SUMMARY:Art & Write Night
DESCRIPTION:Join the long\, rich\, historical tradition of artists creating in our spaces.\nProfessional\, aspiring\, and amateur artists alike\, make our museum your muse. The return of this popular program series welcomes guests into the Museum of Natural History’s magical gallery spaces after hours to work on sketching or writing projects with other campus and community artists. \nTell a friend\, grab a notebook\, and join us on the first Friday of each month. We’ll provide a new inspo prompt for each session and will sometimes move about the Museum but we’ll always start in the Hageboeck Hall of Birds (Bird Hall) on the third floor of Macbride Hall. Join anytime between 6-8 p.m. and feel free to participate in a themed creation challenge or work on your own project with our exhibits as inspiration. We’ll save the last 15-30 minutes of each session to share what we’ve been working on\, connecting with others (optional\, of course!). \nPlease note\, the Museum is typically closed during this time\, meaning the main entrance to Iowa Hall (atop the large staircase outside on the east side of Macbride Hall) will be closed and locked. All other building doors will be open\, offering access to the Ground Floor of Macbride Hall. Bird Hall is located on the third floor of Macbride Hall and can be reached by stairs or by taking the elevator to the third floor and crossing the auditorium to the north side of the building.

SUMMARY:Riverside Theatre Presents: Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías
DESCRIPTION:Riverside Theatre is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías\, a sharp\, hilarious\, and timely comedy that explores themes of culture\, class\, and the boundaries we build—both literal and figurative. Directed by Kirsten Brooks\, the production will run from February 28 through March 16\, 2025\, at Riverside Theatre\, located at 119 E. College Street. Tickets are on sale now at www.riversidetheatre.org/gardens. \n  \nIn Native Gardens\, good fences make for prickly neighbors. Pablo\, a rising lawyer in a powerful firm\, and his very pregnant wife\, Tania\, move into a historic\, well-to-do neighborhood in Washington\, D.C.\, eager to build their dream home and garden. But their plans clash with their next-door neighbors\, Frank and Virginia\, a well-established couple with a prize-worthy garden of their own. What begins as a simple property line disagreement soon blossoms into a full-scale border dispute! Amid conflicting assumptions about community\, identity\, and the American dream\, is peaceful coexistence possible? \nKaren Zacarías\, one of the most produced modern playwrights in the U.S.\, is known for her witty and incisive explorations of contemporary issues. Native Gardens has been hailed for its ability to tackle serious themes with humor and heart\, making it a perfect fit for Riverside’s mission to present theatre that entertains\, challenges\, and inspires. In Zacarías words\, “I think comedy is disarming. I mean literally. You let down your armor so you can laugh. And if you laugh\, you’re taking things in. I want people who disagree to watch this play and be able to laugh at themselves.” \n\nThe cast features Riverside Theatre’s founders\, Ron Clark* and Jody Hovland* as Frank and Virginia\, as well as Franco Machado-Pesce as Pablo\, Jessica Murillo Kemp as Tania\, and Natanael Payán and Ariana Martinez in the ensemble.

SUMMARY:Dreamwell Theatre presents: The Penelopiad\, by Margaret Atwood
DESCRIPTION:The Penelopiad\nBy Margaret Atwood\nDirected by Rachel Korach Howell \nMarch 6\, 7\, 8 at 7:30 pm & 9 at 2 pm\nThe James Theater \n*Content Warning: This production not recommended for children under the age of 18* \nThis is a stylized staging of the story of Penelope and the suitors. It includes recurring themes of violence against women. There will be discussion of and depiction of sexual assault and rape\, murder including hanging\, simulated consensual sex\, physical and mental abuse and manipulation\, enslavement\, and childbirth. \nNot recommended for those under 18.\n\nSynopsis:\nAs portrayed in Homer’s Odyssey\, Penelope – wife of Odysseus and cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy – has become a symbol of wifely duty and devotion\, enduring twenty years of waiting when her husband goes to fight in the Trojan War. As she fends off the attentions of a hundred greedy suitors\, travelling minstrels regale her with news of Odysseus’ epic adventures around the Mediterranean – slaying monsters and grappling with amorous goddesses. When Odysseus finally comes home\, he kills her suitors and then\, in an act that served as little more than a footnote in Homer’s original story\, inexplicably hangs Penelope’s twelve maids. \nNow\, Penelope and her chorus of wronged maids tell their side of the story in a new stage version by Margaret Atwood\, adapted from her own wry\, witty and wise novel. \nThe Penelopiad tells the story of Penelope\, wife of the famous Odysseus. Penelope\, along with her twelve maids\, share their side of the story\, in a play that examines gender and class in true Atwood fashion.

