekend they kick off their 2024 art show season with its annual photography show. This year the committee is trying to up their art street-cred by holding juried art shows again. This year Kris Risto, an Erie-based artist who is well-versed in sculpture, photography and painting was tasked with picking out award winners for the show opening at 6 p.m. tonight (March 8). The show will run for roughly a month with two big events planned. A St. Patrick's Day party in the gallery with some Celtic music on March 17 from noon to 4 p.m. and a guest lecturer, Patti Larson of the Photographic Arts Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania, will discuss the photography experience and how artificial intelligence has been and will effect photography. The Gallery is located at 228 Seneca Street. The hours the show will be available for viewing are Friday, March 8 (opening reception) from 6-9 p.m.
The gallery space is also available to rent for parties, meetings etc. Connect with the Oil City Arts Council for more information. |
