Ava Varszegi Art Opening



Oddfellows Playhouse will be hosting an exhibit of New Works by Ava Varszegi in its Courant Gallery from March 22 – April 26, 2019.

The public is invited to join us for the opening of the show at the Playhouse, 128 Washington Street in Middletown, on Friday, March 22 at 5 pm. This opportunity to meet the artist and view her work precedes opening night of Circophony’s Circus Botanicus at 7 pm that evening.

Ava Varszegi grew up surrounded by the highly creative Middletown community. Her love for visual and performing arts carried over into her fifteen years at the Children’s Circus of Middletown, where she went from being a camper to a teaching artist. She has a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and is now pursuing certificates in Natural Science Illustration and Graphic Design. Ava was a member of the Brown Aerial Arts Society and Juggling Club, and she still unicycles up the Providence hills in her spare time.

Ava recently created the poster art for the Circus Botanicus production at the Playhouse, an original circus-theater piece exploring the comic secret lives of plants. Friends and the public are encouraged to join us for the opening, which will include light refreshments, then stay for the circus performance. Tickets for Circus Botanicus are $15 for adults, $8 for kids and students., or $35 per family.

Oddfellows Playhouse is a non-profit youth theater, founded in 1975, which promotes the growth of young people – in skills, knowledge and self-confidence -  through the performing arts.  For more information, go to www.oddfellows.org, email info@oddfellows.org, or call (860) 347-6143.
