The first garden was Eden -a setting of flowers and plants for the creation of our world and mankind. Ever since, we have cultivated gardens simply for their beauty or for the sustenance they provide as food. Flowers have served as inspiration for painters and poets from time immemorial. From the mundane to the exquisite, flowers enhance every facet of our lives. Their physical expression may be found in gardens and outdoor parties of every kind, from the humblest to the most elegant 18th-century fête champêtre.
New Line Theatre, 'the bad boy of musical theatre, ' continues its 23rd season of adult, alternative musical theatre with an all-new, re-imagined production of the Pulitzer Prize winning contemporary classic, the iconic rock opera RENT, running through March 29, 2014. And on Tuesday, March 25, at 7:00 p.m., New Line Theatre Off Line presents the first in the new Special Features series, bringing the RENT production and design team to the stage to talk about their work and take questions from you!
If you think you've seen RENT before, you really haven't. The touring companies with adults in the lead roles never really worked for me. They all seemed too old and mature to be portraying what is basically a 'coming of age' story. That's where New Line Theatre's current production really gets it right, and why you have to check it out immediately. A very talented, enthusiastic, and youthful cast brings Jonathan Larson's (book, music and lyrics) work to life in vibrant, intimate fashion that makes you actually care about these characters and their situation. This is a must-see show, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
New Line continues its 23rd season with Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize winning, long-running rock opera RENT. This cheerfully transgressive, 1990s rock/pop riff on the classic story, set in New York City's East Village, is best described in its creator's own words: "In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium." BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Historic Bellamy Mansion Museum of History and Design Arts is excited to launch the First Emerging Artist Show & Sale and Art Celebration, October 2 through November 6, 2014 in its charming mansion in the heart of the downtown historic overlay district. The show will open Thursday, October 2 with a reception at 6:00 p.m. They are seeking submissions of artwork that showcase the beauty of the Bellamy using its history and architecture as inspiration. Artists will create original works, for show and sale, which will hang in the mansion for five weeks as part of a month-long celebration of the visual arts. The celebration will also feature children's art events and art lectures by local professional artists from a variety of mediums, free to the public. 'We have many wonderful, seasoned and professional artists in Wilmington, but there is also so much undiscovered talent here, and this is the perfect opportunity for new and amateur artists to make a statement,' says Toni Radcliffe, chairperson for the event.

Artists may submit Original two-dimensional (2-D) work to include painting, pastel, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital imaging, fiber art, mosaics and mixed media, and three-dimensional (3-D) work.

There is a non-refundable entry fee of $20 for non-students and $10 for part-time or full-time students of an accredited school. Artists will have access to The Mansion any Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or by appointment. As part of Bellamy's mission to give exposure to outstanding, under-known artists, it will offer monetary awards as well as merit, honorable mention, and People's Choice awards. The ballots will be tallied, and awards given at the closing party on November 6. 'We are thrilled to award prizes at our inaugural event,' says Ms. Radcliffe.

They bark incessantly. They nip at your fingers and toes. They growl and bare their teeth. They annoy friends and fellow dog walkers. And sometimes they scare the ones you love.
