The “Monfils 6” case is one of the most notorious murders in Wisconsin history. It refers to the murder of Thomas Monfils at the James River paper Mill in Green Bay, which led to the conviction of six of his coworkers and is arguably the most immediately-recognizable tale in Wisconsin true crime lore. But there are so many more reprehensible local deeds to explore! Join us on Saturday, September 26, from 1-2:30PM in the Balkansky Community Room for “Wisconsin True Crime Uncovered with Authors Steve Daniels & Joe Verdegan. Daniels—a 27-year veteran of the Department of Corrections and criminal profiler—and Verdegan—a best-selling author who worked nearly three decades on the front lines of the often-dangerous Green Bay maximum security correctional institution—will dissect the controversial Wisconsin homicides, from the Monfils case to Harry Hebard (the Badger State’s first documented teenage mass murderer) and others, as well as the “Six Types of Murder.” Following Steve and Joe’s presentation, attendees will…

Ballet Hispánico’s CARMEN.maquia
Hailed as a “masterpiece” by the Chicago Sun-Times, CARMEN.maquia is a Picasso-inspired contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic from the famed – and familiar to Fox Cities audiences – Ballet Hispánico dance company.
The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble and flamenco. A stunning set design by Luis Crespo and minimalist black-and-white costumes by fashion designer David Delfin evoke the paintings of Pablo Picasso. Highly original and full of elaborate partnering, CARMEN.maquia is a bold and electrifying reimagining of this tragic tale.

COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE.
Welcome to HADESTOWN, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album, this acclaimed show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always.
HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

The Accidental Hero
What began as a forgotten manuscript in a basement became a story that transcends borders and generations.
Patrick Dewane’s grandfather, Lt. Col. Matt Konop, led the unit that liberated Southwestern Czechoslovakia in 1945—unaware that he was stepping into the very region his ancestors had emigrated from. Speaking the native Czech dialect, he was hailed by the townspeople as a liberator “from among us.” Today, his name appears on a monument in the Czech Republic, and his image hangs on plaques both abroad and in his hometown of Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Patrick transformed this remarkable legacy into a one-man multimedia performance that has captivated audiences across the U.S. and Europe.
