While early furniture forms and styles from these areas were similar during the late 17th through the early 19th centuries, the interpretation and the popularity of designs varied due to differences in local economies, trade settlement patterns, and the religious and cultural backgrounds of the inhabitants. A section on painted furniture further demonstrates regional styles and decorative influences. |

Lincoln: the Constitution, and the Civil War "Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War," a national traveling exhibition which focuses on Abraham Lincoln's struggle to meet the constitutional challenges of the Civil War, opens at the James City County Library on May 6, 2011 and runs through June 29, 2011. The exhibition vividly evokes Lincoln's struggle to resolve the basic questions that divided Americans at the most perilous moment in the nation's history: Was the United States truly one nation, or was it a confederacy of sovereign and separate states? How could a country founded on the belief that "all men are created equal" tolerate slavery? In a national crisis, would civil liberties be secure? This exhibition was organized by the National Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. The traveling exhibition has been made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. "Lincoln: the Constitution and the Civil War" is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center. The exhibit will also appear at Thomas Nelson Community College, Newport News, VA through May 4, 2012. |

"Private Eyes" Panglossian Productions and the Williamsburg Regional Library present a new production of Private Eyes, a poignant and thought-provoking comedy for mature audiences from the award-winning American playwright Steven Dietz. The play, which originally premiered at the Arizona Theatre Company and was presented at the Humana Festival of New American Plays, explores truth and deception in romantic relationships by constantly shifting the characters’ and the audience’s understanding of what’s really going on. Are we in a play? A rehearsal for a play? Real life? Or a character’s mind? The author describes Private Eyes as a “comedy of suspicion,” which began as "a scene in which two lovers fail to speak the truth. And, like a lie, the play grew. It began to go to greater and greater lengths to keep its own deceit afloat. It took my sense of structure for a ride and built a web of such complexity that clarity (a/k/a 'truth') was rendered virtually impossible." Performances at the Williamsburg Library Theatre, 515 Scotland St., May 10, 11, 12, 17 & 18 at 7:30 p.m. and May 20 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are available at www.panglossian.org, by calling 757.259.4070, and in person at the Williamsburg Regional Library. |

"Private Eyes" Panglossian Productions and the Williamsburg Regional Library present a new production of Private Eyes, a poignant and thought-provoking comedy for mature audiences from the award-winning American playwright Steven Dietz. The play, which originally premiered at the Arizona Theatre Company and was presented at the Humana Festival of New American Plays, explores truth and deception in romantic relationships by constantly shifting the characters’ and the audience’s understanding of what’s really going on. Are we in a play? A rehearsal for a play? Real life? Or a character’s mind? The author describes Private Eyes as a “comedy of suspicion,” which began as "a scene in which two lovers fail to speak the truth. And, like a lie, the play grew. It began to go to greater and greater lengths to keep its own deceit afloat. It took my sense of structure for a ride and built a web of such complexity that clarity (a/k/a 'truth') was rendered virtually impossible." Performances at the Williamsburg Library Theatre, 515 Scotland St., May 10, 11, 12, 17 & 18 at 7:30 p.m. and May 20 at 2:00 pm. Tickets are available at www.panglossian.org, by calling 757.259.4070, and in person at the Williamsburg Regional Library. |

Dinosaurs! Stomping, roaring, robotic dinosaurs come alive at the Virginia Living Museum with an all-new exciting exhibit of land, sea and air creatures from Kokoro, the inventor of robotic dinosaurs. Tremble at a growling T-Rex. Then watch a Corythosaurus mother tend her brood. There’s even a nestful of eggs ready to hatch. See favorites: Triceratops and Stegosaurus, plus two marine reptiles: Mosasaurus and the long-necked Elasmosaurus. Soaring above is the bird-like Pteranodon. Kokoro’s dinosaur exhibits are meant to entertain and educate, to fulfill the fascination children have as they shudder with excitement at the majesty of these creatures. Kokoro dinosaurs don’t just look like dinosaurs, they behave like dinosaurs. Motion is amazingly fluid and lifelike and beautifully complex. Walking, feeding, roaring, fighting, hatching and caring for their young – Kokoro models act and interact with captivating realism. These half to full size replicas turn the clock back millions of years to recreate the whole Cretaceous world. Plus, this summer only, see a rare live albino alligator on loan from the Alligator Farm Zoological Park in St. Augustine, Florida. There are only 70-100 known true albino American alligators out of five million worldwide. According to legend, peering into a white alligator's eyes will bring good luck. |
