It seems like there’s always something happening here. More big events. More new festivals. More of everything. To the point where you’ll wish you had more time.
Birmingham is quickly becoming the go-to festival destination in the Southeast. It’s about music. It’s about art. It’s about film. It’s about food. The festival scene around here is about a lot things, and it’s about time you experienced it for yourself.

[more+]Dr. Dudney is whitening teeth to raise money for seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged children in Alabama and around the world. 100% of the teeth whitening proceeds will go to children’s charities. Fifty percent of the donations will go to local charity “Smile A Mile” that serves the children of Alabama battling cancer. The remaining balance goes to “Smiles for Life Foundation” to be distributed to worthy and approved children’s charities across the U.S., Canada and worldwide. When you pay for your discounted teeth whitening you’ll write a check directly to the Smiles for Life Foundation, not to the dental practice.
Dr. Dudney is a member of the Crown Council, an alliance of leading-edge dental teams that are passionately committed to promoting oral health, fighting oral cancer and serving their local communities through charitable work. Since 1998, Dr. Dudney has participated in this whitening for charity fundraiser and The Smiles for Life Foundation has raised over $40 million, benefiting hundreds of children’s charities.
Dr. Dudney has had a patient-center private practice in Alabaster since 1982 as a general dentist with focus on cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Dudney teaches hands on programs and has presented workshops and lectures at dental meetings and conferences around the world. In addition, he has authored several articles on aesthetic and restorative dentistry. Now is the time to schedule your teeth whitening for a good cause!

[more+]Space One Eleven and the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project present Art on the Inside, an exhibition of work created by those impacted by the system, people who stepped into classroom spaces where they could create stunning works of art despite a profound lack of resources. Their art allows us to connect to one another, to share stories and engage. The exhibition is a reminder that humanity persists in all places, and that we can see it flourish if given the space to grow. As one APAEP student wrote, “Creativity is what makes us truly human, a path to and from our soul.”
Complementing the exhibition will be a panel discussion on the value of educational programming inside prison, the unique academic challenges for students, and the opportunities for the outside community to get involved. Recognizing our shared humanity and the fundamental necessity of education, everywhere, is paramount to creating sustainable social reforms. Panelists will discuss these topics as well as the demonstrable benefits of higher education programs in prison.
The exhibition will be on display through April 30, 2020.

[more+]All Things Bright and Beautiful brings together works primarily from the Museum’s permanent collection that look at themes of power and agency. This exhibition takes its name from a painting by Amy Sherald, whose portraits depict Black sitters with pride, dignity, and joy, representation historically only afforded to white people. Some artists in the exhibition look towards power in other creative endeavors, like music. Others contemplate the hidden potential of everyday objects by transforming them into works of art. Several artists engage the representation of space and architecture–including museum spaces–to discover the dynamics of power. Considered together, these works illustrate the importance of being seen, choosing how to be depicted, and telling one’s own history.

Jackie--or Mrs. Onassis, as she's known in the office--has fallen in love with James's candidly autobiographical novel, one that exposes his own dysfunctional family. But when the book's forthcoming publication threatens to unravel already fragile relationships, both within his family and with his partner, James finds that he can't bring himself to finish the manuscript. Jackie and James develop an unexpected friendship, and she pushes him to write an authentic ending, encouraging him to head home to confront the truth about his relationship with his mother.

Since 1908, thousands have gathered to hear the Word preached in a way that enlivens, confronts, encourages, and clarifies. The emphasis we place at the Advent on preaching “Christ and him crucified” – nothing other than the gospel of God’s love for sinners – is in full focus during Lent.

Her song “Let The Wind Chase You”, recorded by Trisha Yearwood and Keith Urban, received a Grammy nomination for vocal collaboration in 2009. While her writing credits mightily impress, fans and peers are most captivated by her bright spirit and expressive mountain soprano. Dirty Linen says “Barris knows how to write lyrics that are as forthright as a stream of clear water and how to support them with melodies that share that quality”. The Minnesota native has performed Mountain Stage, New Bedford Summer Fest, Wildflower Arts & Music Festival and The Kerrville Folk Festival.

