Student art at The Merc Gallery

Lillian Cooley, 8th Grade, Medieval Manuscript Letter

Student art is on display at The Merc for the run of our Children's Theater Production of As You Like It.  Robin Neslon Wicks, art teacher at Liberty Bell Junior/Senior High School, curated student work with contributions from eighth graders through seniors.  Showcasing a variety of mediums, the work compliments the time period and genre of Shakespeare's play which is currently onstage.

Also on display in The Merc's window is a mural painted by Ashley Watson, senior at LBHS.  Ashley's senior project aimed to create an installation for The Merc using only acrylic paint. Her project portrays many of the talented people who represent The Merc's community and recent productions.  Ashley invested over 50 hours of studio time planning, drafting, and then painting the mural in order to have it installed for Opening Night of As You Like It. 

Join us for the final weekend of As You Like It to view the art.  The weekend starts with Pay What You Can Night on Thursday, March 12th and goes through Sunday, March 15th. 


Thurs - Sat, show starts at 7:00.  Sun matinee starts at 2:00.  Tickets available online and at the door.  Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime.  Bring your nickels for Nickel Shakespeare scenes performed in the lobby before the show starts.
