Humanity's Opposites--Beginning with Ireland

The Aesthetic Realism Dramatic Presentation Sunday, March 11 at 2:30 PM will feature a lecture in which Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism, spoke about the first act of Sean O'Casey's play Juno and the Paycock. Scenes will be performed by the Aesthetic Realism Theatre Co. This is a quote from it:

"Comedy and tragedy are two words as important as any, because they are about every person's life....The way in Juno and the Paycock the ridiculous, the tawdry, the shoddy mingle with the grand, and the laughable with the unendurable, is notable....Beauty is the only thing that takes the tragedy and comedy of life, its ridiculousness and its tearfulness, and composes them."--Eli Siegel

There will be Irish Songs, with Comment
including "The Minstrel Boy," "Wearin' o' the Green," "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye," "Danny Boy," & Others

And "Good Will: The Greatest Practicality" by Ellen Reiss
