David Wallace Online Now!	Aug 12, 2009 2:41 PM Wishful Thinking Paintings by Victoria Cessna and David Wallace Opening Friday, August 7, 2009. 6-10pm. Zombo Gallery. 4900 Hatfield St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201 www.zomboworld.com With live music by Slim and George Cessna with Rob Loveclutch. Showing through Friday, August 28. With great excitement and a touch of wise doubt, local painters Victoria Cessna and David Wallace present ‘Wishful Thinking’ at Zombo Gallery on August 7, showcasing works that were completed by the artists over the past year. Both artists have an affinity for using found imagery from bygone eras as inspiration for their work. Cessna’s paintings explore the mysterious allure of the random snapshot and capture the quality of a long-forgotten photograph in paint. Her work takes these photographs out of their original context and suggests that there is more than meets the eye in these seemingly tranquil domestic environments. As a graphic designer, Wallace has always been interested in the power of images and words in advertising. The pairing of innocent, naïve images from mid-century home magazine ads with more modern, direct text create a more complex world than those ‘50s magazines imply. New meanings are derived and questions are posed. As in Cessna’s work, things are not always as they seem or as we wish they could be. Just as the phrase ‘Wishful Thinking’ can either cheerfully conjure a joyful hope or sarcastically imply a skeptical doubt, the work of Cessna and Wallace explores the duality of meaning inherent within mundane, everyday imagery. ‘Wishful Thinking’ opens Friday, August 7 at Zombo Gallery in Lawrenceville and continues through August 28.

KITTEN	Jun 3, 2008 8:17 PM Hey Lisa/Anwen/PICT! Holy Meow. The photo for Ideal Husband is amazing. Anwen is such a hot toddy. I wish I could have come up to see the production, but life in college is not for living but rather for saying yes to every project that comes along. Hope life in Pittsburgh is treating my friends right, and I hope (read:know) you're making great art. I love you both. Matty

Squonk Opera	Jan 7, 2008 7:46 PM What do you give a city that has everything? Why not its own opera! Help kick off the 250th birthday year of the 'burgh with the return of Squonk Opera's roast/toast of the formerly smoky city in a little show we call Pittsburgh: The Opera! We debuted this show in June of 2006 and sold out the run, so we're bringing it back for 4 shows only, January 17-20 at the Kelly-Strayhorn Theater in East Liberty (or Eastside as some people like to call it). Since the last run of Pittsburgh: The Opera, we’ve done operas for Baltimore, St Louis, Albany, College Park, Columbia, Chester County and South Orange as part of our touring series (put your hometown's name here): The Opera. But none of them compare to Pittsburgh. So redd up your room, grab your terrible towel and tap your inner yinzer for a rollicking good time with all of the other jagoffs. Yinz better be there!

Palate PartnersDeb Mortillaro	Aug 5, 2007 1:58 PM Thank you for presenting 'The Lieutenant of Inishmore'! And thanks for the great seats! It's been a LONG time since I've been excited about the work of one playwright, and this guy is amazing. I saw "The Pillowman" last year, and was excited to see 'Inishmore'. He's sick, he's twisted...and he's hilarious! Thanks for a great afternoon!
