This Pulitzer and Tony Award winning play is many things at once: a drama, an off-beat comedy, a story about sexual/ racial/ religious/ ethnic/ political identity. Set in the Reagan era this story centers around loneliness and family, cowardice, and guilt. It is about living with-and dying from-AIDS. Not just from HIV, but also from the ripples of heartbreak. Angels in America is a story that shines light on all the dark places in the human heart.

Sue Mundy was a product of the civil and uncivil unrest existing in Kentucky in the closing days of the Civil War. As Kentuckians bridled under military rule, and the depredations of guerrillas who created an atmosphere that must have resembled, in many ways, the turmoil of present-day Baghdad in its most turbulent months, it was a period of vicious personal wars among a divided populace.

Richard Taylor, profesor at Kentucky State University, is a writer and former Louisvillian and Kentucky Poet Laureate. University Press of Kentucky published his historical novel, Sue Mundy: A Novel of the Civil War, as part of its Kentucky Voices Series

This "Bite" of History Series presentation is Free to attend.

From August to November 1888, Victorian London was held in the grip of fear by a mysterious killer. The name bestowed upon him has become known the world over: Jack the Ripper.

The Frazier Museum presents a special All Hallows Eve performance of our interpretation of the Ripper mystery: three actors capture the horror of the crime scenes, the intensity of the police investigation, and the pursuit of the elusive killer.

The University of Louisville Early Music Ensemble, lead by Dr. Jack Ashworth, will open the evening with a program of authentic period music popular in the 1880's, including the song that one Ripper victim was heard singing on the night she was killed.

Please Note: This performance contains some mature content and is recommended for folks age 13 and over.

On November 1, KMAC will be having its 3rd Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Festival. Day of the Dead is a joyous holiday that originated in Mexico. This celebration honors the lives of deceased loved ones and the continuation of life. In this tradition, death is not seen as the end, but rather a new stage of life. This year KMAC’s celebration will include a traditional public altar to honor loved ones, a workshop, as well as a fun festival which will have food, music, art, a sugar skull contest, fire dancers, face painting and puppets. We will then conclude with the traditional Mexican candlelit march. Be sure to join us for what will be a fun night of Hispanic culture.

Shelly Zegart's love of American quilts began in the mid-1970s when she was looking for quilts to use as art in her new home. Since then, she has been a passionate collector, curator, author and lecturer on both antique and contemporary quilts. She has helped to build quilt collections in Kentucky and around the world. This exhibition features about 2 dozen quilts from her personal collection that are of particular significance to her because of their relationships to family, particular artists, specific exhibitions and significant local collections. The exhibition also highlights her contributions in the wider quilt world. Among her most significant contributions came in 1993 when she was a founder of The Alliance for American Quilts.

Marvin Finn didn’t have much as a child growing up in Clio, Alabama. Born in 1913, the son of a sharecropper, he had to leave school in the first grade to go to work in the fields. His father often whittled on wood and from an early age he would stand alongside him to learn carving skills from him. He also liked drawing, painting and building. As Marvin Finn recalls those hard times, he remembers his most valuable possession, “I had my imagination.”
Marvin Finn is best known for his haughty, fun and imaginative roosters. The systematic use of bold stripes, dots and dashes painted on scrap wood against a solid background in unconventional color combinations is his signature style. Some scholars have linked his worked to the West African art of the Yoruba tradition. Marvin Finn says, “I just do what my mind tells me to do. Maybe the good Lord plants these things in my mind. When I leave here and meet the good Lord, I ain’t never going to quit making toys.”

An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.
Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” MAMMA MIA! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

It has been 10 years since the fall of Troy as we meet Odysseus, the ill-fated hero who must battle his way through a series of misfortunes as he struggles to reach his home. His fleet of Greek warriors encounter many obstacles; trouncing a Cyclops who dines on flesh, the angry sea who seeks to destroy their ships, and the call of the sirens who angelic voices lure stupefied sailors to their rocky beaches. Will Odysseus reach his home of Ithaca, reuniting with his wife and son who fear he has perished in battle? Will the gods honor his perseverance? Only the journey can tell. Based on the Epic poem by Homer and directed by former Stage One artistic director and pioneer of theater for young audiences, Dr. Moses Goldberg.

With Union Station on hiatus for most of 2008, Tyminski brings the latest incarnation of the Dan Tyminski Band to the Ogle Center, including longtime Union Station associate Barry Bales (bass), former Union Station and Mountain Heart band member Adam Steffey (mandolin), sideman extraordinaire Ron Stewart (banjo, fiddle), and newcomer Justin Moses (fiddle, dobro).
