Michal Gavish, an artist whose creative home base is Palo Alto's Cubberley Studios, has a master's in painting and a portfolio that includes watercolors, painted sculptures and landscapes. This year, she's ventured onto a new stage, lending her skills to theater.Playgoers who see the new dramatization of Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" at the Pear Avenue Theatre will also get a look at Gavish's art. She painted the dreamy backdrop with trees, hills and a distant castle.
Twain is getting a new treatment in the show, too. The play is a new dramatization of his book by Diane Tasca and Rebecca Ennals, running through May 29.
So we've got a hero who's transported from 1880 to the Middle Ages, with his story told with 21st-century sensibilities. 'Tis true time travel.
