Doubt
by John Patrick Shanley Pulitzer and Tony Award Winner
This gripping story of suspicion is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. The provocative investigation of truth and consequences is set in 1964, as Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students.

Moonlight and Magnolias
by Ron Hutchinson
When the screenplay for his new epic, “Gone With the Wind,” doesn't work, legendary producer David Selznick sends for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of "The Wizard of Oz." Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay for one of the most beloved films of all time. Frankly my dear, hilarious fun!

The Lawrence Art Guild is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity created to promote art awareness in Lawrence and surrounding areas. We support the creative growth of its members and area artists. Meetings are held on the third Monday evening of each month, 6:30p.m. to 9:00p.m., in the Lawrence Public Library auditorium at 707 Vermont Street. The first half hour of our meeting covers old and new business of the Lawrence Art Guild with the "Artists' Forum" beginning at 7:00 pm.
2008-09-15, SEPTEMBER ART GUILD MEETING
Bill Bowerman, "Art and Psychology: One Artist's Journey and Every Artist's Journey" Bill Bowerman, Past President of the Lawrence Art Guild and of the Lawrence Photo Alliance, will present artwork created during the last 25 years. He will discuss various psychology topics that have been relevant to his art and to his development as an artist. These psychology topics (e.g., creativity, self-image, social comparisons, reactions to feedback, interactions with other artists and with non-artists, and promoting and selling art) are relevant to all artists. Before beginning his journey as an artist, Bowerman taught and did research in the psychology departments of the University of Kansas and Leiden University, The Netherlands. He holds a Ph.D. in social psychology from Harvard University. His interests as a psychologist have included self-concept, perception, creativity and innovation. He continues to pursue these research interests actively. The presentation will be a blend of presenting art and discussing central psychological underpinnings of creating art and being an artist.
Meetings held on the third Tuesday of each month at 9:30am, and on the Monday preceding the third Tuesday at 7pm, at Plymouth Congregational Church. Public welcome.
