Sheffield Theatres' Artistic Director Daniel Evans today announces the full cast for the forthcoming productions of Shelagh Delaney's seminal work A Taste of Honey in the Crucible Theatre and the world premiere of DC Moore's Straight in the Studio Theatre.
When five men from completely different backgrounds come together to work on a new and extremely controversial show, the production threatens to turn into a spectacular and amusing disaster. As their rehearsal room becomes a demi-battlefield, filled with drama and suspense, the men struggle to keep the production alive. Will one passionate gay director, a heated Arab-Israeli conflict and a confirmed male pregnancy take the production to the next level, or manage to tear everything apart? 'DOGS' will premiere tonight, August 16th, at FringeNYC.
This year, during the 16th Annual New York International Fringe Festival, a new adaptation of the British play ‘Honest' aims to 'reignite the fire that was set off by the 99%, and remind us that there is still a long way until we reach true social justice.'

In the fall of 2001 the Whitney Museum presented an exhibition of Jacob Lawrence's work, including his sixty-panel Migration Series. A class of thirteen-year-old New York City students at The Calhoun School saw the exhibit. Influenced by Lawrence's portrayal of complex events in American history, the students collaboratively tackled the telling of their own recent history-the aftermath of 9/11 as they were experiencing it. This exhibition is the first public presentation of the series of thirty-one collages that they created. Ten years later, this visual narrative remains a moving and insightful testament to the personal and global impact of the World Trade Center attacks.

George Tooker: Reality Returns as a Dream celebrates the life and art of a painter whose powerful imagery and technical mastery made him one of the most acclaimed artists of his generation. For over sixty years, Tooker (1920-2011) has been highly regarded for his luminous and often enigmatic paintings. His themes range from alienation and the dehumanizing aspects of contemporary society to personal meditations on the human condition. Over the course of his long career, he created fewer than 170 paintings, most of which are seldom on public view. As such, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see a select group of works from museums, private collections, and the artist's estate that span his career, from the late 1940s to the 2000s.

DC Moore Gallery is pleased to present Joyce Kozloff: Navigational Triangles from October 2nd to October 30th, 2010. Long before Google Maps or GPS, seafarers used navigational triangles to pinpoint their location and to chart their course in relation to celestial bodies and the earth's poles. This exhibition comprises paintings and mixed media works that expand upon this concept and continue the artist's longstanding engagement with cross-cultural issues.
