Art: A Portrait

Acclaimed photographers
Jennie Jones and her assistant,
Stuart Pearl, had the great
privilege of photographing the
Cleveland Museum of Art as it
stands today, an international star
in interior design, art presentation
and preservation with great social
spaces. After a year and a half, the
images were assembled by the
museum staff for a celebratory
publication, The Cleveland
Museum of Art: A Portrait, which
was released in the fall of 2014.
Tonight, you will see the real inside
story of what makes the CMA so
very special. Sponsored by the
Friends of the Library.

Play Reading with Mamai
Theatre Company:
Lady Windemere's Fan
Wednesday, July 6
7 pm
Join Michael Parker of Mamai
Theatre Company to discuss
Lady Windermere's Fan by
Oscar Wilde.
Oscar Wilde fans the flames of
Edwardian social change with his
typical adroitness. Comedy and
manners offer a tongue-lashing,
suspenseful assault on Victorian
values. An attractive stranger
invades the domestic bliss of
Lady & Lord Windermere, and
her past has the potential to
drastically alter their future. Lord
Darlington plays a hand. All bets
hinge on chance, fate, accident ­
and a fan.

Rumplestiltskin is a fast paced,
action filled, rhyming rendition
of the classic tale, following the
Miller as he weaves a web of
lies to convince the King that
his daughter can spin straw into
gold! Enter the outrageously
outspoken and never happy
villain, Rumplestiltskin, whose
preposterous demands create
even more mayhem in the land
of Stiltskin. Top it off with a
famous, ground-breaking mari-
