Got A Dream In Your Heart?

We hope you're staying warm out there. It's been a crazy week for weather and we're looking forward to a little bit warmer February!

One thing that the January weather has done is allowed us to spend a little time getting ready for some of our artist driven upcoming events. We're excited that as a part of our mission here at the Arts Collective we've been gathering projects that are near and dear to the artists who have been collaborating with us this past year. 
​

In February alone we have two interesting events. On February 16 we'll be doing a staged reading of the Eugene Ionesco play, The Bald Soprano. This project comes courtesy of Phillip Jindra and Tessa Komorowski and features a number of our regular performers. Its a free event and after we finish the reading we'll discuss the play.

On February 17 we're presenting Haley Ebinal's production titled Riot Act: A Feminist Manifesto. First produced at the UWGB, this show is a performance art piece featuring 4 monologues by Franca Rame and a devised play. Riot Act shines a mirror on society's epidemic objectification of women, exploring why and how we've let it happen. Haley performed in our production of The 39 Steps and we're excited to have her show on our calendar.

Other artist driven projects this year include Hello Again, Becky's New Car, Always Patsy Cline and a series of musical evenings being organized by Kevin James Sievert under the title "The Forst Inn Sings...". A lot of our music events happen because musicians contact us looking for a place to do their art as well, and Catherine is busy collaborating with those folks and making sure the pub and the stage are hopping with great musicians.

Do you have a dream project that you've always wanted to make happen? Contact us and start the process. Who knows? Stay warm!!
