Exciting Evening of Art and Musical Comedy Coming to Oxford!

Oxford, get ready for a delightful evening filled with creativity and laughter! The Yoknapatawpha Arts Council is gearing up to host the much-anticipated Spring Salon Art Show reception on Friday, April 11. Expect a warm welcome at the Powerhouse from 5:30 to 7 p.m. where art lovers can mingle while sipping light refreshments and soaking in some breathtaking artwork.

This year’s Spring Salon is special as it showcases talented local artists like Ellie McLellan, Sandra McLaughlin, and Alba Rocio Harrelson. Each of these artists put their heart and soul into their creations and applied a year in advance to be selected for this event by a dedicated committee. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see unique pieces that blend various styles and techniques.

Among the featured artists, Sandra McLaughlin has her work described as a delightful fusion of folk and realistic art, which makes for an engaging experience. She truly appreciates the harmony of combining art with theater on the same night, enriching the cultural scene in Oxford.

As the art reception wraps up, attendees are encouraged to stick around for a thrilling night at the theater, as Theatre Oxford presents the musical-comedy “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” starting at 7:30 p.m.. This fun-filled production promises to captivate audiences with its unique structure of 20 interconnected vignettes that delve into various romantic relationships – mostly focusing on heterosexual interactions.

The musical’s production is in the capable hands of director René Pulliam, who has an impressive background as the former head of the BFA program in musical theatre at the local university. Meanwhile, the musical direction is deftly handled by Justin Wadkins, a graduate instructor and PhD student in music, ensuring a wonderful auditory experience for all attendees.

Ticket prices for this delightful theater experience range from $15 to $25, with special pricing for students and seniors at $18. So why not treat yourself to a night of art followed by a fantastic show? It’s a great way to support local talent and indulge in the arts!

The goal of hosting both the art reception and the musical production on the same evening is to foster a more supportive audience for both visual and performing arts simultaneously. The hope is that art lovers who might not usually consider attending a theatrical performance will give it a shot, and vice versa. What better way to create a vibrant art community than by encouraging crossover between art enthusiasts and theater fans?

For students and locals like Ashley Charles, a junior fine arts major and photographer for Theatre Oxford, this unique pairing is an opportunity to showcase talented artists and performers more widely. There’s a shared belief that evenings like this can encourage more members of the community to engage in and support the local arts scene.

As the night unfolds, both events will highlight the incredible talents of local artists while offering audiences an engaging and multi-faceted experience. So, mark your calendars for April 11 and join in on the excitement as Oxford welcomes a splendid evening of art and theater!
