After a close call with closure in 2022 and a subsequent eleventh hour reopening, the Center for Contemporary Arts seems to be in a better place than it has in some time. All the same, Artistic Advisor (née General Manager) Paul Barnes announced last week that he’ll step back from his day-to-day duties, leaving the cinema in the hands of Cinema Director Justin Clifford Rhody (also of DIY theater No Name Cinema) and Cinema Manager Jayson Jacobson. Barnes cites recent health woes following a particularly nasty case of COVID-19 in December, as well as his husband Vern’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis on top of an existing case of fibromyalgia. “Long COVID hit my short-term memory and it was getting harder and harder,” Barnes, 74, told SFR last week. “It was just getting to be too much.” CCA Board President David Muck also spoke with SFR, adding that “I really appreciate Paul’s assistance during those nine months upon reopening.” CCA is currently running a number of notable films, including playwright Annie Baker’s Janet Planet (see review above) and the new Lily Gladstone drama Fancy Dance.
