Cyrano's does it again

Twenty years ago, Cyrano's Theatre Company presented its first play -- Lee Blessing's "Eleemosynary." They've seldom reprised plays since, but they're making an exception by presenting the elegant, witty, poignant play about a strong-willed, eccentric grandmother and her offspring. Showtimes are 7 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays through April 22 at the same place where it all began, 413 D St.

Rutgers University art professor Margery Amdur is perhaps best known for colorful and complex smaller work, weaving together several abstract sources, but in a career of some 50 shows around the world, the Philadelphia native has also attained a reputation for larger-scale installations. One is included in her show on display through April 19 at the Kimura Gallery in the University of Alaska Anchorage Fine Arts Building.
