Set in the lobby of a seedy Time Square hotel early one morning, the characters are the hotel’s gray, withdrawn night clerk and “Erie” Smith, a penny-ante gambler who has spent most of his last fifteen years at the hotel between periods of drunkenness.
Produced by special arrangement with Dramatist’s Play Service, Inc.

Beyond the Depths: Aaron Guinn Senior Thesis Exhibition
Beyond the Depths: Aaron Guinn Senior Thesis Exhibition
Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Clay
Appalachian Center for Craft is pleased to announce it will be holding the Thesis Exhibition, Beyond the Depths, by Aaron Guinn on November 25 – December 8 in the Joe L. Evins Gallery, Mon-Sat., 10AM – 5PM, Sun. 12PM – 5PM. There you will see his ceramic sculptures of coral made from wheel-thrown, handbuilt, and press molded objects fired with layers of vibrant glazes. Like the growing signs of climate change, our coral reefs show loss of coloration and growth due to pollution of harmful non-biodegradable objects and hazardous materials that severely inhibit wildlife. The exhibition’s importance is to showcase nature’s beauty of natural, organic formations and the effects of pollution on our environments by taking more steps in protecting it.

Simply Southern: Cameron Adcock Senior Thesis Exhibition
Simply Southern: Cameron Adcock Senior Thesis Exhibition
Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting
Sometimes people can be funnier than the joke. It seems that you stumble across the weirdest looking person telling a joke and you end up laughing at them rather than the punch line. That is what Cameron Adcock’s latest exhibition, “Simply Southern”, is all about. The exhibit will be located at the Bryan Fine Arts building on the TTU campus on Nov. 30 thru Dec. 11, 8 am thru 10 pm. If you like all things lighthearted and humorous, this show is for you.
The saturated and vivid colors contrasting with the detailed line work is unfathomable. The subjects are unique and eccentric people straight from the imagination of Cameron Adcock herself. Situated in the famous towns and destinations of Tennessee, these comical scenes are wonders to the eye.
