One Act Play Festival March 24-26

March 19, 2023 by 2 Comments

Art Enter Cape Charles will be presenting a One Act Play Festival March 24-26. Plays include Thornton Wilder’s “The Happy Journey from Trenton to Camden”, Bruce Kane’s “The Real Problem”, Woody Allen’s “Riverside Drive”, and an original monologue by Wayne Creed, “Stealing Cars”.

The Happy Journey is directed by Chris Cartwright, Pastor of Shore Presbyterian Church. It is a microcosm of the mundane nature of life… and yet… that which is mundane is extremely important. “We are all given but one life to live and how we treat our precious few moments defines who we are and what kind of legacy we will leave.” said Chris.

Tony Korol-Evans directs the Real Problem, and it finally gives voice to some of William Shakespeare’s female characters who rarely get to speak their minds about their true feelings. Five of Shakespeare’s women take center stage and spill some mead about how they really feel about the men Shakespeare wrote for them.

Garney Johnson will be directing and acting in Riverside Drive. In this play, Allen explores the wild, infantile, murderous impulses of the unconscious. Waiting on a park bench by the Hudson River, a self-absorbed screenwriter, Jim Swain, fidgets expecting his mistress, with whom he is planning to break up. 

Wayne Creed will be performing an original monologue Stealing Cars. The piece is adapted from the title story of his upcoming book. “I chose this work because of its character’s depth and nuance. Given the title, Is there still the possibility for love, faith, and redemption? Can a person escape their history? Can they truly find grace?”

The shows are at 7:30 on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th, with a 3:00 matinee on Sunday the 26th.

Local Artist Needs Help Recovering From Fire

November 13, 2022 by 1 Comment

ES Artists Guild Member Guy Shover needs help after a fire destroyed his workshop, as well as his tools and equipment, and many tangible pieces. On September 4th, Guy was curing some molds that afternoon and while in the house, the barn where the workshop was located caught fire and burned to the ground.

“It was a hot fire,” says Guy. “I lost a lifetime of work—it all burned up…The days after the disaster were devastating; I was in total shock, but right away, decided to rebuild; I talked to my clients to advise them that their commissions will have to wait a bit.”

Rebuilding Guy’s shop is urgent, affecting his life, friends, and local Eastern Shore art in general.

Guy Shover has been a resident of the Eastern Shore of VA since 1989. His bronze sculptures and wood carvings vary from whimsical characteristic mice to realistic portrayals of the magnificent wildlife found on the ESVA and beyond. What Guy finds most enjoyable is seeing the abstract forms in nature and manipulating them to create a unique, one-of-a-kind bronze sculpture through the Lost Wax Method. In addition, Guy is a master at transforming forgotten salvaged wood into original carvings. For the past twenty-eight years, Guy has been employed as a Foundry technician and currently as a Master Patineur for William H. Turner and Dave H. Turner at Turner Sculpture Gallery and Foundry in Melfa, VA. 

Right now, Guy is working hard at creating a series of new wooden sculptures, since he lost the molds for his bronzes, and we are happy he will be part of our upcoming Studio Tour. But sometimes, when we are faced with major challenges, we need a little help in life. So right after the fire, Guy’s dear friend Jorge Díaz-Herrera, former president of a small liberal arts college in upstate New York, started a fundraiser to help him rebuild his burned-down workshop and studio in Clam, in the back creeks of Virginia’s beautiful Eastern Shore. To donate, please find GoFundMe link here:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/rebuild-guys-burned-down-workshop-studio?qid=f861dd30070b61516dc693b031dee01c


You can also see and purchase Guy’s newest work at stop #10 (Maurice Spector Studio, 29279 Harborton Road in Pungoteague) during the Guild’s Holiday Studio Tour on November 25 & 26 (10am-5pm) or you can contact him directly at: guyshover3@gmail.com or 757-894-1924.
