Prosers and poets, artists and explorers can all find something to love in Richard Levy Gallery’s latest exhibition, formally opening on Saturday, June 9. Eric Tillinghast’s Þyngdarljóð, or Gravity’s Poetry in English, is comprised of lightboxes that depict waterfalls the artist studied during a two month stint in Iceland. The light boxes are activated by internal mechanics that bring life and movement to the pieces. Tillinghast has been working with water as material for sculpture for more than two decades—to exciting and beautiful effect. Stop in at the gallery between 5 and 8pm to celebrate the opening of the show and see some of Tillinghast’s latest works.

Before the era of #metoo and highly marketable feminist t-shirts, there was a generation of flower power women who wore their skirts short and their hair tall. Beehive: The 60’s Musical celebrates these women with songs like “Me and Bobby McGee” and “Son of a Preacher Man” this (and next) weekend at Desert Rose Playhouse. Catch the performance Friday or Saturday, June 22 and 23, at 7:30pm, on Sunday at 2pm, or at the same times every weekend through July 15. Tickets are $15 to $18 and available in advance at desertroseplayhouse.net or by calling 563-0316.
