"Imitation of Wife" ENCORE performance for the Boulder County AIDS Project

“Gender Illusion Technician” brings her “one-woman” show back, by popular demand, on January 21 & 22, 2011 to benefit the Boulder County AIDS Project.

Gender Illusion Technician, Jeffrey A. Kash (aka “Ms. Eda Bagel”) returns to the Dairy Center for the Arts for two performances of “Imitation of Wife.” Kash splices together film dialogue, show tunes and comedy routines – drawing heavily from sources from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s – to tell the story of Eda Bagel, a repressed housewife with no domestic skills. Kash’s lip-synching is spot-on, with facial expressions used to great comic effect.

The encore performance (which sold out in November, 2010) will benefit the Boulder County AIDS Project (BCAP), helping to fund the agency’s crucial services related to HIV/AIDS relief, educational & advocacy efforts.

WHEN: Friday, January 21 and Saturday, January 22. Show begins at 7:30 pm.

WHERE: Dairy Center for the Arts, 2590 Walnut Street, Boulder, CO

TICKETS: $20 (+ service fees) with proceeds to benefit Boulder County AIDS Project, available at the Dairy Box Office, or by calling (303) 444-7328. Ages 18+.

ABOUT THE DAIRY CENTER

Founded in 1992, The Dairy Center for the Arts is housed within the former Watts-Hardy Dairy, a 42,000-square foot facility that once operated as a dairy storage and processing plant. Converted by individuals who recognized the immediate and growing needs of Boulder County for a premiere arts and performance space, the Dairy Center for the Arts began with only a handful of art-focused organizations, and has since grown into Boulder's largest interdisciplinary civic arts center. Now hosting 15 arts and services organizations, the Dairy Center for the Arts is one of the only places in Boulder, Colorado to experience dramatic theater, live music, dance performances and visual arts all under one roof.

LoLa Images: impermanence. Ethereal beauty at the Dairy's In Focus Gallery

A resident of Boulder since 1971, Lois LaFond is a singer/songwriter and the creator of Lois LaFond & the Rockadiles, the well-known band for Children and their Families since 1984.

For over two years, under the moniker LoLa Images, she has been working with a process of shooting photographs which has resulted in a fascinating series of pictures that are showing at the Dairy Center for the Arts.

impermanence features 26 giclees. The unmanipulated digital images have an unusual sense of musicality which often creates pictures that resemble paintings in their color, contrast and movement. The show hangs in the Dairy’s In Focus Gallery and will run through September 18. In October, LoLa Images will be a featured artist in Open Studios.

Through September 18. Free. Open daily.
