SO, YOU WANT TO BE A WRITER?
WINE RECEPTION & BOOK TALK w/ JOHN DeDAKIS
So, you want to be a writer? Then you’ll enjoy Callanwolde’s book talk and wine & cheese reception from 7 to 9 pm on May 29. You’ll meet Callanwolde’s Writer-In-Residence, John DeDakis, a successful writer, teacher and speaker, who will present a book reading and signing, as well as conversation about his own experiences as a journalist and novelist.

John is a former Senior Copy Editor on CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.” He has published two best-selling mystery-suspense novels, "Fast Track" and "Bluff", and during his award-winning 45-year career in journalism, he has been a White House Correspondent and interviewed luminaries such as Alfred Hitchcock, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. “Fast Track” is the story of a young woman’s search for purpose as she solves the mystery surrounding the car-train collision which orphaned her as an infant. The novel deals redemptively with issues of suicide, journalistic integrity, anonymous sources, and mentoring relationships. His second novel, “Bluff,” a sequel to “Fast Track,” is based on his four-day, 25-mile hike along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru.

John is currently teaching Creative Writing Fiction Classes and Private Writing Sessions at Callanwolde. "Teaching at Callanwolde this spring has been an inspiring experience. The place attracts and exudes creativity," says John.

The complimentary reception will be held in the historic Callanwolde Library.

"NATURE: Four ways"
PHOTOGRAPHS BY RONALD NUSE
The exhibit will open on Friday, June 7, with a reception for the artist from 7 to 9 pm, and run through August 30. Admission is free and the public is invited.

These images of nature draw from four past and present photographic series by Ron Nuse. The Falling Shadows series explores the hidden mystery of nature. At first glance, the images seem to be traditional landscapes but at second glance they hint at another dimension of nature not usually seen. The Street Art series explores how art displayed in public places interacts with its environment, including urban nature. The Bamboo Pentaptych series shows bamboo images in five related panels. The Four Directions series shows nature using the visual language of surrealism.

The gallery is located on the second floor of the main building in the Callanwolde mansion at 980 Briarcliff Road, Atlanta. Viewing hours are from 10 am to 8 pm, Monday through Friday, and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday. For more information call 404-872-5338.

“BENEDICTA; ANGRY BIRDSONG; & THE PROPOSAL”
The Georgia State University Harrower Summer Opera Workshop presents Milton Granger one-act operas in the outdoor amphitheatre of Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. W. Dwight Coleman, stage director and Christy Lee, music director.

Benedicta, a serious one-act opera based on a short story by Sarah Braunstein, is set in an assisted living facility. Angry Birdsong, a comic opera, is set in the office of "Made to Persuade," where Dulcine, a shy agronomy technology researcher, is seeking advice on how to excite her audience in an upcoming presentation describing her company's new soybean varieties. The Proposal, also a comic opera, is set in the mind of "Herself," an attractive business woman struggling with how to answer a marriage proposal. She calls a meeting of the board, consisting of five of her alter egos: Five-Year-Old, Security Officer, Sensuous Woman, Statue of Liberty and Mother Teresa, to get their advice.

The operas are most appropriate for audiences aged 12 and older. The event will be held in the Outdoor Amphitheatre at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, 980 Briarcliff Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30306. In case of rain the event will be moved to the Indoor Courtyard of the mansion.
