For this opening session of The Philosophers' Café UWGB Lecturer in Philosophy Robert Riordan will lead a discussion on "The Examined Life in a Distracted Age." What did Socrates mean when he said the unexamined life isn't worth living—and can we even manage it in an age built to distract us? We’ll examine one account of what it means to live an examined life, why that's so important to us, and the challenges our present age of distraction poses to it. The Philosophers' Café brings university students and community members together for rich conversation in an unusual format. Led by UWGB Philosophy professor Robert Riordan, each discussion will feature a theme relevant to "The Examined Life." Following from Socrates' famous dictum, "the unexamined life is not worth living," what does it mean to live an examined life? These discussions are free and open to the public, giving community members a chance to participate in one of the features of an ongoing philosophy course. For students, the Philosophers' Café…

Drawing from his lived experience (Memoirs: Modern Jungles and Bamboo Son), Dr. Pao Lor offers insight into the Hmong people’s journey from a complex, resilient, and often vulnerable culture in the remote regions of Laos during the 1960s and 1970s to becoming an integral part of American society and the global landscape. He examines five pillars of the Hmong American experience: an ancient culture, American allies, refugees, American neighbors and citizens, and the transformation of an ancient culture. Dr. Lor also explores their cultural evolution through four key markers of the rise of a civilization: village life, town life, city life, and mega-city life. Throughout the presentation, participants are invited to engage in dialogue and ask questions, situating the Hmong experience within broader contemporary challenges such as immigration, forced migration, diversity, globalization, refugees, displaced peoples, and related issues.

The Last Class is a nuanced and deeply personal portrait of master educator and former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich teaching his final course and reflecting on a period of immense transformation, personally and globally. Now, after over 40 years and an extraordinary 40,000 students, Reich is preparing for his last class. Over the course of the film, Reich confronts the impending finality, and his own aging, with increasing candor, introspection, and, ultimately, emotion. He displays a rawness of feeling he has never shared publicly before. Drawing on his lifetime in politics, he uses his class, “Wealth and Poverty,” to offer us all a deeper look at why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly since the late 1970s, and why this poses dangerous risks to our society. One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on the UC Berkeley campus, the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that the world has to stay the way it is.

Mike Maimone: Guess What? I Love You Book & Album Release Tour
On tour in support of his fifteenth album and debut memoir, both called Guess What? I Love You, piano-playing singer-songwriter Mike Maimone chronicles the profound love story he shared with his late husband, legendary publicist Howard Bragman, a prominent LGBTQ+ advocate and Hollywood publicist. The one-man show combines solo-piano performances from the new album with short readings from the book, which received recommendations from Kirkus Reviews and BookLife, a division of Publishers Weekly, and endorsements from Don Lemon, Anthony Scaramucci, and other best-selling authors. Los Angeles Magazine said, “Together, the album and memoir form a single work—an exploration of love’s endurance and an invitation to remain open to connection and possibility.” Written with candor and warmth, Guess What? I Love You weaves humor, heartbreak, spirituality, and healing through words and music. On his release tour, Maimone invites audiences—especially those navigating grief—to keep their hearts open, embrace the full…

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.

Hadestown
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.

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.
