She’s Getting Engaged: Women in Their Communities
Sunday, September 13, 3:45-4:45pm
Free and open to the public
Data shows that for decades women have shown up at the polls more often than men. Data also shows that men tend to be more involved in political processes, while women volunteer for non-political causes more. Do women interact with their communities differently than men?
Join us for a conversation about what it is to be a woman engaged with her community.
Panelists include Dr. Lisa Albrecht of the University of Minnesota's social justice major, Roann Cramer of the Lake Harriet Concessions Citizen Advisory Council and Shannon Gibney, professor at Minneapolis Community and Technical College.
Come for the 2pm matinee then stay for the panel!

“Trying to Be Local”: The Nature, Purpose and Potential of Civic Engagement
Saturday, September 12, 5:30-6:30pm
Free and open to the public
“We need a civic renewal movement.”
So concluded the D.C.-based Case Foundation in a 2006 paper on contemporary civic engagement. Is this true? Why the clarion call? What shape might such a “movement” take? What would its outcomes look like?
Join us for a conversation about what it means to be civically engaged here and now.
Panelists include Maria Asp of Children’s Theatre Company's Neighborhood Bridges program and James A. Williams, artistic associate at Pillsbury House Theatre.
Come for the panel, grab dinner in the neighborhood, then come back for the show at 8pm!

A Run-Through
A few photos from last night's run-through. It just so happens Jason Brown's set fits perfectly and snuggly in the basement conference room at Homewood Studios- even if we had to work around the building's support posts. The art on the walls is part of Homewood's permanent collection.
