SUMMARY:"Baggage" Capstone Event
DESCRIPTION:Baggage: Immigrants\n\nby Isabella Rose\nAugust 1-31\, 2019\nIsabella Rose’s solo exhibition is a snapshot of her long-term project featuring mixed media collages inside suitcases interpreting personal interviews. This series features the life stories of three immigrants. She received a SEMAC Emerging Artist grant for this project. \nSEMAC Capstone Event: Friday August 2\, 6:30 pm \n  \nRose’s art explores what makes people who they are\, the parts we hide and the parts we share. The parts of people that seem inconsequential interest her\, the parts that are not perfect or pretty\, but add up to make them whole. Through her art she wants to share these facets of people unprocessed and raw. Her desire is to create unease by revealing the beauty in the imperfect and broken. She hopes this unease leads to reflection\, connection\, and empathy. \nIsabella Rose was born and raised in Northfield\, MN and graduated from the Northfield ALC in 2018. She has worked with numerous Minnesota artists in Northfield and the Twin Cities and currently lives in St Paul. She will be attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the fall. \n  \n\n \n  \n  \n  \nThis activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2018-19 Gallery Season sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Reception for Krisi Lillie: Tiny Impressions
DESCRIPTION:Krisi Lillie: Tiny Impressions\nAugust 1 – August 31\, 2019\n \nIn the Guild Members Gallery. This exhibition features oil paintings by Krisi Lillie which explore the landscape of Southern Minnesota. \nArtist Statement:\nTiny Impressions reflects my interpretation of the natural beauty that surrounds us\, providing endless compositions to paint. I am especially intrigued by the moods of the clouds. My primary focus is to portray nature in a whimsical\, semi-abstract fashion as opposed to a more literal depiction. I reach this goal by selecting a creative color palette which I apply with a painting knife to generate movement\, texture\, and a modicum of whimsy. \n\nPlease join us for an Artist Reception on Friday\, August 2\, from 7 – 9 pm.  Refreshments will be served. \n  \n2018-19 Gallery Season sponsored by: \n\n\n\nTiny Impressions supported by:

SUMMARY:The Odyssey
DESCRIPTION:August 2-11\, 2019 \nby Mary Zimmerman\nThese dramatic scenes from Homer’s myth begin with a modern young woman who is struggling to understand Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of The Odyssey. A classical muse appears\, and the young woman becomes the goddess Athena–a tireless advocate for Odysseus in his struggle to get home. With her trademark irreverent and witty twist on classic works\, Zimmerman brings to life the story of Odysseus’s ten-year journey\, depicting his encounters with characters such as the Cyclops\, Poseidon\, Calypso\, the Sirens\, and others. The show is done in “bare bones grandeur” with imagined environments and epic landscapes with creative storytelling. \nDirected by Marc Robinson \n Marc Robinson is a professor of Russian at St. Olaf College who specializes in contemporary Russian theater.  He has directed a number of shows at the Arts Guild over the years including Death of a Salesman\, Dracula\, The Importance of Being Earnest\, his own play\, The Singer Sisters\, and Cabaret. Marc’s interest in Russian physical theater inspiring his work. \nMany thanks to our 2018-19 Theater Season Sponsors:\n  \nThank you to our Production Sponsor:

SUMMARY:Post-show Discussion with Kari Halker-Saathoff
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a post-show discussion with Kari Halker-Saathoff on Sunday\, August 4 at the Guild Theater.\n     \nSpecial exhibition at the Guild Theater\nOdysseus and Penelope: The Long Journey showcases the work of Kari Halker-Saathoff\, who has always been fascinated with stories of adventure.  In creating her interpretation\, Kari fashioned images on ceramic vessels that represent Penelope’s remarkable story\, while her illustrations tell the story of Odysseus. For many\, even those who have not read Homer’s The Odyssey\, Odysseus’ adventures are part of our cultural knowledge. Given this familiarity\, Halker-Saathoff depicts his journey within the mythological time period while reimagining the timeless and transcendent story – a story that has stayed with her throughout the years. \nWhile many of the illustration titles are inspired by the text of The Odyssey\, in contrast\, the titles accompanying each of Penelope’s vessels are inspired by the Women’s March of 2017\, as well as current news stories.  Halker-Saathoff has purposely chosen to align Penelope’s heroic journey within the present context of female struggle and empowerment. Her ambition for this show is to illuminate the many parallels between the present and 650 B.C.E.

