THE OPALESCENT WORLD OF SHAKESPEARE’S TWELFTH NIGHT
Discover the joys of one of Shakespeare’s most successful comedies, Twelfth Night, or What You Will. The only play with two tantalizing titles suggests the important role an audience takes in the production. Learn how to be a good audience for this most “opalescent” play. In five sessions we will explore the theatrical qualities that have made this play a playable delight since February 2, 1601 right up through the Guthrie’s last live performance this past year.

Shakespeare Returns to the Arts Consortium of Carver County’s Art Center
Hamlet is the play. The 4-week class will meet on Tuesday mornings. The tragedy is the core of the class, but, as an introduction, it includes a capsulized history of drama and the worldview as the Middle Ages tumbled into the Renaissance. And, of course, we explore the life of William Shakespeare: the man, the playwright, the poet and the culture of the Elizabethan Era.
Contributing to the depth of the study, two local scholars will be guest speakers – Walter Canon, PhD in Shakespeare and Joyce Sutphen, PhD in the Renaissance.

More News to Share with You Holiday Gift Show was a Great Success
Our first annual Holiday Gift Show at the Arts Center has been very successful. Many people purchased one of a kind artwork, books by local authors, and the Carver County Christmas CD. Many who had never been to the Arts Center came to see the show and were impressed and amazed by this new hidden gem in Victoria they discovered. Many found us because the Chanhassen Villager did a feature article on the Holiday Show. We continue to grow and have a positive presence in the community. Although the Holiday Show ended in December, we will continue to have a retail shop with a great variety of artwork, books and CD’s for sale. Thank you to our artists and to our friends who came to show your support of the local arts community.
Audience Enjoyed Writers Read the Holidays
Eight writers participated in “Writers Read the Holidays” on December 13. It was a delightful evening, with about 25 people in attendance. They enjoyed the variety of works read, including poetry and prose, that sometimes provoked laughter and sometimes brought tears. Several attendees purchased gifts of books and other items at the Holiday Gift Show. They enjoyed cookies, cider, and conversation to wrap up the holiday presentation.
Traveled Ground and Jenn Bostic House Concert, sponsored by ACCC at Charlson Meadows was Sold Out!
The crowd was at maximum capacity at Charlson Meadows on Dec. 15 when Traveled Ground band with Clark Machtemes and singer Jenn Bostic wowed the crowd with the musical range and technical beauty of their music. The attendees loved the concert, and felt Jenn Bostic well deserved her award as International Touring Artist of the year by the BCMA (British Country Music Association) award and they understood why she has been nominated for both International Song of the Year and International Album of the Year. Thank you to all who joined us that evening.

The ACCC’s first class in the new Art Center in Victoria just ended. The syllabus was completed; the students were enthusiastically engaged; and we were honored to have guest speakers, Poet Laurate, Dr. Joyce Sutphen and Dr. Walter Cannon. Their professional areas of expertise – the Renaissance and Shakespeare, respectively!
The final class was a “field trip” to Barb’s house for a potluck brunch, Zeffirelli’s movie, Romeo & Juliet and the following written testimonials: “A casual approach to what can be intimidating.” “Fantastic way to learn.” “Awesome and enriching, worthwhile!”
Classroom – art & community. Appreciation, sharing perspectives, research and laughter. “Parting is such sweet sorrow.”
Thanks, Barb Hone
