Bedlam’s ‘Saint’
FROM BEDLAM THEATRE
New York’s critically acclaimed Bedlam Theatre continues its rotating repertory of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” and George Bernard Shaw’s “Saint Joan” to Oct. 20 at the Olney Theatre Center. In “Saint Joan,” directed by Eric Tucker, Joan of Arc is portrayed not as a saint, a witch or a madwoman — but as a French farm girl who is anything but simple. Considered by many to be Shaw’s greatest play, it played a critical role in him receiving the 1925 Nobel Prize. For more information, including tickets and show times, visit www. olneytheatre.org.

‘Timeless’
Nebiur Arellano’s “Timeless Filigree” will be on view from Friday to Oct. 13 at VisArts’ Common Ground Gallery in Rockville. An opening reception is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. Sept. 20. The solo exhibition spotlights Arellano’s mixed-media paintings, inspired by the beauty and striking modern designs of ancient Peruvian textiles. Through the shimmering and richly textured surfaces of her paintings on silk, the Peruvian-American artist creates timeless compositions layered with vibrant colors and intricate lines echoing primitive figures and contemporary cityscapes. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and noon to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.visartsatrockville.org.