SUMMARY:The Great Northfield Bank Robbery: A Love Story
DESCRIPTION:September 5\, 6\, and 7\, 2019\na World Premier\nduring Northfield’s Defeat of Jesse James Days\n\n  \nPerformances:\nThursday\, September 5\, 2019 at 7:30pm\nFriday\, September 6\, 2019 at 7:30pm\nSaturday\, September 7\, 2019 at 7:30pm\n \nIn 1900\, Jim and Cole Younger\, brothers from Missouri\, had spent nearly a quarter century in Stillwater penitentiary for the notorious raid on the First National Bank of Northfield. As a movement for their pardon grew\, a young reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press took an interest in the Youngers’ cause.  Alix J. Muller\, already distinguished in her journalism career at the tender age of 22\, followed her nose for news and went out to Stillwater to interview Jim Younger.  Alix came back with more than just a good story. She and Jim Younger began a mutual appreciation. After the famous bank robbers and killers were released\, the relationship between Alix and Jim turned into its own story — one that shocked the upper crust of St. Paul. The star-crossed romance between an ambitious young woman of high society and an ex-con more than twice her age is a story that seems like fiction — but it was once actual news. \nHow the play came about:\nBill McAuliffe was digging through files at the Minnesota HIstory Center\, researching some now-forgotten news story\, when he came across accounts of the tragic death of bank robber and killer Jim Younger. Younger had been in love with a St. Paul journalist less than half his age\, but of course it couldn’t work. “That’s a play\,” McAuliffe thought.  “Maybe I’ll write it when I retire.” Twenty-five years later\, on his way out the Star Tribune door on his final day\, McAuliffe stopped by the desk of colleague Graydon Royce\, the paper’s long-time drama and arts critic. Was there a play here\, McAuliffe wondered? As the saying goes\, you couldn’t make this stuff up. There was definitely a play there. And here it is.\n\nThe Playwrights:\nIn his 33 years as a reporter at the Minneapolis Star Tribune\, Bill McAuliffe covered politics\, crime\, weather and other obsessions of the day. He is also an award-winning travel writer and has written a wide range of children’s non fiction books. He is a bicyclist\, bread-baker\, undiscovered guitarist and grandfather of four. He lives in Minneapolis. \nGraydon Royce is a retired theater critic and fine arts writer with the Star Tribune. He won the 2016 Ivey Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Twin Cities theater community. He has been a fellow at both the O’Neill Critic’s Institute in New London\, Conn.\, and the NEA Classical Music Fellowship at Columbia University. He is also a playwright and actor. He most recently performed in “Holiday Inn” at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. Royce currently serves as director of artistic ministry at Diamond Lake Lutheran Church in south Minneapolis. He has four children and eight grandchildren. \nDirected by Rachel Haider\n2018 Best of Southern MN Scene Winner for Best Director\nThroughout most of her life\, Rachel has studied\, taught\, and worked in theater arts and in arts promotion and management. Her extensive resume includes work with professional\, community and educational theaters.  She has taught in private and public schools and with numerous arts organizations. Her most recent directing credits with the Guild include Mansfield Park\, Les Misérables (which won Best Production in 2018) and The King’s New Clothes. Other recent directing credits include The Miracle Worker\, A Christmas Carol\, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Rachel is the Performing Arts Manager at the Guild and directs/teaches/manages Purple Door Youth Theater.  Rachel brings a broad range of arts expertise to her productions\, creating quality and memorable theatrical experiences. \nFeaturing:\nJim Younger: Steve Lawler\nAlix Muller: Alison Haider\nCole Younger: Jonathan Larson\nLenora/Prostitute/Editor: Innana Antley\nGovernor Samuel Van Sant: Brendon Etter\nEdward Schurmeier/Male Guard at Stillwater Prison: Paul Seguin\nRutter/Reporter 1/Schoch: Rolf Kragseth\nSchmitz/Reporter 2: Samuel Temple\nJohnson/Con on a Crutch: Will McIntyre\nWarren Bronaugh/Reporter 3: Andy Franklin\nAdolph Grethen: Bryan Reed\nAid to Van Sant/Female Guard at Stillwater Prison/Panhandler/Ex-con/Landlady/Reporter in Boise: Esme’ Elzi\nBarker/Heckler: Joran Peterson \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany thanks to our Production Co-sponsor:

SUMMARY:Pieta Brown 411 Concert
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 at 7:30 – 10 pm\nNorthfield Arts Guild Theater\n“This record marks a major shift for me\,” says Brown. “The songs mirror so many transitions: in my musical life\, in my home life\, in my creative life\, in my country.

