SUMMARY:Simmerling Gallery Art Exhibit: History and Time - Chapter Three of The Dinosaur Opera
DESCRIPTION:History and Time\nNEW DATE: Friday\, March 7th \nChapter Three of The Dinosaur Opera\n\nTime creates us\, history defines us. What do we know of either? \nThrough music\, dance\, and puppetry\, History and Time tries to imagine the vast difference between recorded history and the story of the planet. \nWritten\, directed\, and produced by Gretchen Hasse\, in creative collaboration with dancer Melissa Simo and actor / musician John Koster. \nHistory and Time is the third chapter of The Dinosaur Opera\, a multi-chapter puppet saga that meditates on the deep past and deep future\, and how we understand both in the present day. The story explores time\, purpose\, and meaning\, through the eternally fascinating lens of dinosaurs. \n\nGretchen is a storyteller working in comics\, murals\, puppetry\, and installation. She teaches in the VAC at St Xavier University.\n\nExhibit on display starting in mid-January\n\nOpening Gallery & Gallery Performance Friday\, March 7th

SUMMARY:The Soul Commitments
DESCRIPTION:The Soul Commitments: A Tribute to the film ‘The Commitments’ \nMarch 14th\, 2025  \n7:30pm \nNon-members – $32 \nMembers – $29 \nThe world is made of stories\, and those stories make us. Who better to tell a story than the Irish? \nOn the streets of working class Dublin\, 1991 energetic and smart Jimmy Rabbitte pursues his dream of being the manager of a band. But not just any band\, he put an ad in the Dublin Herald looking for musicians to be a part of “THE HARDEST WORKING BAND IN THE WORLD!” \n Musicians came knocking on his door\, but if their influences weren’t American soul icons like James Brown\, Aretha Franklin\, Otis Redding\, or Wilson Pickett\, the door was slammed in their faces. Jimmy believed music should be about the sort of people you come from. Speaking the language of the streets! About the struggle of urban decay and about love! But not mushy shite love songs.  \nAnd so from one man’s dream is born “The Saviors of Dublin Soul” and STOAG recreates the energy\, music and vibe of Alan Parker’s cult classic film\, The Commitments\, based on the book from Roddy Doyle’s Barrytown Trilogy.   \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE
