ABOUT THE SHOW
Immerse yourself in a living history presentation, of GRANT WOOD: Prairie Rebel. In this 45-minute one man show, Grant Wood chats with the audience as if talking to an old friend across the backyard fence, or maybe at his home at Five Turner Alley in Cedar Rapids. He tells us about his life and how he changed the art world forever with his work. It is the man behind American Gothic that we hear and see, and the story of how he took the moments, the memories, and the people of our state, and showed the whole world the specialness of this place, Iowa. After the presentation, the audience is encouraged to ask actor Tom Milligan questions about Grant Wood and his life.

HALLOWEEN PARTY WITH WINIFRED & THE UNDEADS
Theatre MIDWEST presents
THE GULL by Zachary Cohn
The Gull; A Tragicomedy for One, After Chekhov by Zachary Cohn at The Amana Performing Arts Center.
TheatreMidwest presents Zachary Cohn’s new adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s beloved, world-famous, *The Sea Gull* reconfigured as a tour-de-force undertaking for one actor.
STARRING: OSU Theatre Department Professor Joan Korte.
Synopsis:
Riffing on Anton Chekhov's classic "show about nothing," The Seagull, a young woman is desperate for fame and a way out. A young man is pining after the woman of his dreams. A successful writer longs for a sense of achievement. An actress wants to fight the changing of the times. In an isolated home in the countryside, dreams lie in tatters, hopes are dashed, and hearts broken. With nowhere left to turn and nothing to do, the only option is to turn on each other. In this brand new, hilarious, and touching piece, Zachary Cohn tears away any musty old remnants of The Seagull by having all 10 characters performed by one actor. It's a robust 90-minute journey and includes a "Narrator" to manage the chaos and provide snarky commentary. This fresh treatment of one of the most popular and important plays in modern drama will cause patrons to laugh, to shed a tear, to ask (as people have been doing for 130 years) "what is wrong with these people?!"
-PLEASE NOTE: While it's a comedy, this production includes discussions about and theatricalized interpretations of bird shooting and suicide. Not suitable for young audiences.
