SHENANIGANS: Animals in Charge! A Drive-in Theatre Experience
<p><span itemprop="description">Enjoy an evening of drive-in theatre with <strong>Shenanigans: Animals in Charge!</strong> The show opens with a parade-size Mother Earth as she introduces us to the zany antics of animals exploring venues that, under normal circumstances, humans dominate. But, as people around the world suspend their normal activities in the face of a world-wide pandemic, the animals take charge! The show transitions from large rod puppets in the early evening, to shadow puppets as the sun sets. From start to finish the puppets are accompanied by live music with original songs written just for this show.</span></p><p><span itemprop="description">Your family can enjoy this show from the comfort of your car at the Aquatics Center parking lot, located behind City Hall. Show sound will be broadcast to your car radio. Parking spaces are very limited, so make your reservation now! Free-will donations are welcome at the event, or as an online donation.</span></p><p><span itemprop="description">Audience members may get out of their cars to watch the performances as long as they remain in their designated parking space. Each group will be socially distanced from other patrons, and are required to wear a face mask if they exit their vehicle.</span></p><p><span itemprop="description">To make your reservation, or if you have any additional questions, contact Patrons Services Supervisor Nancy Mayfield at 319-248-9372, <a href="http://nmayfield@coralville.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">nmayfield@coralville.org</a>.</span></p><p><span itemprop="description"><em>The creation and performance of this fun, mad-cap tale is made possible through a generous grant from the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust.</em></span></p>

Seriously Funny: American Gothic Parodies
<p>Grant Wood’s <em>American Gothic</em> is probably the world’s most parodied American painting, second only to Leonardo’s <em>Mona Lisa</em>. The fact that thousands of parodies of <em>American Gothic</em> exist, dating back several decades, speaks to the enduring inspiration of one of America’s greatest works of art. This exhibition—a first for the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art—will look at many of these parodies—some in the flesh on the gallery’s walls and many others digitally projected in an attempt to share the incredible reach of this iconic painting. From Bill and Hillary Clinton to Leonardo and Mona Lisa to RuPaul as male and female, these parodies speak to how this one painting serves as the basis for looking at various contemporary people and issues. Wood’s impactful 1930 painting continues to inspire “artists” of all ages and skills in a playful and humorous way that Wood would no doubt have applauded.</p> 2020-09-25 16:00:00 -0500