[more+]Whimsical, poignant, and romantic, The Fantasticks focuses on two young lovers, their meddling fathers, and the journey we all must take through adolescence to discover how to truly love. The enigmatic narrator, El Gallo, introduces us to Matt and Luisa, who experience the magical, moonlit phase of falling in love. However, El Gallo leads them from the romantic moonlight into the harsh sunshine, where the weaknesses in their relationship are exposed and the reality of the struggles and heartache love brings is revealed. With the understanding that “without a hurt the heart is hollow,” Matt and Luisa manage to find their own identities, and in turn, to discover their strengths as a couple in times of both darkness and light. With the record for the longest American theatrical run, The Fantasticks is a gem of the American musical theatre, beloved and as timely as it was when it opened over 50 years ago.

[more+]Terrific New Theatre is pairing two plays – a 19th-century literary classic and its modern-day sequel – to be performed in repertory March 5-April 4. Packaged as “The Nora Plays,” the project marks the first time in TNT’s history that the company will stage two plays “in rep,” meaning the productions will perform during the same time frame but on alternating schedules.
Thornton Wilder’s adaptation of A Doll’s House – Henrik Ibsen’s groundbreaking 1879 play about a woman, Nora, who throws tradition out the front door when she walks away from her marriage and her family. Its 2015 sequel, A Doll’s House, Part 2, by Lucas Hnath, brings Nora back home and looks at her situation with modern eyes.
A DOLL'S HOUSE: Opens March 5 through 7
A DOLL'S HOUSE, Part 2: Open March 12 through 15
Then, the two plays run in an alternating fashion until April 4th. (see website for details + a performance calendar)

[more+]Dr. Dudney is whitening teeth to raise money for seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged children in Alabama and around the world. 100% of the teeth whitening proceeds will go to children’s charities. Fifty percent of the donations will go to local charity “Smile A Mile” that serves the children of Alabama battling cancer. The remaining balance goes to “Smiles for Life Foundation” to be distributed to worthy and approved children’s charities across the U.S., Canada and worldwide. When you pay for your discounted teeth whitening you’ll write a check directly to the Smiles for Life Foundation, not to the dental practice.
Dr. Dudney is a member of the Crown Council, an alliance of leading-edge dental teams that are passionately committed to promoting oral health, fighting oral cancer and serving their local communities through charitable work. Since 1998, Dr. Dudney has participated in this whitening for charity fundraiser and The Smiles for Life Foundation has raised over $40 million, benefiting hundreds of children’s charities.
Dr. Dudney has had a patient-center private practice in Alabaster since 1982 as a general dentist with focus on cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Dudney teaches hands on programs and has presented workshops and lectures at dental meetings and conferences around the world. In addition, he has authored several articles on aesthetic and restorative dentistry. Now is the time to schedule your teeth whitening for a good cause!

[more+]Space One Eleven and the Alabama Prison Arts + Education Project present Art on the Inside, an exhibition of work created by those impacted by the system, people who stepped into classroom spaces where they could create stunning works of art despite a profound lack of resources. Their art allows us to connect to one another, to share stories and engage. The exhibition is a reminder that humanity persists in all places, and that we can see it flourish if given the space to grow. As one APAEP student wrote, “Creativity is what makes us truly human, a path to and from our soul.”
Complementing the exhibition will be a panel discussion on the value of educational programming inside prison, the unique academic challenges for students, and the opportunities for the outside community to get involved. Recognizing our shared humanity and the fundamental necessity of education, everywhere, is paramount to creating sustainable social reforms. Panelists will discuss these topics as well as the demonstrable benefits of higher education programs in prison.
The exhibition will be on display through April 30, 2020.

