Friday, April 1 at 7:30 PM THEATRE
Theatre Serenissima
Rick Shelley has been performing shadow puppet theatre in his Reservoir Hill home to appreciative audiences for a number of years. He writes, scores, and narrates plays using a miniature stage, sets, and puppets he created. These are literally fabulous entertainments, which were enhanced by the intimacy of his crowded auditorium/living room. Like Fluid Movement, Theatre Serenissima is reason alone to live in Baltimore.
Given that the audience size is limited to 28 for these performances, his work should lose none of its magic at AVAM. Also showing at 7:30 on April 3, 8, 10, 15 and 17; and at 2 PM on April 9 and 16. $20, make reservations and arrive early for a good seat.

Saturday, April 2 thru April 9 VISUAL
Lotta Art Preview Exhibition
School 33 invites artists to donate a work (in any medium) to be raffled at its fund-raising auction. The fun part of the auction is that each ticket holder selects the work she or he wants in the order that her/his ticket number is selected. (The number of tickets sold is limited to the number of artworks donated.) Even the year Jimbo's number was called very near the end, he was able to get one of his top ten 'picks.' Times vary by day. Free, excluding benefit
