LOVE LETTERS
October 26, 2013 Poway California
On October twenty-sixth Barbara appeared with Hal Linden in Love Letters
at the Poway Center for the Arts. The two have toured extensively for
sell out crowds.
The play centers on two characters, Melissa Gardner and
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in
novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and
cards – in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and
ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats – that have
passed between them throughout their separated lives. (From
Wikipedia)

Viva Las Vegas!
November 18, 2011
Barbara is seen here with Adam Scott Rote at the
unveiling of his portrait of Barbara titled 'Flaming Star.'
Sometimes art travels beyond beauty or inspiration and
brings the viewer to a place of stillness, of memory recall, and a
longing for a time and place that is suffused with sweetness and
nostalgia.
The Drive In Daze paintings by Adam Scott Rote transports the viewer to
long summer nights in spacious cars watching real movie stars in their
signature roles. Today, we marvel at the 3D images jumping off the IMAX
screen, but nothing replaces great storytelling. And here, Adam is
telling the truly American story of those Drive In Daze, and the iconic
stars who brought the films to life.
