An Enemy of the People
Friday, April 25, 2025 8:00pm
In a small rural town, the economy is flourishing as tourists flock to the local baths, creating palpable optimism in the community. But when a local respected scientist makes a catastrophic discovery that the water supply is contaminated, the future of the town becomes unclear. In a new adaptation, directed by Johanna Kasimow and created with the ensemble, An Enemy of the People sparks a tenuous dialogue about truth and the complex navigation of collective responsibility.

Exhibition - A Roll of the Dice: Symbolism in the Sackner Archive
Saturday, April 26 to Friday, June 27, 2025 (all day)
In 1897, French Symbolist poet Stéphane Mallarmé revolutionized the world of graphic design with a single poem that forever changed the way we look at words. His work illustrated how text conveys meaning not only through words, but also as visual symbols that contain a deeper meaning. For over 125 years, artists and writers have continued to explore the mystery of Mallarmé’s poem “Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard” [A throw of the dice will never abolish chance].

Song*Lines Project: People Power
Sunday, April 27, 2025 2:00pm to 4:00pm
How do we feel for and lift up the soul of a place? How do we intentionally weave together those who are stoking it, in rest + play + dreaming? How does the ancient, simple act of singing together remind us what our bones already know? How does this humble, collective music-making feed Life and the land that gives us home?
