7:30 p.m. The Loft at the Mill

This event was FREE (thanks to Internet Nebraska). 7 literary artists responded to the work of 7 visual artists. The resulting work of art is called ekphrasis. Technically, it’s a literary description of or commentary on a visual work of art. Lately it’s come to mean a leap across genres as artists throughout the country come together to share and celebrate writing, painting, music, and other art forms.

Cooking With Lard

A wild assortment of women congregate in a small Texas town to speculate on the death and possible murder of a local man by his wife, El Rita. A five-person cast portrays the 15 characters who roll in and out of Addie's diner amid bingo, drill team rehearsal, girl scout cookies, and a meat protest. Come to Addie's diner to get the whole zany truth as these women grapple with everything that comes through the screen door!

Our cast: Pippa White, Mary Douglass, Becky Key, Rachel Miller, Shandi Walnofer-Anderson & Zuri. Guest director: Lindsay Porter. Dan Stratman designed the set & lights; Judy Hart produced the show.
