Pixie dust
abounds as the Eugene Ballet Company presents Peter
Pan this weekend at the Hult Center. This performance
of the classic J.M. Barrie tale is set to an original
score by Thomas Semanski and choreographed by Bruce Steivel,
but young audience members might be more excited by the
work of Las Vegas-based company ZFX, which helps four
of the characters fly across the stage. See Saturday Calendar,
and remember to clap your hands if you believe in fairies.
As
February winds down, so does the annual Readin' in the
Rain celebration. Molly Gloss's The Jump-Off
Creek, written in the strong, unsentimental voice
of a Pennsylvania woman who begins ranching in Oregon
after her husband's death, is this year's selection.
Gloss will be reading, signing and discussing her work
twice this weekend — Friday night at the First
United Methodist Church and Saturday at Tsunami Books.
See Calendar.
For two decades, from her early years in
Austin to her Irish sojourn, country/folk star Nanci Griffith
has won legions of fans with her feisty singing and literate songwriting,
and her music has deepened through assiduous study of the great
songwriters and storytellers. Griffith's tour in support of her
new live album, Winter Marquee, brings her to The Shedd
this week. See Monday Calendar.
