SUMMARY:The Lehman Trilogy
DESCRIPTION:Winner of five Tony Awards\, including Best Play\, The Lehman Trilogy is a riveting tour-de-force that is sure to captivate the imagination. In 1844\, a young man from Germany stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is joined by his two brothers\, and an American epic begins. Over the next 163 years\, the Lehmans transformed a small storefront into an unstoppable investment superpower – until a collapse that pushed the global economy to the brink of destruction. With three extraordinary actors portraying over 50 characters\, this universally acclaimed play tests the bounds of the American dream and the limits of epic theatricality with a one-of-a-kind event you won’t want to miss! \n“A must-see event. Epic in every conceivable way. You dare not miss it” – New York Post \nBy Stefano Massini \nAdapted by Ben Power\nDirected by Arin Arbus \nTickets: Starting at $25

SUMMARY:Susan Hall: "Balance" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Susan Hall’s oil paintings reverently explore nature. Her animal subjects —often deer\, birds\, rabbits\, and other woodland creatures — are rendered with the gravity and presence of portraiture. Sometimes a human figure joins the animal in quiet communion. A lace or crochet pattern runs throughout many of her pieces\, veiling the subject to create a dreamlike atmosphere while also suggesting a delicate connection. Hall’s work is informed by meditations on coexistence\, vulnerability\, and the powerful harmonies that sustain the natural world. \nArtist’s Reception: Friday\, January 16 from 5 to 8 p.m. (Gallery Night MKE)\nArtist Meet & Greet: Saturday\, January 17 from 1 to 3 p.m.
