"I have learned that even without a shared language, it's easy to let people know that their children are beautiful, their homes are lovely...and that their stories are worth sharing with the world" - Annie Griffiths
Experience the life of a photographer on assignment for National Geographic magazine - and meet a true pioneer who figured out her own way to balance work and family. One of National Geographic's first female staff photographers, Annie Griffiths has worked on every continent except Antarctica, while also raising two children. Perhaps the only professional photographer ever to pack her camera gear in Pampers, she found a way to stay close to her kids without putting the brakes on her career -even if it meant bringing the two along with her on assignment in places as distant as the ruins of Petra in Jordan or the Galapagos Islands.

It is 1950s America, the Deep South; a world on the verge of change but still tainted by everyday injustices and the remnants of slavery. "In my family there's dead people hopping in and out of the conversation all the time."
One of those dead people is Lizzie's great-great-great grandmother Sojourner Truth, freedom fighter of slavery, whose voice could not be silenced. As Lizzie unpacks the past, she listens to Sojourner and, in the process, discovers her own voice...fearless, joyful, full of resolve.

Description: The Importance of Being Earnest
Currently a smash hit on Broadway, AHT is delighted to bring Oscar Wilde's famous farce back to Kansas City. The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identities, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Dashing men about town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwedolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew. Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on the sly activities-not to mention the disapproval of Gwedolen's mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell, played by Kansas City favorite Jim Korinke! It's a comic masterpiece about class and name dropping.

But with two Grammy nominations, a Gold Record, two of the top rated one-hour specials in Comedy Central history, a book that appeared on the New York Times Best Seller List, and CD and DVD sales of over 10 Million units, Ron has established himself as a star in his own right.
Ron has always been a storyteller; from the time he was a boy growing up in a small town in the middle of Texas oil country to selling windows for a living in Arlington to performing in sold-out theaters and arenas as a headlining comedian all across the country. For two decades he lived the life of a struggling comedian bouncing around to comedy clubs and driving to gigs in his beat-up Nissan pickup truck. In short, he paid his dues.
Then it happened. From January 2000 through March 2003, Ron performed with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy in the highly acclaimed "Blue Collar Comedy Tour," a show that played to sold out audiences in over 90 cities and grossed over $15 million dollars. Warner Bros filmed the tour and "Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie" was released as a major motion picture in theaters in March 2003 later premiering on Comedy Central as the highest rated movie in the channel's history.

Extreme Cave Diving: Exploring the Blue Holes of the Bahamas
In Kenny Broad's line of work, exploring submerged caves and blue holes, one mistake can equal death. He and his team must take every precaution to avoid such dangers as stirring up sediments that can wipe out visibility, succumbing to nausea as they pass through a toxic layer of hydrogen sulfide, or getting lost in maze-like passageways with a limited supply of diving gasses. The need to study blue holes is urgent, as they are among the least studied and most threatened habitats on Earth. Broad's work combines the study of risk perception, exploration, and environmental anthropology.

Mnozil Brass
Lied Center of Kansas (map it) 1600 Stewart Drive
Lawrence KS, 66045
|
785-864-2787
|
|
Hours: 7:30PM to 9:30PM
Admission: Adult - $20/$24 and Student/Youth - $10
Description: Though regarded as seriously talented musicians, the members of Mnozil Brass make a living out of not taking themselves too seriously. The Austrian brass septet routinely combines (slapstick) humor with impeccably accomplished musical performances. The ensemble's shows are characterized by elegant beauty juxtaposed against raucous and riotous eruptions, as the musicians take the audience on a journey spanning multiple musical styles and epochs. Performing Blofeld, Mnozil Brass' newest work is chock-full of stunts, music and movement. Founded in 1992 by graduates of the Vienna College of Music, Mnozil Brass is a truly singular experience and one not to be missed.

Description: Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (Harriman-Jewell Series)
When the Series introduced Aspen Santa Fe Ballet to audiences in 2009, it was clear that this brilliant 12-dancer company's reputation preceded its debut. Savvy patrons were abuzz about this new ensemble that the New York Times called "A breath of fresh air!" Its performance of mixed repertory was a triumph. "The Harriman-Jewell Series gave us a feast to savor for some time, and we look forward to experiencing other dishes on the Aspen Santa Fe Ballet menu," wrote Sandy Eisenberg for KCMetropolis.
