Sierra Rep staging The Fantasticks“The Fantasticks,” a quintessential celebration of love in all its gorgeous simplicity and heartbreaking complexities is opening at Sierra Rep. Beloved by theatergoers for 50 years, “The Fantasticks” is a musical allegory about the romance of a young couple, Matt and Luisa, who find their relationship tested by their meddling fathers and a bandit narrator known as El Gallo. Little do these love-birds know, however, that their fathers are actually good friends who've hatched a plan — with the help of a mystical roving side-show and it’s equally mysterious ring master — to get these two lovers down the aisle! “The Fantasticks” has a classic score by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt that includes “Try to Remember” and “Soon its Gonna Rain.”May 11, 2017

New exhibition for CarnegieThe Carnegie Arts Center is presenting the exhibition “Inspired Abstraction: Works by Katherine Crinklaw, Sharon Maney LoManto and Nic Webber” in the Lobby Galleries from through July 23, 2017. The exhibition, which opened Wednesday, brings together three artists from the Central Valley who use abstraction in individualistic ways. Modesto’s Sharon Maney LoManto’s recent works, many executed on metal and using industrial paints, represent abstract concepts using metallic colors and hard edges; these non-objective works are understood completely through their use of the basic elements of form, color and balance.May 4, 2017
