La Galleria: Mike Gorman’s Fishing for Paradise
Multi-Media Installation deconstructing the creative process of playwright Mike Gorman
The exhibition takes one on a dramatic journey of discovery through the playwright’s world as he unearths the layers of the production history of his epic cycle of plays that plumb the depths of addiction and recovery in the commercial fishing industry. This exhibit is in conjunction with If Colorado Had An Ocean presented in our First Floor Theatre.
Featuring: text, video and testimonials by Mike Gorman, painting and sculpture by Gregory De La Haba, graphic art by Bob Demetrius, installation art by Marguerite White and set models and elements by Donald Eastman. December 12-13 & 19-20: Live performances of three dramatic monologues from the trilogy, with musical accompaniment.
