Also on view are works by Robert Hauser—a contemporary Peterborough, New Hampshire, artist known for his assemblages— as well as sculptures and prints from the private collection of Peter Milton. Peter Milton (b. 1930) is a renowned New Hampshire artist and internationally recognized printmaker who currently resides in the Monadnock region. His etchings and engravings display an extraordinary degree of photo-realistic themes that incorporate architecture, history, myth and memory. His career works also include paintings and sculptures; this exhibition features many of his early paintings. Milton held teaching, visiting and artist-in-residence positions at major U.S. colleges and universities, and he has received numerous achievement awards throughout his career. Milton’s work is in most major museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The National Gallery of Art, The Tate Gallery in London, and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. Varujan Boghosian (1926-2020) was a revered New Hampshire artist known for his sculptures, assemblages and collages. His approach incorporated unexpected juxtapositions of found objects and ephemera into his works, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources including literature, art history and music. Boghosian was a former professor of art at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. His artwork is widely acclaimed and can be viewed in museums across the country, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art Institute of Chicago, Currier Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art and Philadelphia Museum of Art. Both Boghosian and Milton studied at Yale University under the pioneering color-theory artist Joseph Albers.

In 1991, Hughes was honored with the Living Treasure Award from the State of New Hampshire as he continued to sculpt in stone, plaster and wood as well as inspire and teach thousands of public school students. His work can be found in many public and private collections, including the New Hampshire State Library and the Currier Museum of Art.

THE MAJESTIC THEATRE PRESENTS “’TIL BETH DO US PART” A JONES / HOPE WOOTEN COMEDY ON JULY 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 & 25, 2021 About the show: By Jesse Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten In this side-splitting comic romp about marriage, career-driven Suzannah Hayden needs a lot more help on the home front than she’s getting from her husband, Gibby. Lately, nurturing his marriage of twenty-seven years hasn’t been the highest priority for Gibby, but pretty soon he’ll wish it had been. Enter Beth Bailey, Suzannah’s newly-hired assistant, a gregarious, highly-motivated daughter of the South. To Suzannah’s delight, Beth explodes into the Hayden household and whips it into an organized, well-run machine. This couldn’t have happened at a better time for Suzannah, since her boss, Celia Carmichael, the C.E.O. of Carmichael’s Chocolates, is flying in soon for an important make-or-break business dinner. Gibby grows increasingly wary as Beth insinuates herself into more and more aspects of their lives. In no time, she exceeds her duties as a household assistant and interjects herself into Suzannah’s career. As Suzannah’s dependence on Beth grows and Gibby’s dislike of the woman deepens, Suzannah gives Beth carte blanche to change anything in the household that “will make it run more efficiently.” And the change Beth makes is convincing Suzannah that Gibby must go! When he realizes it’s Suzannah’s career Beth is really after, a newly-determined Gibby sets out to save his marriage aided by Suzannah’s best friend, Margo, a wisecracking and self-deprecating divorcee and her ex-husband, Hank, who is in the midst of his own mid-life crisis. Their effort to stop Beth at any cost sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry just as Suzannah’s boss arrives for that all-important dinner. Whether you’re married, single, rethinking your divorce or currently being controlled by someone up to no good, you’re sure to enjoy this family-friendly, laugh-out-loud Jones/Hope/Wooten comedy!
