Watercolor workshop brightens spring plans
GAINESVILLE - Bill Conditof
Denver, Colorado returns to the
Quinlan Art Center April 6-10 to
teach another of his popular wa
tercolor workshops. His flowers
and landscapes show a luminos
ity and brilliance as he uses only
transparent watercolors in his
paintings.
To the experienced and begin
ning painter alike, Bill gives tech
niques that allow each student
the confidence to develop and
grow in his/her work.
Bill will demonstrate each day,
emphasizing composition, draw
ing technique, color mixing and
brushwork, perspective and
more. The class will paint after
each demonstration and there
will be a critique of each day’s
painting.
William Condit studied water
color at the Dayton Art Institute.
He received his BFA degrees
from Miami University in Oxford,
Ohio in 1942. Condit made his
home in Denver, Colorado and
there opened the city’s first ad
vertising art studio. Ten years lat
er with 21 artists on staff, he
opened “Condit Exhibits” which
is today, perhaps, the West’s larg
est exhibit firm. In 1979, Condit
retired by selling his company
outright to start a new career...a
second career as a transparent
watercolorist

The play is from a script origi

wry wit and poignant philosophy
of a great American writer are
presented on the stage as anec
dotes and recollections. Although
Mr. Kidd is now from Ames, lowa,
he has been a frequent performer
in the North Georgia area.
“Mark Twain Tonight” will be
his first appearance in a Georgia
Center production. There will be
two performances, Friday and
Saturday evenings, Jan. 24 and 25,
at 8:15 p.m. at the Georgia Center
for Continuing Education.
Tena Worthington, who played
the title role in the Georgia Cen
ter’s 1991 Winter Theater Series
production of “Driving Miss Dai
sy,” will appear this winter as
Emily Dickenson in “The Belle of
Amherst” by Seattle playwright
William Luce.
The play, based on the life of
one of America’s greatest poets,
explores Emily Dickinson’s fasci
nating experiences from age 15
until her death as a virtual re
cluse at age 56. American actress
Julie Harris played the role on
Broadway to great acclaim; the
drama won the 1977 Tony Award
for best play. Tena Worthington
appeared in the Julie Harris role
when the play was produced by
the Warner Robins Little Theater
and the New Forest Studio of Sa
vannah last year.
There will be a performance on
both Friday and Saturday, Febru
ary 21 and 22, at 8:15 p.m. in the
Georgia Center’s Hugh B. Masters
Hall.
Atlanta actress Vivian Anne
Tedford will be featured in the
concluding production of the win
ter series, “Shirley Valentine,” a
moving and amusing monodrama
by Willy Russell. Broadway ac
tress Pauline Collins won the
Tony for her performance in this
play about a rather ordinary En
glish housewife who ruminates
on her life and family.
She is enticed by a friend to a
holiday in Greece and decides to
stay there. Her life is changed.

While their music has had great
response overseas, it has not had
the same amount of fanfare here
in the U.S. According to two radio
promoters who work with the cou
ple. They lay blame mainly on the
fact that they are not on a major
label, and the fact that their
name, “Lester & Carolyn Bruce”
sounds Southern Gospel.
While being Southern Gospel is
nothing to be ashamed of, and in
fact they have some Southern
Gospel songs, the main format of
the husband and wife team is
Adult Contemporary, Inspiration
al, Contemporary Hit Radio, and
Christian Rock.
Rob Woolsey of RPM Produc
tions, who has put Lester and
Carolyn Bruce on CD and pushed
them throughout the United
States, and is promoting some
new singles for the couple, agreed
Vivian Anne Tedford, who will
portray Shirley Valentine at the
Georgia Center, has performed in
films and on television in addi
tion to her appearance on stage.
She was for several years a fea
tured performer with the Win
ston-Salem Theater Alliance, and
appeared there as Annelle in
“Steele Magnolias.”
Miss Tedford will make her
first appearance at the Georgia
Mountain Center on Friday and
Saturday, March 20 and 21, with
performances at 8:15 p.m. in Mas
ters Hall.
The Winter Theater Series is
produced by the Department of
Special Events at the Georgia
Center for Continuing Education.
Season tickets for the series will
be $lB, providing reserved seat
ing for the three productions.
Single tickets are $8 when pur
