“How is a dancer like a painter?” When the dancer is Rudolf Nureyev and the painter is Jamie Wyeth, they’re alike in more ways than you might think. The play Nureyev’s Eyes by David Rush (at the Delaware Theatre Company through March 20) explores this riddle—and many others—in a two-man production that imagines the relationship between these two great artists and their years of friendship.
As the drama unfolds, Wyeth persuades Nureyev to model for him and begins a body of work that can now be found in the collection of the Brandywine River Museum of Art. The men discuss how they are each heirs to great traditions, with all the privileges and difficulties that entails. His predecessors, Nureyev remarks, sit upon his shoulders, “all of them adding weight to each jump and turn.” Meanwhile, he observes that Wyeth also has a “dozen Wyeth people looking over your shoulders,” a “whole country of Wyeths” to live up to.
In their discussions, the artists share their greatest aspirations— for Nureyev, to be the ballet master at the New York City Ballet—and their greatest fears—for Wyeth, darkness. N. C. Wyeth’s painting Blind Pew, an illustration from Treasure Island, is used onstage to remarkable metaphoric effect to embody the fears of both Jamie Wyeth and Nureyev.
Rush was inspired to write the play after visiting the Brandywine’s galleries, where a selection of Wyeth’s Nureyev works are always on view. The paintings and the play go hand-in-hand, one enhanced by the other. In the fall of 2014, a production of Nureyev’s Eyes was mounted at the American Stage Theatre Company in St. Petersburg, Florida. It ran concurrently with an exhibition of Wyeth’s paintings of Nureyev at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg’s. Now the play has made its way to Wyeth country, opening first at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey before making its move to Delaware.
The Brandywine is hosting two gallery talks in honor of the artistic collaboration of Wyeth and Nureyev. Free with museum admission, Wyeth & Nureyev, A Grande Révérence will be offered on both March 9 and March 16 at 2 p.m.
Teens ages 12 to 18 can get warmed up for this summer's Maker Camp on every Wednesday in March. A team of volunteers from Chatham Financial will be leading teens in various tech projects, from basic electricity to using an API. Teens will learn valuable tech skills while having tons of fun.

Native pollinators are currently threatened by a number of factors, including a lack of nutritious floral resources, specifically pollen and nectar. Although there are many native plants for our gardens, they are not all equal when it comes to availability of these resources. A recent trial conducted by Penn State Extension rated 84 species of native perennials and some of their cultivars to determine which ones are more attractive to pollinators. Discover the winners with instructor Connie Schmotzer, the consumer horticulture educator for Penn State Extension in York County, and how to combine them with other plants to create attractive gardens for our insect friends.
