Watching and drawing
Beth Surdut makes an art by paying attention.
Sitting still and observing has given her a chance to create art of some of the wild critters that grace our parts.
“The Art of Paying Attention: Beth Surdut’s Illustrated Nature Stories” is at the Tucson Botanical Gardens through Feb. 28, with an artist’s reception from 5-7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11.
TBG is at 2150 N. Alvernon Way. More information at 326-9686 or tucsonbotanical.org.
Drama comes with plenty of laughs
This weekend, Something Something Theatre opens Amy Herzog’s “4000 Miles” at the Cabaret Theatre at the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave.
The play, a finalist for the 2013 Pulitizer Prize in Drama, is about a young man who has a major loss and turns to his grandmother for solace and support. And what a grandmother: She smokes dope, reveals personal details of her marriages, insults her grandson’s friend. But in the end, she allows him to grieve for his loss. It’s a drama, but wrapped in lots of laughs.
