"Always be closing."

This is the basic building block for a definition of masculinity in the upcoming play Glengarry Glen Ross that opens Friday, Nov. 2, at CAST in Hood River.

The show is CAST's first staged reading of the 2012-13 season. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in

1984.

The play shows parts of two days in the lives of four desperate Brooklyn real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical, illegal acts -- from lies and flattery to bribery, threats, intimidation and burglary -- to sell undesirable Florida real estate to unwitting prospective buyers.

Performance dates are Nov. 2 and 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Ticket prices are $5

The human figure showcases at gallery

This November, the Columbia Center for the Arts presents "Body Language."

In "Body Language", artists will explore the landscape of the human body in all its forms. Mediums will include printmaking, painting, sculpture, and digital art.

The exhibit runs Nov. 2 through Dec. 2.

A show opening reception will be held on First Friday, Nov. 2, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Artists include Laurie Balmuth, Ann Fleming, Nicole Rawlins, Cathleen Rehfeld, Susan Sutherland, and Michelle Yamamoto.

"During the month of November, both the Portland Art Museum and Columbia Art Gallery are featuring exhibits on the body. While Portland chose to take a classical look, we are concentrating on contemporary artists and their present day approach. Figure drawing is one of the oldest forms of art and a subject that holds endless interest for all audiences," said Gallery Manager Caroline Mead.

In addition to the new show, the Gallery will be hosting several special events including a morning yoga class and artist talk.
