Art Center will keep you busy nearly all day July 22
Published Saturday, July 21, 2007
If you don’t have anything to do tomorrow, July 22, we could probably keep you busy at A Center for the Arts most of the day — at least from mid-afternoon on.
At 2 p.m. we’ll bring you the closing production of “Laura Ingalls Wilder: Voice of the Prairie.” Immediately following the play, our Sunday movie matinee begins at 4 p.m. (give or take a few minutes), features the popular film “Waitress.”
With a little breathing room (and time for dinner) come on back at 7:30 p.m. for a delightful concert featuring soloist Everett Jacobson and pianist Susan Elaine Sanner.
As for the Laura Ingalls Wilder play, if you’d rather not cram everything into one afternoon, you can still attend tonight’s performance at 7:30 p.m. — the cast of kids and adults is amazing.
And, as for the movie, there will be many more opportunities to see “Waitress,” including this Monday through Wednesday at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Also, the day the MS Tram is here we’ll add two extra screenings on July 26th at noon and 3 p.m. Next week, Sun. July 29 at 4 p.m. and Monday through Wednesday again at 5 and 7:30 p.m.
So there’s a sampling of theater, film and music, all in one day (and beyond). If it’s literary opportunities you’re craving this week on Wednesday, July 25, at 7:30 in the basement of The Kaddatz Hotel, we’ll share some time with current contributors to Dragonfly Press’s recent publication.
Join us for readings by poets Athena Kildegaard, Edith Ryland, Nancy Paddock and Joe Paddock. Each has won numerous awards in their field. The reading is free and open to the public.
Also, coming next month, Doug Wood and his wonderful Old Turtle book as our Fergus Falls Summer Reads focus. Doug’s visit will include a family concert. Stay tuned for more information.
Coming up this week, there’s lots more music starting with Everett Jacobson’s recital on July 22, at 7:30 here at A Center for the Arts, moving over to Roosevelt Park on Thursday, July 26, for a concert by Scott Gunvaldson and Alan Thompson (replacing Nita Velo, who moved to Nashville) and followed immediately back here at A Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. for a reunion concert with the famous and ever popular Rio Nido — featuring two musicians who have become very familiar to us over the years — Prudence Johnson and Tim Sparks.
Don’t be a stranger. We need to see you soaking up all of these arts opportunities. Soak up some sun during the day and then join us in the evenings to soak up some art
Tickets are also on sale for Beauty and the Beast (Opens Aug. 10) and Songs from the Tall Grass (Opens Aug. 24).
Rebecca Petersen is the director of A Center for the Arts in Fergus Falls.

That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not.
