Sunflower is an original musical that tells the story of Amalie, a shy and sensitive 6th grader, who magically travels through the painting Cafe Terrace at Night and meets the 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) at the cafe. Amalie doesn’t fit in with her peers, who often exclude and bully her. Desperate to find a friend, she finds a kindred spirit in Van Gogh, who is living in 19th century Arles, France. As Amalie faces social pressure and bullying at school, she finds escape in the world of the painting. Van Gogh, who calls Amalie “Sunflower”, inspires her to believe in herself and understands her loneliness and pain. At the same time, Van Gogh suffers challenges of his own that eventually lead to his despair and suicide. After Amalie is betrayed by her peers, and also finds out about Vincent’s fate, she faces her own darkness.

Austin’s warm summer nights are back, and so is our Green Screen Film Series! Our Green Screen Film Series is held one Thursday per month throughout the summer in the lakeside amphitheater at The Contemporary Austin – Laguna Gloria. This season we’re letting Tom Friedman’s alien-like silver sculpture, Looking Up, inspire us. We’ll be screening classic sci-fi movies featuring other-worldly beings all summer long! So, gather your friends, pack a blanket, and teleport yourself over to the best outdoor movie night in Austin! Arrive early so you and your crew can wander the grounds and experience the sculpture park as the sun sets. Food and drink can be purchased from our on-site café, Spread & Co. at Laguna Gloria, or feel free to bring your own.
