Rob Lawarre will host an event entitled “Digging Deeper” at the City of Orlando’s pottery studio on March 15 and 16.
While many believe that planning is a great tool for art, imagination and improvisation is necessary. This workshop will help artists to learn how to take their inspiration and put it into physical form.
The events will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday and will cost $125. For more information, visit the City of Orlando’s website.
The John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center will feature the performance Pluto from February 27 through March 23.
In the wake of a local tragedy, single mother Elizabeth Miller and her withdrawn son Bailey try to jump-start their relationship across the breakfast table. But with berserk appliances, shifting astronomy, the talkative new family dog and some noisy, angry forces threatening to invade her kitchen, Elizabeth might not be able to really ‘see’ the person she needs to see most.
Tickets for Pluto will range from $17-22. For more details on the performance, visit Orlando Shakespeare Theatre’s website.
