Arts - GP   

Do your friends think you're a little 'extra'? Did you ever wish you could be in a soap opera? Use that wishful talent for a fast-paced intensive acting course! Sherri Marengo, founder and director of Legacy Actors, will meet with aspiring actors, and those who didn't think they could, for 10-11 hours over 2 days to learn technique, stage presence, projection, costuming, SFX and more ending with a show performance for their family and friends.

Come create your very own grapevine wreath using ribbon, ornaments, shells, jewelry, wooden cutouts, flowers and more. Materials are included in the class fee.

We will begin with a docent-led tour of the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum that houses the works of George Ohr, the "Mad Potter of Biloxi,” a nationally recognized artist with works displayed at the Smithsonian Museum of Art and New York Metropolitan Museum. Explore other galleries with contemporary works of sculpture, photography and three dimensional art by visiting artists such as Simphiwe Ndzube. We will tour the Pleasant Reed House, a restored Creole cottage on the grounds. Entry included in course fee.
