SUMMARY:Genre Fiction Writing: Dragons\, Aliens\, Ghosts-So What?
DESCRIPTION:Genre Fiction Writing: Dragons\, Aliens\, Ghosts-So What? \nEvery Wednesday in March starting:\nMar 05\, 2025\, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM \nIowa City\, 1019 E Washington St\, Iowa City\, IA 52240\, USA\nAbout the event \nDo you have an idea for a sweeping fantasy but don’t know where to start? Or an idea for a tense\, spine tingling horror but don’t know how to create that suspense on the page? In this class\, we’ll approach genre writing by starting with the most important element: a compelling protagonist. Too often\, the intricate magic system or impressive scary monster is where all our writing efforts go\, but a story is only interesting if the reader is invested in who it is happening to. Questions we’ll consider: Why is your protagonist the right lead for this story? What does your protagonist have to lose? What does the antagonist make the protagonist face about themselves? Generative writing prompts will be used to help us figure out who our characters are\, what they want\, and why it matters if they succeed (or fail!) We will then develop our fantastical/sci-fi/horror worlds around our protagonist and their internal struggles. By the end of this course\, you will have a general structure for your genre novel\, an outline for your protagonist’s character arc\, and several workshopped scenes. No experience necessary! Writers of any level are welcome. \nINSTRUCTOR: Tatiana Schlote-Bonne is the author of the YA horror novel\, Such Lovely Skin\, and the forthcoming adult horror novel\, The Mean Ones (September 2025). She has an MFA from The Nonfiction Writing Program at the University of Iowa. When she’s not writing\, she’s either gaming\, lifting heavy weights\, or teaching people how to lift heavy weights. https://www.tatiana-schlote-bonne.com \n

SUMMARY:Pieta Brown performs at The James Theater
DESCRIPTION:Englert PresentsPieta BrownEnglert Songwriter SeriesLive @ The James Theater\nOn-Sale ScheduleMember Presale: Wednesday January 29 @ 10:00 AM CTPublic On-Sale: Friday\, January 31 @ 10:00 AM CT\nPIETA BROWN & THE TAKEN (ft. Bo Ramsey) MARCH 28th @ The James Theater\, Iowa City\, IAPieta Brown brings the most recent version of her continually shape-shifting band The Taken to The James Theater – and featuring renowned producer and guitar icon\, Bo Ramsey. Bo Ramsey will open the night with a rare solo set.\nHailed as a “self-styled poetess\, folk goddess\, and country waif” by the BBC\, Pieta Brown first came to international prominence with the release of her self-titled debut in 2002. Now set to release a new album this fall on Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records\, Pieta will offer new and currently un-released songs along with fan favorites for her show at The James. Her much loved album Paradise Outlaw was also just re-issued digitally on Righteous Babe (December 2024) with a limited edition vinyl which will be available at the show – and Pieta plans to “weave a lot of Paradise Outlaw songs in to the set\, too.” While she regularly tours nationally and internationally\, it has been a long while since Pieta Brown has played Iowa City\, and as she put it\, “expect lots of songs — and maybe some special guests!”

SUMMARY:The Acting Company: Two Trains Running
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Lili-Anne Brown \n\n\nIn collaboration with\nRiverside Theatre \nHancher Auditorium \n\n\n\n  \nWritten by August Wilson and directed by Lili-Anne Brown \nThe Acting Company is the only professional theater principally dedicated to the development of young classical actors. Founded in 1972 by John Houseman and Margot Harley from the first graduating class of the Drama Division of The Juilliard School\, The Company has launched the careers of some 400 actors\, while bringing high quality professional theater to hundreds of communities from coast to coast. \nThis Pulitzer Prize finalist\, set in a Pittsburgh coffee shop\, is the 1960s chapter of August Wilson’s American Century Cycle\, a decade-by-decade saga of African American life in the 20th century. Memphis Lee’s coffee shop lies in Pittsburgh’s Hill District\, a neighborhood on the brink of economic development. The restaurant serves as a hangout for a host of regulars: a local intellectual\, an elderly man who imparts the secrets of life as learned from a 322-year-old sage\, an ex-con\, a numbers runner\, a laconic waitress who slashed her legs to keep men away\, and a developmentally disabled man who was once cheated out of a ham. With Chekhovian obliqueness\, the author reveals simple truths\, hopes and dreams\, creating a microcosm of an era and a community on the brink of change. \n“The Acting Company has a long and storied history as a launch pad for successful actors such as Patti LuPone\, Jesse L. Martin\, Kevin Kline\, and Rainn Wilson. Their formula is fairly simple: take professional actors on nationwide tours to develop their skills while exposing audiences … to classical works of theater.” — DC Theater Arts

SUMMARY:The Acting Company: The Comedy of Errors
DESCRIPTION:Directed by\nDevin Brain \n\n\nModern verse translation by\nChristina Anderson \n\nShakespeare’s quintessential comedy\, this farcical tale of separated families and mistaken identities delights audiences young and old. \nAntipholus and his servant\, Dromio\, travel in search of a long-lost family member\, only to get mixed up in a madcap race against the clock\, love-at-first-double-take\, run-ins with local law enforcement\, and double trouble – times two. Christina Anderson’s translation maintains all we love about Shakespeare’s language even as it updates the jokes and wordplay\, breathing new life into the double (and triple) entendres. This madcap whirl through bawdy adventures\, mad scientists\, romance\, heartfelt reunions\, and even a few happy endings will excite and titillate any audience. Additional support for The Comedy of Errors is provided by the Hitz Foundation and Play On Shakespeare.
