Arnest Homepage

Welcome to Mark & Lauren Arnest's Homepage!

Mark writes about classical music, art, theater, and dance for the Colorado Springs Gazette. The rest of the time he's a composer, classical pianist, and devotee of 19th-century classical piano playing.
Lauren is an artist, illustrator, lyricist, writer on legal topics, and editor.
[Apologies from Mark - New photo on its way!]

But, like two one-and-a-half legged people who when joined form a perfectly normal three-legged person, we've done our best work together. As Seat of Our Pants Productions, some projects include:

"All About Love," a musical based on Plato's "Symposium" (This is not as bizarre as it sounds, since the "Symposium" is basically a bunch of guys talking about love, and this adaptation merely has them, in addition, singing and dancing about love.) The show has been produced, and a CD of the soundtrack is available.
"Maynard Dines In," a fluffy farce - winner of the Jewel Box Theater's 2000 New Play competition, and premiered July 2002 by the Maverick Players in Midland, Texas. "Maynard" had its second production January 22-31, 2004 at the Manitou Art Theatre. Read the review here.
Three one-act plays: "Failing Consumption," "The Cafeteria," and "YourArmy™."
"Pike's Dream," a one-act opera based on the life of Zebulon Pike
"Iron & Gold," a dramatic musical about railroads, robber barons, and labor in 19th century America. This show is not yet finished, though the first (and longest) scene has been produced.
A cartoon, and a Y2K Calendar that turned out not to be prophetic. (Fortunately!)