SUMMARY:Riverside Theatre Presents: Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías
DESCRIPTION:Riverside Theatre is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías\, a sharp\, hilarious\, and timely comedy that explores themes of culture\, class\, and the boundaries we build—both literal and figurative. Directed by Kirsten Brooks\, the production will run from February 28 through March 16\, 2025\, at Riverside Theatre\, located at 119 E. College Street. Tickets are on sale now at www.riversidetheatre.org/gardens. \n  \nIn Native Gardens\, good fences make for prickly neighbors. Pablo\, a rising lawyer in a powerful firm\, and his very pregnant wife\, Tania\, move into a historic\, well-to-do neighborhood in Washington\, D.C.\, eager to build their dream home and garden. But their plans clash with their next-door neighbors\, Frank and Virginia\, a well-established couple with a prize-worthy garden of their own. What begins as a simple property line disagreement soon blossoms into a full-scale border dispute! Amid conflicting assumptions about community\, identity\, and the American dream\, is peaceful coexistence possible? \nKaren Zacarías\, one of the most produced modern playwrights in the U.S.\, is known for her witty and incisive explorations of contemporary issues. Native Gardens has been hailed for its ability to tackle serious themes with humor and heart\, making it a perfect fit for Riverside’s mission to present theatre that entertains\, challenges\, and inspires. In Zacarías words\, “I think comedy is disarming. I mean literally. You let down your armor so you can laugh. And if you laugh\, you’re taking things in. I want people who disagree to watch this play and be able to laugh at themselves.” \n\nThe cast features Riverside Theatre’s founders\, Ron Clark* and Jody Hovland* as Frank and Virginia\, as well as Franco Machado-Pesce as Pablo\, Jessica Murillo Kemp as Tania\, and Natanael Payán and Ariana Martinez in the ensemble.

SUMMARY:Dreamwell Theatre presents: The Penelopiad\, by Margaret Atwood
DESCRIPTION:The Penelopiad\nBy Margaret Atwood\nDirected by Rachel Korach Howell \nMarch 6\, 7\, 8 at 7:30 pm & 9 at 2 pm\nThe James Theater \n*Content Warning: This production not recommended for children under the age of 18* \nThis is a stylized staging of the story of Penelope and the suitors. It includes recurring themes of violence against women. There will be discussion of and depiction of sexual assault and rape\, murder including hanging\, simulated consensual sex\, physical and mental abuse and manipulation\, enslavement\, and childbirth. \nNot recommended for those under 18.\n\nSynopsis:\nAs portrayed in Homer’s Odyssey\, Penelope – wife of Odysseus and cousin of the beautiful Helen of Troy – has become a symbol of wifely duty and devotion\, enduring twenty years of waiting when her husband goes to fight in the Trojan War. As she fends off the attentions of a hundred greedy suitors\, travelling minstrels regale her with news of Odysseus’ epic adventures around the Mediterranean – slaying monsters and grappling with amorous goddesses. When Odysseus finally comes home\, he kills her suitors and then\, in an act that served as little more than a footnote in Homer’s original story\, inexplicably hangs Penelope’s twelve maids. \nNow\, Penelope and her chorus of wronged maids tell their side of the story in a new stage version by Margaret Atwood\, adapted from her own wry\, witty and wise novel. \nThe Penelopiad tells the story of Penelope\, wife of the famous Odysseus. Penelope\, along with her twelve maids\, share their side of the story\, in a play that examines gender and class in true Atwood fashion.
