When a blackout appears to foil the ambitious plans of an aspiring young artist to impress both a potential benefactor and a future father-in-law, hilarity ensues. This one act play performed without intermission will leave you breathless with it’s fast paced slapstick humor and delight you with it’s inventive twist, staging action that takes place entirely in the “dark”.

Public education has been under attack in Wisconsin, but in winter 2011 we saw it ramp up to an unprecedented degree. And there has been a lot of talk about public school teachers. They've been called everything from slackers to saints. But very few non-teachers have a clue. We have no idea what goes on in the world of a teacher. This show gives teachers an opportunity to speak for themselves about what teaching is really like for them. Because, surprise surprise: Teachers are people, too.

A Mining Protection Benefit with Tom Neilson

presented by The Sierra Club

Sat February 18, 3pm

Ticket Prices: $10 or more if you can! Click here to order tickets securely online.

Known locally as the Bard Insurgent, Tom is a veteran of stage and street theater with his writing, acting, and directing. His music reflects his involvement with heroin addicts, the poor, human rights, safe energy, and liberation movements from Nicaragua to Eritrea. His original works, parodies of popular tunes, well known freedom songs, and poetry draw the listener into his musical response to globalization. Tom is the winner of multiple awards for his music and writing, most recently in 2011 the IMA People’s Choice Song of the Year for Social Action, IFA War & Politics, and a Finalist, Music for the Earth. All proceeds go to support mining protection work by Sierra Club and the Wisconsin Mining Impact Coalition. Join us after the show at The Great Dane with Tom Neilson as our special guest!

A stranger walks into a bar.... This is not the beginning of a joke, but the set up of Steven Dietz’s acclaimed dramatic thriller. He sits silently through the comic and convoluted conspiracy theories of one of the tavern’s idiosyncratic regulars. But when the stranger opens his mouth, a young couple who own the place find themselves caught up in what might be the biggest, strangest, and most alarming conspiracy of all.
