July 27 – 7:00pm:  Jane Rhoads - Kansas Opera Houses and Community Events

From melodrama to Shakespeare, from church socials to high school commencements, the opera houses of Kansas made significant contributions to the social and cultural fabric of our state.  Tonight we take a look at how the opera houses emerged from plain second-story rooms to the elaborate theaters of larger communities, and how some renovated opera houses are once again serving as community cultural spaces.  (A Kansas Humanities Council presentation)

August 24 – 7:00pm:  Meet Charley Green – The Will Rogers of the Plains  Author, entertainer and part-time cowboy, Charley Green doesn’t profess to being a Will Rogers impersonator, just a story teller who’s been influenced and inspired by Will Rogers.  Join us as he shares some of the famous quotes and stories about Will Rogers, as well as some of his own stories, maybe a song or two and some cowboy poetry.

Sept 28 – 7:00pm:  Program information not available at time of printing.
