ANTIOCH<\/h4>\n

Do you fancy yourself a king? A queen? A court jester? If so, the new Drama Factory production may be for you. “The Death of Triboulet (A Comedy)” has all that and more.<\/p>\n

The play centers around Triboulet, the court Jester to the king of France, in his own comedy of errors as he tries to save the king from certain death, all the while hoping to save his own life in the process. Auditions are Jan. 17-18 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Nick Rodriguez Theatre in Antioch at 213 F St. Auditions will be held in open-call style. Drama Factory staff will take a photo of each auditioner, who will fill out a couple of papers and briefly read aloud from the script for the director.<\/p>\n

The Drama Factory is seeking 15 adults or teens to fill the roles for this original new play. The rehearsal schedule will be Tuesday through Thursday evenings with performances in March. More information is online at www.dramafactory.org<\/a>. Current proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required for all cast and crew members.<\/p>\n

Bedford Gallery to host Fong’s ‘Sensation of Color’ exhibit<\/h4>\n

The Bedford Gallery will soon present “Erin Fong: The Sensation of Color,” an exhibition that explores how the world\u2019s myriad hues inform day-to-day experiences in subtle, often unconscious ways.<\/p>\n

Through dedicated experimentation, the Bay Area artist and letterpress printer delves into how color affects emotional responses. “The Sensation of Color” will transform the Bedford Gallery into a vibrant lab full of the artist\u2019s prints, paintings and installations. Visitors will be invited to tap into their individual and collective experience as they are immersed in hues across the spectrum, considering how colors make people feel and how they foster human connection.<\/p>\n

This exhibition will feature several immersive installations, including “The Color Corridor,” a 17-foot maze that gradually changes color, allowing viewers to gauge how their feelings and mood change as they journey through it; and “Color Communion,” a large-scale sensory experience that incorporates light and sound components to let visitors further connect with themselves and the colors that surround them. Paintings and prints from Fong\u2019s studio practice will also be highlighted.<\/p>\n

The exhibit will be on view from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday from Jan. 14 through April 2 at the Bedford Gallery inside the Lesher Center for the Arts at 1601 Civic Drive in Walnut Creek. For more information or to purchase tickets ($5 for general admission and free for Bedford Gallery members and children younger than 13), visit bedfordgallery.org<\/a> online. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door.<\/p>\n
