Well Groomed - Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers
2019-11-20 19:00 | hearn stage, 1102 Third Street, Alexandria, LA, 71301, United States
Join The Arts Council of Central Louisiana on Wednesday, November 20th at 7:00 PM for a screening of Well Groomed. This film is part of the 2019 – 2020 Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. Q & A with the Director Rebecca Stern and Justin Levy (Producer) will follow the screening.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students.
About the film:

Competitive creative dog grooming is the most colorful competition in America. Well Groomed poignantly captures the creative process and traveling with four women at the center of the competition as they enrich their lives through this fascinating intersection of art and animals. Following champion groomers and their gorgeous, vibrant dogs through a year in the life on the technicolor competition circuit, Well Groomed effervescently explores an American not often portrayed in cinema.

From South Carolina to California, New York to Arkansas, the film follows dog groomers from their homes to large-scale dog grooming competitions and showrooms where their communities meet, discuss, and compete with technicolor exuberance. As the film unfolds, we meet Adriane, Nicole, Cat and Angela. Perpetual runner-up, Adriane has an intense drive to prove herself a winner, and is beloved by her competitors for being so kind and friendly. Nicole hopes to connect with people in the grooming community as much as she connects with her dogs at home, while facing the very real challenge of turning her struggling grooming shop into a successful business. Cat is the champion in the show ring but, over the year, must come to terms with competition’s reality as responsibilities outside of the grooming circuit surface. And Angela is the glue that binds the creative grooming industry with her innovative beauty products, extremely adept grooming skills and swagger that comes from constant success. Outside the competition ring, working as professional groomers, they spend their limited spare time away from washing, blow-drying, and fluffing other people’s dogs caring for their own numerous pets and experimenting with new designs on their show dogs, finding creative inspiration in their seemingly mundane surroundings. These women are revolutionizing the age-old question – what is art?

Well Groomed is a vibrant dive in to a colorful subculture of Americana. Director Rebecca Stern has captured a seemingly effortless ride-along experience with artists who are at the top of their craft. Well Groomed is a revealing look at pets, families, friendships and the glory of creativity through a bright prism of color.

WELL GROOMED Trailer from Rebecca Stern on Vimeo.
Southern Circuit is the South’s only tour of filmmakers, providing communities with an interactive way of experiencing independent film. Southern Circuit provides organizations with the opportunity to screen work from emerging filmmakers and some of the medium’s most respected directors.

A Doll's House - Spectral Sisters
2019-11-07 19:30 | hearn stage, 1102 Third Street, Alexandria, LA, 71301, United States
Spectral Sisters is proud to present A Doll’s House!
In 1879, Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House,” became an immediate sensation, telling the story of Nora, a woman married to a domineering husband after being raised by a domineering father. Though their marriage seems happy on the surface, Nora has had to sacrifice her honor and personhood. In 1879, a woman couldn’t vote, couldn’t conduct business without her husband’s permission, and could not refuse her husband’s sexual advances. We’ve set our “A Doll’s House” in 1959, when a woman could vote, but was otherwise still subject to her husband’s control.

A blackmailer threatens to reveal a crime Nora committed to save her husband’s life. Disillusioned by her husband’s response, Nora realizes she has to change her life—to grow up and be a reasonable human being with a mind of her own—or end her life. Her decision shocked audiences in 1879 and will make current audiences think about what it means to be a human being and what it means to love one.
A Doll’s House will be performed Thursday through Saturday from November 7th to November 9th @ 7:30 PM and Sunday, November 10th @ 2:30 PM on the Hearn Stage at the Kress Theatre.
Tickets: General Admission $10.00 ; Teachers & Students $5.00.
