This exhibition examines depictions of the American flag through 75 works by a diverse group of artists, beginning during WWI with Childe Hassam’s Italian Day, May 1918 and continuing to the present day, including a textile sculpture commissioned for the show from Maria de Los Angeles. The exhibition includes work in a variety of media by artists including Jasper Johns, Faith Ringgold, Robert Rauschenberg, Shepard Fairey, and Julie Mehretu, and challenges viewers to consider who the American flag truly represents and whether justice is available to all.

For Which It Stands… forms part of America250: The Promise and Paradox, an initiative through which Fairfield University Explores 250 Years of the American Experiment.

“A powerful, fast-moving adaptation of King Lear - a story of family, power, betrayal, and madness that feels more like modern drama than classic Shakespeare.”
The original “Succession” story is about the aging head of the family and what to do with 3 kids who want the kingdom. Adapted to a dynamic 90-minute play with “sword” action.

Please join us to experience presentations by our local cast, including Mark Feltch (Newtown), who stars as King Lear, alongside New Milford’s Vicki Sosbe (Goneril), Erin Shaughnessy (Regan), and Abi Heydenburg (Cordelia) as his daughters. The full cast of 19 talented actors from across the state of Connecticut, include Sam Everett (Danbury), Colin McLoone (Brookfield), Jim Hipp (Sherman), Vincent Christoni (Trumbull), Tom Heydenburg (New Milford), Sean Gorman (Bethel), Todd Santa Maria (Cheshire), Michael Briney (Naugatuck), Thomas Ovitt (New Preston), David Regelmann (Bethel), Tim Heydenburg and Isabelle Bergman (New Milford), Ron Malszka (Bridgewater), Fred Thaler (Cornwall) and Billy Anderson (Bethel).

Jane Farnol, Gaylordsville resident and author of "Shakespeare for Contemporary Theatre", directs this streamlined adaptation that emphasizes action while preserving Shakespeare’s language.
