May 13th The Ugly Rich: A Romance
Reading of a student play by Stephen Mrowiec '13, his senior work in playwriting. In the dark days of the Great Depression, a remote community in northern Florida is rocked by a series of unspeakable crimes. Meanwhile, the remnants of the once-proud Larchmont family gather in their ancestral home for a settling of accounts. Equal parts baroque extravaganza, comic opera, and erotic nightmare, The Ugly Rich offers a bracing, uncompromising portrait of the ultimate in cruelty, corruption, and desire. Sponsored by theTheatre Program.

May 23rd - Aug 11th Facts, Humor, and Fake Fur: Selected Posters of the Guerrilla Girl
At their first appearance in 1985, the Guerrilla Girls were outside the museum, beyond the mainstream, and over the top. Now entered into art history, they are featured in countless art reference texts, on TV and radio, and on the pages of the New York Times and the Nation. This self-proclaimed “bunch of anonymous females who take the names of dead women artists as pseudonyms and appear in public wearing gorilla masks” remains a force for change for women around the world. This exhibition of graphic art from the museum’s Portfolio Compleat 1985–2008 highlights their creative campaigns. Free

May 23rd - Aug 11th Edward Hopper in Vermont
This exhibit assembles for the first time many of Hopper’s 23 known Vermont watercolors and six known drawings, on loan from institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Neuberger Museum of Art at SUNY Purchase, as well as from private collections around the country. Hopper, seen by many as the quintessentially American artist, made regular summer sojourns to the state, and the work he produced as a result is notable, both for his ability to capture an inherent sense of the place that is Vermont, and because it was for the most part produced when he was seeking new locations for inspiration. These particular works, relatively unknown to most and rarely on view—some are being shown for the first time in 50 years—are pure landscapes with few traces of architectural form. Marked by nuances of distinctive color, light, and shadow, they are studies in artistic process, illustrating how Hopper’s vision of Vermont developed between the time of his first visit, in 1927, and his last, in 1938.
