Pick: O’Keeffe!

O’ yeah: You may recognize Georgia O’Keeffe’s close-up paintings of flowers, but how much do you know about her as a person? The artist comes to life in Lucinda McDermott’s one-woman play O’Keeffe!. McDermott embodies the fascinating, fiercely independent icon (who studied at UVA for five summers), and provides answers to questions about her art and legacy, as well as her complicated relationship with her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. After a lifetime of being dismissed because of her gender, this play puts O’Keeffe front and center.

Saturday 10/9. $12-15, 7:30pm. Piedmont Virginia Community College, Main Stage Theatre, 501 College Dr., pvcc.edu.
