Name:  Lecture:  Drinking & Depicting the Desert
Date:  June 22, 2018
Time:  6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Description:  Examine the art & water of the Southwest

The Taos Society of Artists (1915-1927) responded to the people and the land of the arid Southwest, both which have been shaped by water, or lack thereof.  First, enjoy a presentation from Dr. Randall Griffin, Professor of Art History at Southern Methodist University, as he explores artwork from the Taos School and examines how artists like SRM’s Oscar Berninghaus captured the beauty of the Southwest desert while also referencing earlier models of art.  Then learn more about the American Southwest and its ongoing relationship with water and conservation efforts with Dustan Compton, Regional Conservation Program Manager at the Tarrant Regional Water District.  Afterwards, participate in an engaging Q&A with both guest speakers.  Free- registration required.

Inspired by Adrienne Shelly’s beloved film, this irresistible new show features original music and lyrics by 6-time Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles.  WAITRESS tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage.  A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start, while her fellow waitresses offer their own recipes for happiness.  But Jenna must summon the strength and courage to rebuild her own life.

Movies are every Thursday this summer starting June 7 through July 14. Movies begin at 7:30 p.m.

Tonight our feature film is You’ve Got Mail (1998) starring Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Parker Posey, Jean Stapleton and Dave Chappelle.  The film tells of Kathleen Kelly, who owns a children’s bookstore in New York.  It is a small but profitable labor of love – until Foxbooks, a mega-chain of super-sized bookstores, begins building across the street.  Joe Fox, an executive with the family-owned firm, is directly responsible for this particular branch.  Kathleen despises Joe and everything he seems to stand for.  The future of her very livelihood is in doubt.  When Kathleen and Joe are not working, they are logged onto their respective computers, where they’ve each met a wonderful friend.  No one else has shared-or is even aware of-their intimate, anonymous electronic conversations that begin with the magic words “you’ve got mail.”

Upcoming films include:
July 5 – Bottle Shock
July 12 – Peter Rabbit (new release)
