time. Audience: All

Thanks for the
Memories! with Nicole Craycraft, Laurie

music can connect us with special times from our past.

connection between music and memory in a decade-by-decade journey through
American music. With music ranging from the ragtime of Scott Joplin through the
more contemporary music of the Beatles and Coldplay, this ensemble is sure to

ELLIE THE ELEPHANTApril 1-13, 2013
An original adaptation of the fable of the elephant and the blind men by Sarah Ruth Diener
The Silly Shades Brigade is the coolest gang in town. Travelling the world in their signature stylish sunglasses, they love to explore and discover new things using all their senses except their sight. But when they meet Ellie, they have a problem agreeing on what kind of creature she is. How can an animal have a nose like a long spout, big floppy ears, strong feet, a tail like a wire brush and skin like old leather all at the same time? Will the Silly Shades Brigade let their disagreement break up their gang? Or will they be able to take off the shades and see Ellie for who she really is?
An ORIGINAL play best for children through Grade 3. Being performed at 23 locations throughout the Arrowhead Region. See our calendar for the date and time near you:

April 11-19, 2013
(1921-1996) As a pioneer for both women and African-Americans in baseball, this St. Paul native broke many barriers by playing for the first time on men's teams all across the nation. Although she faced a great deal of discrimination, she rose among the ranks of farm town barnstorming teams to become the first woman to play professional baseball in the Negro Leagues. Her drive, perseverance and determination transformed her from a Minnesota "tomboy" to the "female Jackie Robinson" of the Negro Leagues.

(1817-1883) St. Paul's first public school teacher.
In this program you will learn about the role of women in American frontier education, the differences and similarities between school in the 19th and 21st centuries, the diverse peoples who lived in St. Paul during Minnesota's territorial years, and the mid-19th century experience of leaving one's home behind to move to a new territory.
And in May, watch for Author Sarah Stonich touring to discuss the April release of her new book, Vacationland, set at a northern Minnesota resort.
