Theater Thursdays: “All My Sons”
December 9th, 2010 by WLOY Staff
This season, the Everyman Theatre is celebrating its 20th year – and they’re doing it with productions of some phenomenal shows! Now playing at the Everyman Theatre is the Tony award-winning production, All My Sons, written by Arthur Miller and directed by Vincent Lancisi.
The play follows the story of Joe Keller as he attempts to achieve the American dream in a post-WWII era. During such an unsettling time, Joe’s family crumbles under the chaos that follows a shocking announcement: Chris, Joe’s older brother, plans on marrying his missing-in-action brother’s fiancee. At this, a mother must confront the denial of her missing son and a father must reconcile his choices.
High praise has been given for this production. The Baltimore Sun reviewed the play, saying that the production “reminds you why you love theater, reconfirms what an involving and haunting art form it is – and how a first-rate company can make it doubly so.”

WLOY Movie Night presents The Dark Side of Oz
December 8th, 2010 by WLOY Staff
This Thursday Dec 10 WLOY is hosting its last Coffeehouse movie night of the year! Come to the Reading Room at 9pm to watch The Wizard of Oz like you’ve never seen before!
We’re showing The Dark Side of Oz, which refers to the auditory pairing of 1973 Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon with the visual portion of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Once paired at the end of the MGM lion’s third roar, the album and the film appear to correspond with one another, creating one overall “trippy” experience!
It’s your last chance to relax before the onslaught of finals, so come and let WLOY provide the popcorn and the entertainment.

A peacemaker, political activist, and voice of a generation, Lennon will be forever remembered for changing music.

Museum Monday: “Out of This World”
December 6th, 2010 by WLOY Staff
With the holiday season around us, there is sure to be a bit more baking going around town. You put so much work into those baked goods, sometimes it feels
like you’re making your great and artful masterpiece, don’t you? While he didn’t bake his art, 20th century artist and baker Eugene Von Bruenchenhein would likely agree.
Baker by trade and self-taught Wisconsin artist, Bruenchenhein made his first paintings on box panels he brought home from the bakery. While not particularly successful during his lifetime, he still produced thousands of paintings, sculptures and photographs. Now, 27 years after his death, the American Visionary Art Museum, along with two other museums, is celebrating the centenary of his Bruenchenhein’s birth by having a solo exhibit of his works.
