It Came from the '70s
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The 1970s were a time of radical change in the field of ceramics. Artists began to grasp clay's potential when it came to Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Land Art, Performance Art, and other movements of the era.

In the wake of the 1960s, artists felt free to use humor for self-expression, shock value, or to serve as a "spoonful of sugar" to deliver a message. While the 1970s are usually seen as a time of wild individual expression, the decade also saw the development of a network of galleries and collectors that would ultimately professionalize the field and develop grudging respect from the fine art world. "It Came From the '70s" features groovy works from the Everson collection that tell these stories.

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Covey Theatre Company

Hosmer Auditorium, Everson Museum
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Big business means big laughs in this delightfully clever lampoon of life on the corporate ladder. A tune-filled comic gem that took Broadway by storm, winning both the Tony Award for Best Musical and a Pulitzer Prize, How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying boasts an exhilarating score by Frank Loesser, including "I Believe in You," "Brotherhood of Man," and "The Company Way."

A satire of big business and all it holds sacred, How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive, tackling such familiar but potent dangers as the aggressively compliant "company man," the office party, backstabbing coworkers, caffeine addiction, and, of course, true love.

   

Preview: What the Moon Saw, or I Only Appear to Be Dead
Syracuse University Drama Department
Danyon Davis, director

Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

A fantastical collage of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales told through a post-9/11 lens, by Stephanie Fleishman. Traveling to Shanghai to celebrate his 200th birthday, Andersen encounters mermaids, a street urchin, a supermodel, teenagers in love, a cabdriver, firemen, and husks of humans who appear as ghouls in this "kaleidoscopic meditation on how we move through calamity" inspired by Andersen's fragile, timeless tales.
