This exhibition will be the first in the United States to include only very recent works of art that come directly from the studios of contemporary artists in India as well as from private collections and galleries in the United States and India. Approximately 50 works by 15 artists have been selected to represent art-making in India today. In addition to paintings and sculptures, a section will be devoted to new media art, including installations and video. The title “New Narratives” refers the continuation of narration as a connective thread that binds contemporary artists to the rich Indian tradition of story-telling. The exhibition will be presented jointly at the Zimmerli Art Museum and the galleries at the Mason Gross School of the Arts.

Rutgers Theater Company presents Stones In His Pockets

Friday, April 25 through Wednesday, April 30
Friday, May 1 through Saturday, May 3
8 p.m.

Sunday, April 27
2 p.m.

Philip J. Levin Theater
Mason Gross Performing Arts Center
85 George Street
New Brunswick

Jake and Charlie, the central characters of Stones In His Pockets, are men of dreams.  Jake has lived his, and Charlie is carrying his around on his hip. They have both been cast as extras in a Hollywood blockbuster being filmed in rural Ireland. Filled with the usual chaos on a movie set and the interactions with the small town where they are filming, this Irish play is witty and charming, with a twist.

The two actors portraying Jake and Charlie, Joseph Tisa and Richie Call, also sporadically perform all the other characters in the play, including the star diva, the Irish farmer, the local hoodlum, and the stressed production manager. Each character has lived a dream, is living a dream, or is hoping to have a dream come true.

Winner of the 2001 Olivier Award, Stones In His Pockets is a play that savvy theater goers will love.  The fast-paced character changes engage the audience, and viewers find themselves dreaming as well.

Tickets are $25 for the general public, $20 for Rutgers alumni and employees and senior citizens, and $15 for students with valid ID.
