| THE ART OF AUTUMN THEATRE Like the acts of a play in four parts, every season offers us another piece of theatre art. Summer has been an exciting, fast-paced romp with artCamp and exhibitions spinning us forward into autumn. |  Illustration by David Greenwood-Mathé |
With the onset of fall at artCentral we’re planning and looking ahead to winter’s act—our December Holiday Boutique filled with artist-made giftables and the exquisite scarlet amaryllis that will again be available for purchase. Already board members Jackie Boyer, Betsy Flanigan, Judy Goff, Jane Van Den Berg and Gail White are preparing the beautiful containers that will be planted with bulbs in time for holiday blooming. Stay tuned for information on reserving yours for decorating and gifting. Availability will be limited.
In the meantime, have you noticed? The theatre of our Carthage autumn is making a fine beginning. Hints of transition are starting to show in treetops. The hydrants on the square and down the parade route are all lavishly costumed for our Maple Leaf celebrations, while an array of colorful chrysanthemums adds seasonal delight in gardens and on steps and stoops and porches and sidewalks.

The artist reception takes place 6:00-8:00 p.m. with hors d’œuvres and libations. The public is invited. Admission is free.

For me personally as an artist, October is a month for theatre with a fully packed playbill. The drama began mid-summer with phone calls and requests from two very unique venues—Stone’s Throw Theatre here in Carthage and Urban Art Gallery in Joplin.
Answering a request call from Bryan Springer at Stone’s Throw, I learn the theatre isn’t just a showcase for thespian arts. On the theatre’s gallery wall visual artists are welcomed and on display for each performance run. Bryan asks if I’ll install an exhibit. After checking calendars with David, my husband and colleague in all-things-art, I delightedly I say, “Yes,” and begin to assemble a collection from my œuvre.
My exhibition, "Alice Lynn Greenwood Mathé: Paintings" is now on view during Stone Throw's run of the delightful comedy, "Mind Over Matt" written by Scott Haan and directed by Tom Brown. Performances take place Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: October 6, 7 and 8 and 13, 14 and 15, 2017. Stone's Throw Dinner Theatre is located at 2466 West Old Route 66 Boulevard, Carthage, Missouri. For theatre information/performance reservations call (417) 358-9665.

In response to a request from Linda Teeter, owner and curator of Urban Art Gallery in Joplin, David and I are exhibiting our collaborative collection "Les Morts et Les Mystères: The Ancestors and The Spirits.” This collaboration is on view for the month of October, 2017, at the marvelously eclectic Urban Art Gallery, 511 South Main Street in Joplin. The opening reception takes place, 5:30-8:30 pm, this Thursday, October 5, 2017, during Joplin's First Thursday Art Walk—the final Art Walk of the season. Music will be provided by David on acoustic guitar.
We’ve both traveled extensively and share a mutual interest in diverse cultures. This collaborative exhibition, presented by our Greenwood-Mathé Atelier and Gallery, features a theatre of multi-media paintings, shrines and assemblages inspired by Haitian folklore and legends. In keeping with this season, the colors are bright and vivid while the darks are très deep and mysterious.

With the art of autumn theatre dramatically unfolding for all around us, David and I are exhilarated by this season’s high intensity energy. We continue to work our day jobs and simultaneously create artworks to be exhibited in future collaborative exhibitions through every season of the coming year. With the spirits and ancestors of Les Morts et Les Mystères, “Àshe! May this be so!”
