The Secretary

By: Kyle John Schmidt

Directed By: Brittany Crooke

“The Secretary,” a dark comedy play by Kyle John Schmidt, centers on a small-town gun manufacturer and the community that supports her business. The play follows a group of women, each finding unique ways to cope with their lives using firearms, in a town heavily influenced by the Second Amendment. The story explores themes of gun culture, community, and personal struggles within a tight-knit circle of women.

This production contains depictions of gun violence, including violence in a school and community setting, as well as references to domestic violence. These themes may be distressing to some audience members. Viewer discretion is advised.

By: Lisa Peterson & Denis O’Hare

Directed By: Missy Moore

AN ILIAD is a modern-day retelling of Homer’s classic. Poetry and humor, the ancient tale of the Trojan War, and the modern world collide in this captivating theatrical experience. The setting is simple: the empty theater. The time is now: the present moment. The lone figure onstage is a storyteller—possibly Homer, possibly one of the many bards who followed in his footsteps. He is fated to tell this story throughout history.

Magic Beans

Magic Beans have a passion for music that is as infectious as their songs, both of which have gained them national notoriety. The band honors a wide diaspora of American music by incorporating inspiration from funk, disco, rock, soul, and even some country into a complete package that is noticeably their own. Their latest release, ‘Impendo Destructo’, is a concept album of synth laden 70s classic rock and 80s era funk music exploring the themes of civilization post social collapse. Previous studio releases encapsulate the diverse and ever evolving sound of the Beans. ‘Unzipped’, is an all instrumental tribute to lo-fi recording techniques, hip hop beat tapes, and 90’s neo-soul. ‘Slice of Life’, showcases the bands’ depth of songwriting and composition as well as their knack for catchy lyrics. The Beans have extensively toured their analog dance music and neo-jam across the whole country, earning them an expansive fanbase.
Seamlessly combining the familiar tones and accessible sounds of the past with a modern spin makes the band a hit with music fans of any generation. Their soulful songs and entrancing dance grooves will fill your cup and leave you wanting more. Intended to move your body and your heart, the band draws you in with their music and their wonderful fanbase, Team Bean, makes sure you stick around. With an impressive repertoire of 100+ songs and resume of 1000+ shows in their wake as a young group, Magic Beans are sure to be one of those bands you’ll keep your ear on for a long time.
