The Restoration of Ada's McSwain Theatre
Written by David Tamez on Tuesday September 1, 2009
On our next Gallery Show..
An Oklahoma landmark has a new lease on life thanks to the Chickasaw Nation. The McSwain Theatre in Ada is a 90 year old icon that is now a state of the art live entertainment venue. Once a venue for Vaudeville, the old theatre has a new lease on life and she’s more popular than ever. Join Gallery as we take a trip down memory lane with patrons who have been part of the McSwain’s past and are now part of its future.
Plus the 3d metal work of Oklahoma City Aritst Stan Carroll. You won't believe his unusual designs and tantalizing sculptures that has gained him national recognition.
Stay Tuned.
Gallery follows Lego Master
Written by David Tamez on Wednesday August 26, 2009
Gallery has been given special permission to follow a very unique story which will air in November.
There are only 40 Lego Masters in the world and he has held the title. Now, Kurt Zimmerle is using what he calls “the brick” to create his version of Oklahoma City . It’s a special project put together by a venture capitalist to raise money to benefit city children.
Zimmerle has recreated the Skirvin Hotel, the state capitol, the Chase Bank building, Bricktown, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, complete with a Chihuly exhibit, the National Memorial, the Chesapeake Energy complex, the Bank One building and a host of other city landmark buildings, including a future landmark…the new Devon Tower .
Gallery goes to the construction site that fills a warehouse to follow the progress of this Lego version of Oklahoma City and to talk with the brick artist who spent months building it.
Don’t miss Gallery in November. We don’t use the word “amazing” very often, but in this case, we’ll make an exception. You’ll be amazed by this artist’s work and we’re pretty sure you’ll suddenly discover a burning desire to go buy some Legos.
Next Gallery Airs on Sept 3rd @ 8pm

What happens when 12 green teenagers team up with a seasoned Hollywood actor, writer,
and producer to try to make a movie in just one week?
Don't miss the drama, the comedy and out whacky shenanigans when Gallery takes you behind the scenes for the "Making of Sunspots".
TImothy Fall has worked with Clint Eastwood, Bob Newhart, he's been on Cheers and a host of other sit-coms and Movies. But he put all that aside when he recently moved to Oklahoma from Los Angeles in search of a more peaceful life for his family. Little did he know what he was getting himself into when he signed up for the "City Arts Center Dead Center Film Bootcamp" to teach a dozen kids the real life world of making a short film.
You won't want to miss out on all the behind the scenes action in this great summer adventure and see the movie the kids were able to produce in 5 short days. Audiences (of parents) are raving about "Sunpots".
