Gypsy the Musical
2020-03-12 19:30 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, (ASCAP) voted its score the best ever written for a Broadway musical.
GYPSY is the ultimate tale of an ambitious stage mother fighting for her daughters’ success… while secretly yearning for her own. Set all across America in the 1920’s and 30’s, when vaudeville was dying and Broadway was born, Arthur Laurents’ landmark musical explores the true love of show business with brass, humor, heart, and a dream.
The celebrated score by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim boasts one glorious hit after hit, including: “Let Me Entertain You,” “Some People “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” and “You Gotta Get A Gimmick“.

Marty Stewart March Show at Tumalo Art Co/
2020-03-06 16:00 - 20:00
The title of Marty Stewart’s March exhibit, “Seeking Beauty”, perfectly describes her new pastel paintings. The show opens March 6, from 4-8pm during Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk at Tumalo Art Co in the Old Mill District.
“The beauty of the natural world has always been the central inspiration for my pastel landscapes” Marty says. “The landscape speaks to me of many things. Rivers speak of travel, ancient trees and mountains of their strength and endurance. The ever-changing sky reminds us of impermanence. Open spaces of solitude…” Marty seeks to convey some of what she experiences through her senses of these aspects of the natural world, through her pastels to the viewer.
During her career as an artist Marty has received many awards, often for the expressive abstraction of her pastel paintings.
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District, open 7 days a week. www.tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.
