Writing as an Arts Critic for 11/5/15

Steve Brady and Anne Hering in Bakersfield Mist

1) I think most of you will agree that there's a lot to think about and write about in Bakersfield Mist. If you choose to write that paper, it's due at our next meeting, 11/5.
2) Those of us who were able to get together after the show on Friday evening had a great, wide-ranging discussion. We talked about the play, among other things, and we'll continue that discussion in class on 11/5. Yes, there's still a lot more to say.
3) As some of you know, Anne Hering, who played Maude in Bakersfield Mist, will be coming to our class to answer your questions about her work and theater in general. She can not make it on 11/5, but she will be with us the following week, on 11/12.
4) Speaking of 11/12, that will also be the day that you will be sharing your music selections with the rest of the class. (On the schedule, it says "Show 3," but you are the show!) If you choose to write that paper, it's due that day, too.
5) Even if you choose not to write the paper on music, you can still bring a music selection to class on 11/12 and share it with the rest of us. In fact, if you like, you can bring your music selection to our next class, on 11/5, and share it then. (Again, the paper on music isn't due until 11/12.)
6) Finally, as some of you know, the artist who recently spoke to our class, Casandra Hill, will be showing her work from 5-7 pm on Nov. 12. Unfortunately, that's mostly during our class. However, you can catch the last half hour if you go to it right after our class. It's in the Cornell Fine Arts Building.