Over the past 17 years\, she has toured the US and Europe and released seven critically acclaimed records\, prompting NPR to applaud her moody\, ethereal\,” songwriting and the New York Times to praise her “sweet\, smoky voice.” \nRead more about Pieta Brown\n \nMany thanks to our sponsors:\n          \n  \nAdditional support by our Media Sponsor\,\nour Lodging Sponsor and our Beverage Sponsors \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:FREE Workshop: Build Your Own Character with 2Fik
DESCRIPTION:We still have a few spots for youth interested in this workshop! All ages are welcome but the workshop is focused on ages 7-14. \nExperience the magic of bringing a character to life! In this FREE workshop\, you’ll work with multidisciplinary artist 2Fik to create a new persona then use various forms of media to visualize them. Please bring a sketchbook and drawing materials; limited wardrobe will be provided. Please email megan@northfieldartsguild.orgto reserve your spot. \nAbout 2Fik \n \n2Fik is a multidisciplinary artist who is at Carleton College as an on-campus artist in residence this fall. His work combines simultaneously photography\, video\, modeling\, and performance art. In the same way that he deals in the multiplicities of forms\, he tackles the multiplicities of identity. Whether he is directing the camera or the subject of a photograph\, 2Fik confronts the boundaries placed around identities and the expectations on gender. Born in Paris to Moroccan parents\, 2Fik now lives and works in Montreal as a photographer\, model\, stylist\, and artistic director — always encouraging people to question what they see. 2fikornot2fik.com

SUMMARY:Lend Me a Tenor Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Audition Announcement!\nThe Northfield Arts Guild and director Marc Robinson are hosting auditions for our winter production of Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor!\nAudition dates are Thursday\, October 17th\, from 6-8pm and Saturday\, October 19th\, from 2-4pm\, with potential callbacks on Sunday\, October 20th\, from 4-6pm \nRehearsals will start after the holiday season\, with performances scheduled for February 14-16 and February 21-23\, 2020. \nPerformers of all genders\, abilities\, races\, ethnicities\, and experience levels are encouraged to audition. We look forward to meeting new performers and seeing familiar faces! \nAbout the show:  \nSaunders\, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company\, is primed to welcome world-famous Tito Morelli\, known as Il Stupendo\, the greatest tenor of his generation\, to appear for one night only as Pagliacci. The star arrives late and\, through a hilarious series of mishaps\, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant\, Max\, believe he’s dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening\, Saunders persuades Max to get into Morelli’s Pagliacci costume and fool the audience into thinking he’s Il Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably\, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume\, ready to perform. Now two Pagliaccis are running around in costume and two women are head over heels\, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End\, this madcap\, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter. \nCharacters \n\nHenry Saunders – The Cleveland Grand Opera’s general manager. Father to Maggie. A blowhard who often loses his temper at the slightest mishap.\nMax – Saunders’ long-suffering assistant\, who is forced to take Tito’s place.\nMaggie Saunders – Saunders’ daughter\, and Max’s girlfriend; she has great admiration for Tito.\nTito Merelli – The world’s most renowned opera tenor\, and notorious ladies man.\nMaria – Tito’s long-suffering wife\, with an “Italian temper”. Leaves Tito early in the play\, but ultimately returns to him. Loves Tito\, despite his philandering.\nDiana – The opera’s ingenue soprano\, who is “flinging her way” to the top. A seductive woman (and she knows it).\nJulia – Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild\, who considers herself a “grande dame.”\nThe Bellhop – A comic relief character who has an ongoing feud with Saunders. An obnoxious opera fan\, the Bellhop keeps showing up at the hotel suite at the wrong moment\, trying to get an autograph and a photo of Tito Merelli.\n\nActors will be asked to read in pairs and trios from the script which will be emailed ahead of time when an audition slot is confirmed. Memorization is not required. \nAny men interested in the roles of Max\, Tito Merelli\, or the Bellhop should also prepare a short operatic piece to sing a capella (any song sung operatically – if it’s Hotel California operatically\, that’s great!) \nTo sign-up for a half hour audition slot\, please email Performing Arts Manager Jared Zeigler at jared@northfieldartsguild.org \nQuestions can also be sent there. We look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:Lend Me a Tenor Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Audition Announcement!\nThe Northfield Arts Guild and director Marc Robinson are hosting auditions for our winter production of Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor!