LBCC’s SSH Gallery Show and Reception for Stone and Hammond

The creative work of LBCC theater instructor Dan Stone and stage manager Leslie Hammond will be on view in the LBCC South Santiam Hall Gallery, 6500 Pacific Blvd. SW, Albany, through March 4.

Stone is presenting a selection of original hand-molded masks and hand-sewn costumes from past productions he has directed.

The masks and costumes were made by Stone and his wife, Tina Marie, and are based on his long time interest and research into Commedia dell' Arte, an important theater form that began in the 14th century and that became very popular during the 17th and 18th centuries in Italy. Though it has a long tradition, it continues to be an influential art form in contemporary theater.

Hammond is a master technical theater builder who has worked on numerous set constructions for productions across America. Her recent set design work includes work on "She Stoops to Conquer" (Idaho Shakespeare Festival, 2005); "The Scarlet Letter" (Indiana University, 2005); and "Les Miserables" (Choate Rosemary Hall, 2009). Hammond is presenting photographs of the above-completed set designs that she constructed.

A reception will be held for Stone and Hammond on Wednesday, Feb. 16, from noon to 1 p.m. in the SSH Gallery. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m, Monday through Friday.
