SKILLET TAG BY PETE BAKELY
Date:
October 15-31, 2015
Location: MadLab
Time:
8 PM Address:
227 N. 3rd St., Columbus, 43215
Admission:
$10-$15
Details:
A group of co-workers from a greeting card company meet for a team building
exercise at their boss's home. The exercise? A game of Tag... with skillets.
It's a tale of sex, lies, murder, chainsaws, anal beads, and of course....
skillets. From the Artistic Director, Andy Batt : If Clowntime Is Over
represents MadLab's mind, then Skillet Tag is its gut. It's a show that's just
freaking hilarious, irreverent, fast-paced, violent, and did I say funny? It's
a great send-up of the classic parlor plays where characters keep coming in and
out of the same room from a dozen different doors/directions. This one is just
a bit more on the edge than most.
PICTURE LOCK: THE MEASURES

Details
Introduced and narrated by Jacqueline Goss and Jenny Perlin. In
the midst of the French Revolution, two astronomers embarked on individual
journeys across Europe to measure the Earth and, through their findings, help
determine the true length of one meter. Incorporating a performative element of
live narration by the filmmakers, The Measures retraces the astronomers'
journeys from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel, exploring the
social, intellectual, and political history that surrounded the metric system's
origins as well as the complexities of collaboration. (46 mins., DCP)
PICTURE LOCK: Flag Wars

Wexner Center Film/Video Theater

3 PM Address: 1871 N. High Street
Columbus, 43210
Admission:
$6-$8
Details:
Filmed in Columbus's Olde Towne East neighborhood over a period of four years,
Flag Wars is a very personal account of urban gentrification and its effects on
a community. Now a common phenomenon, gay families began moving into the area
in the 1990s-attracted by and renovating its relatively inexpensive Victorian
homes-increasing property values and displacing the neighborhood's
working-class families, many of them African American. Clashes arise, exposing
prejudice and self-interest on both sides as well as the common dream of having
a home to call your own. (86 mins., video)
