Near the auditorium and on the second floor Community Art Wall, Rod A. Martinez, Beverly Kingsley and Jack Kingsley, all members of the Southwest Photographic Arts Association, will display photographs. Artful landscapes of regional scenery and topography are the subject of Lybrook’s photographs and Mayerik’s oil paintings.

The unique photographs of long-time photography instructor Rod Martinez and the Kingsleys range from scenery to wildlife to people from many different perspectives. The new artwork will be on display through the end of the March, and many of the pieces are for sale by contacting the individual artists. The Commission organizes the quarterly rotating exhibits of original work by local artists to showcase the interesting and exceptional artwork being created by Grand Valley residents.

7:30pm	Mesa Experimental Theater presents DARK PLAY OR STORIES FOR BOYS. WHAT: dark play or stories for boys by Carlos Murillo WHERE: Mesa Experimental Theatre at Moss Performing Arts Center Mesa State College WHEN: Thursday – Saturday, February 11-13 at 7:30 pm ADMISSION: $10 adults, $8 seniors; $5 students; tickets available in advance or at the door INFORMATION: Jessica Cowden (970) 248-1604 (Box Office line) KILL DATE: February 14, 2010 PRESS RELEASE dark play or stories for boys by David Mamet In the age of technology, what happens when the real world and the virtual world collide? This is simply one of the many pointed questions that Carlos Murillo’s scathing new drama, dark play, or stories for boys, poses for its audience. The story centers on Nick, a California college student played by MSC freshman, Andrew Johnsen, as he recalls the cruel Internet hoax he perpetrated as a 14-year-old. When a high school drama teacher introduces him to the concept of “dark play”, Nick turns to the World Wide Web, where he stumbles upon Adam, a 16-year old idealist in search of love, played by Griffen Davis. Armed with “512 megabytes of RAM, 650 megahertz of microprocessing power and a high speed Internet connection”, Nick toys with Adam, and his “innocent hobby” turns into a dangerous obsession as both boys’ lives become irrevocably linked in a not-so-virtual web of lies, sex, and manipulation. Impressive performances are turned in by Johnsen and Davis, as well as supporting cast members, Emily Prock, Claire Schaefer, and David E. Hood II, who play a myriad of characters in and out of Nick’s imagination. dark play is directed by senior Acting/Directing major, Samara Bridwell. Sharp, quick-witted, and unrelenting in its indictment of the more sinister side of today’s youth, this play is sure to leave audiences pondering their own relationships with the World Wide Web… and one another. dark play will be the first student production of 2010 and is showing in the Experimental (a.k.a. Black Box) Theatre February 11-13. All shows start at 7:30 pm, with doors opening at 7:00 pm. Tickets prices are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $5 for students and will be available in advance or at the door. All seating is general admission. For more information contact the Mesa State College Box Office at (970) 248–1604.
