Pandora Productions kicks off its 2013-14 season in just nine days with Naked Boys Singing!, the needs-no-explanation (but we will: audiences are gonna LOVE IT) musical originally slated for Pandora's '12-'13 season but postponed due to casting issues. But that didn't dissuade us from making this most requested of all time production - a celebration of the male body yet much, much more - happen as the hottest kickoff ever to start the season.

The Frick Collection is pleased to welcome Tia F. Chapman as its new Deputy Director for External Affairs. Taking up the post on July 15, 2013, Chapman will oversee the Development Department in a wide range of fundraising and outreach initiatives.

Pandora Productions brings down the curtain on its 2012-13 season with a fiercely fun, campy comedy called 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche [swear ;-)]. Set amongst the shenanigans surrounding 'The Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein's' annual quiche breakfast circa Cold War-era 1956, the title alone (!) begs Kentuckiana audiences to see what The New York Times described as 'raw and magnetic dementia destined to attract a cult following.'

This fall and winter, The Frick Collection will be the final venue of an American tour of paintings from the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis, The Hague. This prestigious Dutch museum, which has not lent a large body of works from its holdings in nearly thirty years, is undergoing an extensive two-year renovation that makes this opportunity possible. VERMEER, REMBRANDT, AND HALS: MASTERPIECES OF DUTCH PAINTING FROM MAURITSHUIS will be on view in New York from October 22, 2013, through January 19, 2014. Among the paintings featured are the famous Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer and The Goldfinch by Carel Fabritius, neither of which will have been seen by American audiences in ten years.

Pandora Productions brings down the curtain on its 2012-13 season with 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche beginning this Thursday, June 20, and continuing June 21, 22, 27, 28, 29 @ 7:30 p.m.; June 23 & 30 @ 5:30 p.m.; and Saturday, June 29 @ 2:00 p.m. at The Henry Clay Theatre, 604 S. 3rd St., 3rd Floor, Downtown Louisville.

The story of Adam and Eve is one of the most enduring in the history of art. With its momentous subject-the creation of humankind-and riveting themes of seduction, deceit, punishment, and redemption, it has long captivated the imaginations of countless artists.
