SUMMARY:The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons
DESCRIPTION:For more than 90 years\, Warner Bros. animation has been bringing joy to all ages. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies produced some to the most iconic animated characters – Bugs Bunny\, Porky Pig\, Daffy Duck\, Tweety Bird\, Wile E. Coyote\, Road Runner\, Elmer Fudd\, and more.\nThe classic Warner Bros. short animations were different from any other in that they were made with an adult audience in mind. The funny\, exuberant stories with a breath-taking pace were peppered with sharp satire and references to topical matters and real-life phenomena as well as endless verbal fireworks. Six to seven minutes long\, the cartoons were originally screened in film theatres before the feature film.\nTHE ART OF WARNER BROS. CARTOONS\, an international traveling exhibition\, includes 160 objects and film clips that invite visitors of all ages to explore the history of the legendary Warner animation studio. The exhibition includes production artwork\, including drawings\, paintings\, and transparent celluloids used to create some of Warner Studios’ classic cartoon shorts from their 1930 debut through the early 1960s.\nVisitors explore the elaborate process that went into the making of the classic Warner Bros. cartoons\, considered to be among the finest\, funniest\, and most inventive animated shorts ever made. Vivacious\, colorful and highly animated\, the exhibition traces the development of all of Warner’s cartoon stars and gives a step-by-step breakdown of how animated films are made.\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored  by:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nPurchase Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Witness to History: Selma Photography of Stephen Somerstein
DESCRIPTION:February 26\, 2022 – May 15\, 2022\n\n\nStephen Somerstein (b.1941) \n\nTwo thousand marchers set out March 21 along Route 80\, known as the “Jefferson Davis Highway.” After two failed attempts to complete the march\, President Lyndon B. Johnson dispatched federal and state troops to guard the demonstrators along the way to the state capitol\, 54 miles away. By the time the marchers reached Montgomery\, their number had grown to 25\,000.\n  \nHearing of the events\, 24-year-old student photographer Stephen Somerstein jumped on a bus in New York City and headed to Alabama. He arrived on March 25\, in time for the final march to the state capitol. With five cameras around his neck and only 15 rolls of film\, Somerstein seemed to be everywhere at once documenting this pivotal moment in the civil rights movement. He captured photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other prominent activists such as Rosa Parks\, James Baldwin\, Bayard Rustin\, John Lewis\, and Joan Baez. Somerstein also took poignant portraits of his fellow demonstrators\, as well as the anonymous bystanders who had gathered along the route to observe the civil action in progress.\n  \nThe exhibition explores the historic 1965 Selma to Montgomery\, Alabama\, civil rights march – a turning point in the civil rights movement that led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The exhibition\, guest curated by Farrah Spott\, presents 55 of the black and white photographs taken through the lens of photographer Stephen Somerstein on March 25\, 1965\, accompanied by his commentary of the day’s events.\n  \nIn addition to hosting this national traveling exhibition\, the Upcountry History Museum will include an in-house companion exhibition exploring the reaction and impact of the Selma to Montgomery march on the Upstate\, SC’s civil rights movement.\n

SUMMARY:Pointes\, Pirouettes and Plies: Carolina Ballet Theatre Turns 50
DESCRIPTION:March 12 – July 17\, 2022\nCarolina Ballet Theatre – Raising the Barre in Greenville\nFor more than six centuries\, ballet has graced royal courts and stages across the globe\, and for 50 years\, Greenville’s own Carolina Ballet Theatre has been bringing this timeless performance art to the Upstate.\nFrom that first day in 1972 until now\, CBT has been guided by the prospect of what could be. Its evolutionary\, enlightened and engaging approach has ensured that this powerful performance art remains true to its origins while continuing to push the boundaries of this dynamic dance medium.\nAn artistic vision with hundreds of dancers\, hundreds of hours of training and practicing\, and countless performances have all culminated into a legacy of bringing world-class productions to the Greenville stage.\nThis exhibition celebrates an incredible 50-year journey that has encountered notable high points\, as well as unimaginable setbacks\, but still managing to raise the barre on entertainment excellence\, engaged outreach\, and unity through performance arts.\n  \n  \n
