Review by Debra Charlton

The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina has assembled a superb cast of triple-threat performers for the Depression-era musical 42^nd Street. Directed by Casey Colgan, the story follows aspiring dancer/singer Peggy Sawyer, a small town girl who comes to New York with big dreams of making it on Broadway.

The scenic 2014 Beaufort County land preservation calendar, which displays a spectacular cover shot of a sunrise on the beach at Hunting Island State Park, is on sale at various locations both north and south of the Broad River.

Lydia Inglett Ltd. Publishers announces three USA Best Book Awards for 2013. Flight of the Mind by Marcus C. Thomas, was winner of the Art Division.

Is it a Van Gogh or just pretending to be? "Masterpiece Masquerade" will once again be the feature exhibit for Beaufort Art Association's All-Member Holiday Show. Each year BAA invites all 200 of their members to exhibit in their downtown gallery. Over the years Masterpiece Masquerade has been a favorite subject for artists and art patrons. This year's exhibit will not disappoint. Artists were asked to pick their favorite master artist to emulate, or to recreate a masterpiece, adding their own twist. Either way, this December the BAA Gallery will be filled with Beaufort artists' own "masterpieces," reminiscent of those hanging art museums all over the world. There will be oils, acrylics, collage, drawings and mixed media.
