Gallery Talk: Breathing Motions: Figure Studies by Arthur B. Davies given by Robin Veder, assistant professor of humanities and art history/visual culture at Penn State Harrisburg.

2008/PG/90 Minutes

Once upon a time, Buck Howard (John Malkovich) spent his days in the limelight. His mind-boggling feats as a mentalist extraordinaire – not to be confused with those of a mere magician - earned him a marquee act in Vegas and 61 appearances on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show. In his own humble opinion, his talents go far beyond simple sleight of hand – he can read minds and hypnotize not just a single soul but an entire room of people! But nowadays, it’s clear to everyone but Buck that his act has lost its luster; he performs in faded community centers and hasn’t sold out a theater in years.
Yet, with a hearty handshake and a trademark “I love this town!,” Buck Howard perseveres, confident in his own celebrity, convinced his comeback is imminent. He just needs a new road manager and personal assistant. As it turns out, recent law school drop-out and unemployed, would-be writer Troy Gable (Colin Hanks) needs a job and a purpose. Working for the pompous, has-been mentalist fills the former requirement, but how it satisfies the latter is questionable, especially to his father (Tom Hanks), who still assumes Troy is in law school. Nonetheless, with the aid of a fiery publicist (Emily Blunt) and a bold stroke of fate, Buck surprisingly lands back into the American consciousness, taking Troy along for the ride of his life.
As the coveted spotlight again shines on the great Buck Howard, Buck becomes the unlikeliest of teachers as Troy learns a few tricks he couldn’t possibly have picked up in law school.

Tickets are $8*, $6* Students & Seniors
*includes a box office fee

“My Name is Pablo Picasso” was written by Australian playwright Mary Gage and features Boalsburg resident M. P. Bernosky in a tour de force performance. State College actor-director-writer Elaine Meder-Wilgus directs the production.
The play is a fascinating exploration of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. It depicts Picasso at the moment when he was about to invent cubism. He was troubled that all his fellow artists hated his new style of painting, yet he lived long enough to be seen as a great genius and become fabulously wealthy.
The play premiered at the Adelaide and Perth Festivals and was then produced in every state of Australia. It was published in honor of the production at the National Art Gallery in Canberra. Gage, who emigrated to Western Australia from England, was flown to the United States by Penn State to teach drama in 1987.
This play contains adult language and nudity.

Tickets are $14, $12 for Students and Seniors
