A still of Groucho, Harpo and Chico in the Marx Brothers' Film "Rarities"
This week on Artworks –
The story of a song that traveled around the world to honor a beloved champion of the local scene, who left it far too early. The song, first performed at last year’s Lotus Festival honoring the festival’s dedicatee Sophia Travis, is enjoying a new incarnation.
Also on the show, we take a seat in the front row for the Crossroads Repertory Theatre season, just underway at Indiana State University. And we’re settling in with the large box of popcorn for the Slapsticon movie festival, bringing rarely-seen silent and sound comedies to the IU Cinema.
