Post News Director sat down with North Platte native and Doane University Professor Eric Stearns about his opening reception going on tonight at the Prairie Art Center of his latest ceramic work in a show titled Ra•ku.
NORTH PLATTE - Eric Stearns returns to North Platte and tonight at the Prairie Art Center is his opening reception of his latest ceramic work in a show titled Ra•ku. The event goes from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at the PAC and you can chat with Stearns at the event. Check out the latest pieces of art Stearns has done.
Raku is a method of quickly firing ceramic artwork. Eric removes the pieces from the kiln at 1450° F, when they're still red hot. The art is given about a minute or two to cool before placing it in a metal container with a few sheets of newspaper. The paper ignites and smokes then the container is closed.
The reduction atmosphere affects the glaze colors and the smoke turns unglazed parts of the clay black. The drastic thermal shock also produces cracking in the glaze —known as crazing since it is deliberate. The piece is removed from the container once cool and cleaned up to remove residual soot and ash, revealing the brilliant glazes.

Showtimes are 7:30pm on Friday's and Saturday's while Sunday's will be 2pm.
The show "Steel Magnolias" is a comedy-drama about a group of Southern women who bond over life's triumphs and tragedies. The play premiered off Broadway in 1987 and was subsequently adapted into a movie starring Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Darly Hannah in 1989. The North Platte rendition will focus on the Broadway adaptation, not the movie.

The cast will consist of:
- Truvy – Tia Cooper and Jackie Curtis
- Annelle – Gianna Tejral and Kate Werkmeister
- Clairee – Chris Vieyra and Bea Webster
- M’Lynn – Amy Sabatka and Tosha Shotkoski
- Shelby – Lauren Franklin and Anja Tejral
- Ouiser – Lynnette Niles and Anne Schmit
- Direction and Design – Ritch Galvan
- Stage Manager – Nathaniel Allen
- Assistant Stage Manager – Angel Chua
For ticket prices, adults are $18 in advance or $20 at the door. High school students with a school ID can get tickets for $10 in advance, or $12 at the door. Lastly MPCC students, staff, and faculty just need to show their ID to get into the show for free.
Tickets will go on sale a week before the performance. Tickets can be purchased online at: northplattecommunityplayhouse.com or at the playhouse box office Monday through Friday from 12:00pm - 5:00pm. You can also purchase tickets at the door an hour before the show.
