It involves locking movable type into the bed of a press, inking it and rolling or pressing paper against it to form an impression. These artists have revived traditional form and taken it in a new experimental direction. This exhibit will showcase the seductive embossing and textual qualities that have been lost in our digital age of efficient, predictable order. Admission: Free (no ticket required)

Child's Play tells the story of Vera, a child therapist who wonders if she is really doing the children she treats any good anymore. When confronted by Cindy, a 10-year old who has quit speaking to anyone, Vera struggles to peel away the layers of the girl's mistrust and enter Cindy's world to uncover the secrets behind her silence. With this deftly written piece, the Atlantic Stage production team looks forward to staging Cindy’s inner world and Vera’s struggle as visualized by author Kevin Ferguson. Recommended for mature audiences. Atlantic Stage, the Myrtle Beach area’s only professional theatre, was organized by Coastal Carolina University theatre faculty and utilizes CCU’s stage facilities at its 79^thAvenue location.
