Gouverneur Kemble Warren


In the years leading up to the Civil War, the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, emerged as a vital training ground for men who built the nation’s infrastructure, played decisive roles in its military campaigns, and took part in its political life. Drawn exclusively from the Portrait Gallery’s collection of daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes, this exhibition features early camera portraits of individuals such as Ulysses S. Grant, George Armstrong Custer, John Pelham, “Stonewall” Jackson and Gouverneur Kemble Warren. The course of these men’s lives and careers was shaped by their education at West Point.

“Duty, Honor, Country” is curated by Ann Shumard, senior curator of photographs.

joe’s dirtie lab. with Sherri Roberts Lumpkin

joe's dirtie lab. is a monthly artist critique seminar in collaboration with Joe's Movement Emporium, Red Dirt, and The Gateway Media Arts Lab. Growing out of Red Dirt's monthly Flex Seminar that uses Liz Lehrman’s Critical Response Process, joe's dirtie lab. is excited to open up this critique to the wider Arts District community.

Each month, an artist will get an in-depth critique of their work-in-progress or a body of work from their peers, collectors, and art lovers. Artists can range from visual artists to fashion designers, filmmakers, writers, graphic artists, performance artists, and more.

The ultimate goal of joe's dirtie lab. is to support the working artist, give critical feedback, and be an honest space for the creative. It’s OK to share messy, rough edges. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good—proceed.

Join us as we welcome Sherri Roberts Lumpkin, a doll-maker, illustrator, and graphic designer whose work focuses on the inner well-being of humans and the link to self-esteem.

Noises Off

Performances: March 8-24; Thu-Sat: 8pm; Sun: 2pm; No show on March 15 or March 21.

By Michael Frayne
Directed by Alex Campbell
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Michael Frayn’s Noises Off takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and — of course — flying sardines!

Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

Noises Off

Performances: March 8-24; Thu-Sat: 8pm; Sun: 2pm; No show on March 15 or March 21.

By Michael Frayne
Directed by Alex Campbell
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Michael Frayn’s Noises Off takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. Brimming with slapstick comedy, Noises Off is a delightful backstage farce, complete with slamming doors, falling trousers, and — of course — flying sardines!

Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
