In This Place

Written and directed by Ain Gordon

Video by Joan Brannon

A collaboration between LexArts, Ain Gordon, Joan Brannon and Pick Up Performance CoS. (PUPCS).

May 22 - 24, 2008

In This Place, a one-woman play starring Michelle Hurst is about the history of the Oldham House, built by Samuel Oldham, the first free African-American to build his own home and own property in Lexington, 245 South Limestone.  Preliminary work began on this project in the fall of 2004 with Gordon’s first research trip followed by subsequent trips in January and March of 2005 and several monthly trips since then.  From these trips he selected possible sites and began planning his collaboration with Lexington-based filmmaker, Joan Brannon, who has created the projected images for the stage and a documentary on the making of this project.

Gordon has researched forgotten histories to evoke the multiplicity of Lexington’s past. “I love history and people more than plot,” says Ain Gordon.  “How can I re-imagine and re-engineer the relationship between fiction and fact?  This is the question of my recent work.”

Moonlight and Magnolias

by Ron Hutchinson

April 16 - May 11

1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel. The screenplay, you see, just doesn’t work. So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film’s stars, gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

All the Great Books (Abridged)

by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor

May 15 - June 1

Satire, slapstick comedy and irreverence join forces for a roller-coaster ride of fast-paced comedy. From Alice in Wonderland to War and Peace, All the Great Books (Abridged) condenses literature's heavy-hitters into an evening of hilarity. Bob Singleton (The Mousetrap, Wit, A Christmas Story) returns to direct this production, which he describes as "funnier than Cliff's Notes... much funnier!"

$14 Adults, $10 Students/Children
