THIS WEEK IN ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
|

Homer playwrights, readers and actors will step onstage to present readings of five new plays for three nights next week as part of Pier One’s “Reader Theatre North.” The creators are familiar to local audiences, as most have written plays staged at Pier One or other nearby venues, and have acted and/or danced on Homer stages for years. “Audience feedback is an important part of these readings,” organizer Nancy Chastain said. “We’ll be handing out questionnaires and asking for critiques.” The Kenai Peninsula Orchestra is highlighting its Summer Music Festival with the Latin-flavored Madison String Quartet performance at the annual Champagne, Chocolate and Chopin a la Tutka event. Held the first Sunday of August since 1999, this year’s soiree is August 3 from 6 to 10 p.m. Praised by critics nationwide for its innovative and energetic style, The Madison String Quartet brings an international flavor to the classics. The quartet has carved a niche for itself with Hispanic renditions from both sides of the Atlantic, and blurs the distinction between performer and audience. |