[more+]All Things Bright and Beautiful brings together works primarily from the Museum’s permanent collection that look at themes of power and agency. This exhibition takes its name from a painting by Amy Sherald, whose portraits depict Black sitters with pride, dignity, and joy, representation historically only afforded to white people. Some artists in the exhibition look towards power in other creative endeavors, like music. Others contemplate the hidden potential of everyday objects by transforming them into works of art. Several artists engage the representation of space and architecture–including museum spaces–to discover the dynamics of power. Considered together, these works illustrate the importance of being seen, choosing how to be depicted, and telling one’s own history.

Jackie--or Mrs. Onassis, as she's known in the office--has fallen in love with James's candidly autobiographical novel, one that exposes his own dysfunctional family. But when the book's forthcoming publication threatens to unravel already fragile relationships, both within his family and with his partner, James finds that he can't bring himself to finish the manuscript. Jackie and James develop an unexpected friendship, and she pushes him to write an authentic ending, encouraging him to head home to confront the truth about his relationship with his mother.

Since 1908, thousands have gathered to hear the Word preached in a way that enlivens, confronts, encourages, and clarifies. The emphasis we place at the Advent on preaching “Christ and him crucified” – nothing other than the gospel of God’s love for sinners – is in full focus during Lent.

Her song “Let The Wind Chase You”, recorded by Trisha Yearwood and Keith Urban, received a Grammy nomination for vocal collaboration in 2009. While her writing credits mightily impress, fans and peers are most captivated by her bright spirit and expressive mountain soprano. Dirty Linen says “Barris knows how to write lyrics that are as forthright as a stream of clear water and how to support them with melodies that share that quality”. The Minnesota native has performed Mountain Stage, New Bedford Summer Fest, Wildflower Arts & Music Festival and The Kerrville Folk Festival.

[more+]Whimsical, poignant, and romantic, The Fantasticks focuses on two young lovers, their meddling fathers, and the journey we all must take through adolescence to discover how to truly love. The enigmatic narrator, El Gallo, introduces us to Matt and Luisa, who experience the magical, moonlit phase of falling in love. However, El Gallo leads them from the romantic moonlight into the harsh sunshine, where the weaknesses in their relationship are exposed and the reality of the struggles and heartache love brings is revealed. With the understanding that “without a hurt the heart is hollow,” Matt and Luisa manage to find their own identities, and in turn, to discover their strengths as a couple in times of both darkness and light. With the record for the longest American theatrical run, The Fantasticks is a gem of the American musical theatre, beloved and as timely as it was when it opened over 50 years ago.

[more+]Terrific New Theatre is pairing two plays – a 19th-century literary classic and its modern-day sequel – to be performed in repertory March 5-April 4. Packaged as “The Nora Plays,” the project marks the first time in TNT’s history that the company will stage two plays “in rep,” meaning the productions will perform during the same time frame but on alternating schedules.
Thornton Wilder’s adaptation of A Doll’s House – Henrik Ibsen’s groundbreaking 1879 play about a woman, Nora, who throws tradition out the front door when she walks away from her marriage and her family. Its 2015 sequel, A Doll’s House, Part 2, by Lucas Hnath, brings Nora back home and looks at her situation with modern eyes.
A DOLL'S HOUSE: Opens March 5 through 7
A DOLL'S HOUSE, Part 2: Open March 12 through 15
Then, the two plays run in an alternating fashion until April 4th. (see website for details + a performance calendar)

Boxed paper will be shredded and boxes returned. Protec Recycling will also be on hand to take and recycle your old computers, household electronics, small appliances, and other items. Secure hard drive destruction on-site for $10. Flat-panel monitors and TVs only. For more information contact Heather Cover at (205) 332-6621 or hcover@bham.lib.al.us. This event is a cooperative program of the Homewood Library, Gone For Good, Protec Recycling, and the Kiwanis Club of Homewood-Mountain Brook.
