Young Frankenstein the Musical by Mel Brooks
- Location: Angus Bailey Auditorium
, UMass Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747
- Cost: $5 students and military, $10 general admission
- Contact: Theatre Company
- Description: SHOWTIMES FOR THE WEEKEND
Thursday, April 28 - 8pm
Friday, April 29 - 8pm
Saturday, April 30 - 2pm* & 8pm
Sunday, May 1 - 4pm
*Understudy show- understudies take the lead roles.
From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway sensation The Producers comes this monster new musical comedy. The comedy genius Mel Brooks adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation - Young Frankenstein!
Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced "Fronk-en-steen"), played by Nathaniel Tarantino, inherits his family's estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked side-kick, Igor (pronounced "Eye-gore"), played by Shayne Furtado, and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), played by Cheyanne Patterson, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. "It's alive!" he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather's. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.
Every bit as relevant to audience members who will remember the original as it will be to newcomers, Young Frankenstein has all the panache of the screen sensation with a little extra theatrical flair added. With such memorable tunes as "The Transylvania Mania," "He Vas My Boyfriend" and "Puttin' On The Ritz," Young Frankenstein is scientifically-proven, monstrously good entertainment!

Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940)
- Location: University Art Gallery
- Cost: Free Admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940)
Date: April 12-April 30, 2016
Location: CVPA Campus Gallery, UMass Dartmouth
Gallery hours: Monday-Saturday 10 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Opening Reception: Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm
We might think that Linda Nochlin's famous 1988 question--Why have there been no great women artists?--is no longer applicable today. Thousands and thousands of girl students attended art academies right after the Civil War to meet growing industrial and cultural demand for illustrators, engravers, printmakers, miniaturists and portrait painters, but only Mary Cassatt and Georgia O'Keefe are part of the art historical canon.
Modernist critics and historians have often dismissed women's representational art because they privilege formalist invention over pictorial illusionism. Because of their focus on the individual fine artist, artistic style and elite patronage, such critics and historians have often ignored the importance of commercial illustration, printmaking, and traditional craft.
UMass Dartmouth's Art History Department and its upperclassmen address this premise in its exhibition, "Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880 - 1940)," which runs from April 12 to April 30.
The exhibition is a collaborative project whereby students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience.
This is the 5th year that art history professors Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum-quality exhibition and publication.
This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities that extend from Providence to Provincetown. The women artists represented in the exhibition are Blanche Lazzell, Lucy L'Engle, Agnes Weinrich, Ethel Mars, Maud Squire, Grace Albee, Eliza D. Gardiner, Jessie Willcox Smith, Frances Gifford, Sarah Eddy, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Mabel Woodward, Alice Barbara Stephens, Blanche Ames Ames and Allen Sisters, among others.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the arts community, including Julie Heller Gallery of Provincetown, Bert Gallery of Providence, Portsmouth Free Public Library, Smith College's Sophia Smith Archive, University of Massachusetts Amherst Archive and Special Collection, Providence Art Club, Providence Athenaeum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and private collectors.
The exhibition, free and open to the public, is held at the College of Visual & Performing Arts, Campus Art Gallery, 285 Old Westport Road (adjacent to parking lot 9) in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
The opening reception is Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm.
