Graphic Design at SECCA, Geek Girl Rising, and Violinist Kevin Lawrence on Triad Arts Weekend

Today on the show we'll get graphic at the South Eastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem. Their new world class exhibit involving the input of more than 200 artists is Graphic Design: Now in Production. Then, from graphic we get geeky at the Comic Book City Con in Greensboro. Among the many offerings there you'll find a special panel discussion called "Geek Girl Rising”. Eddie Garcia chats it up with organizer Rachel Scott, and Bethany Chafin talks with two time Eisner award winning artist Hope Larson. And we wrap things up with a break from visual arts banter with Bach—Johann Sebastian Bach to be precise. J.S. was arguably the greatest keyboardist of the Baroque, and he often included harpsichord and organ effects in his writing for strings. Bach's Sonatas for solo violin provides an excellent example, and violin virtuoso Mr. Kevin Lawrence is here to share the many steep challenges and awesome rewards hidden in this monumental work Live in Studio A.

Greensboro College Presents Blithe Spirit

Early 20th century English playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, Noel Coward was known for his witty and flamboyant personal style. Time magazine described him as a combination of “cheek and chic, pose and poise”. Coward's Blithe Spirit is a comic play and centers around socialite novelist Charles Condomine who invites a clairvoyant to his home. Her séance backfires badly leaving Charles and his second wife, Ruth, tormented by the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira. Greensboro College actors Josh Belt who plays Charles, Samantha Hight who plays Ruth and Nicole Swofford who plays Elvira bring Blithe Spirit to the Gail Brower Huggins Performance Center on the Greensboro College campus, Wednesday night, October 30th at 7:30 PM. They were joined by Professor of Acting and Voice Jo Hall.