\nAudition dates are Thursday\, October 17th\, from 6-8pm and Saturday\, October 19th\, from 2-4pm\, with potential callbacks on Sunday\, October 20th\, from 4-6pm \nRehearsals will start after the holiday season\, with performances scheduled for February 14-16 and February 21-23\, 2020. \nPerformers of all genders\, abilities\, races\, ethnicities\, and experience levels are encouraged to audition. We look forward to meeting new performers and seeing familiar faces! \nAbout the show:  \nSaunders\, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company\, is primed to welcome world-famous Tito Morelli\, known as Il Stupendo\, the greatest tenor of his generation\, to appear for one night only as Pagliacci. The star arrives late and\, through a hilarious series of mishaps\, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant\, Max\, believe he’s dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening\, Saunders persuades Max to get into Morelli’s Pagliacci costume and fool the audience into thinking he’s Il Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably\, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume\, ready to perform. Now two Pagliaccis are running around in costume and two women are head over heels\, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End\, this madcap\, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter. \nCharacters \n\nHenry Saunders – The Cleveland Grand Opera’s general manager. Father to Maggie. A blowhard who often loses his temper at the slightest mishap.\nMax – Saunders’ long-suffering assistant\, who is forced to take Tito’s place.\nMaggie Saunders – Saunders’ daughter\, and Max’s girlfriend; she has great admiration for Tito.\nTito Merelli – The world’s most renowned opera tenor\, and notorious ladies man.\nMaria – Tito’s long-suffering wife\, with an “Italian temper”. Leaves Tito early in the play\, but ultimately returns to him. Loves Tito\, despite his philandering.\nDiana – The opera’s ingenue soprano\, who is “flinging her way” to the top. A seductive woman (and she knows it).\nJulia – Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild\, who considers herself a “grande dame.”\nThe Bellhop – A comic relief character who has an ongoing feud with Saunders. An obnoxious opera fan\, the Bellhop keeps showing up at the hotel suite at the wrong moment\, trying to get an autograph and a photo of Tito Merelli.\n\nActors will be asked to read in pairs and trios from the script which will be emailed ahead of time when an audition slot is confirmed. Memorization is not required. \nAny men interested in the roles of Max\, Tito Merelli\, or the Bellhop should also prepare a short operatic piece to sing a capella (any song sung operatically – if it’s Hotel California operatically\, that’s great!) \nTo sign-up for a half hour audition slot\, please email Performing Arts Manager Jared Zeigler at jared@northfieldartsguild.org \nQuestions can also be sent there. We look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:FREE Workshop: Dance That Makes Music
DESCRIPTION:The Northfield Arts Guild hosts the Flying Foot Forum Workshop…\nDance That Makes Music\nIn this hands-on workshop\, students learn to stomp\, clap\, hit\, shout\, sing and slap\, making music while dancing\, by dancing. The class\, led by Joe Chvala\, begins with improvisations and exercises that teach some of the methods the Flying Foot Forum uses to create their dances. By the end of the workshop students have created a group percussive dance piece that is partly choreographed by the company and partly created by each of the members in the workshop. This is the ultimate Flying Foot Forum workshop. Dancers should wear comfortable clothes and hard soled shoes\, if possible. Ages 8 to adult. \nThis is a free workshop but registration is required! Please email Megan Proft at megan@northfieldartsguild.org by Oct. 22 to register. \nAbout Joe Chvala and Flying Foot Forum\nJoe Chvala has spent most of his adult life based in New York City\, Gothenburg\, Sweden\, and since 1990 Minneapolis. During this time he has worked as a director\, choreographer\, writer\, composer\, performer\, and teacher for opera companies\, experimental and nonexperimental theatres\, concert dance venues\, performing arts academies\, and universities. \nHis work\, noted for its breadth and its singular brand of creativity\, is inspired and informed by his unique combination of artistic skills and experiences. The range of his work has earned him such diverse titles as “Fred Astaire on acid” and “the Agnes Deville of tap.” \nAfter moving to the Twin Cities in 1990\, Joe worked with a variety of theater companies while developing his own choreographic dance/theater work for his company of percussive dancers\, the Flying Foot Forum. Since the premiere of their first full concert (May ’93)\, the Flying Foot Forum has been presented in a variety of venues around the world from Paris to New York City\, Jacob’s Pillow to England. \nJoe has received numerous choreographic and interdisciplinary fellowships and grants from such organizations as the National Endowment for the Arts\, The National Dance Project\, the Minnesota State Arts Board\, the Bush Foundation\, The McKnight Foundation\, The Jerome Foundation\, Intermedia Arts Minnesota and the Minnesota Dance Alliance\, as well as Ivey and Sage Awards for dance and theater. flyingfootforum.com
