The art of partying is captured in the exhibit 'Immediacy'
An antidote to wintry gray skies, snow and falling temperatures are summery photos of people partying on a hot August night. “Immediacy” is a collaborative exhibit featuring photos by Chris Fitzgerald and paintings by Christopher Robin centered around a party thrown by former fellow University of Memphis art student, Clare Torina, last summer. The exhibit, which opened with a one-night showing Friday at Material, is now on view at Umai restaurant at 2015 Madison Ave.

Hattiloo Theatre wants its actors recognized
Ekundayo Bandele feels that the time has finally arrived. Hattiloo Theatre, the black repertory company he founded on Marshall Avenue, is halfway through its fourth season. His team of actors and stagehands gets stronger with every show. And now, he wants his actors to get some respect.
