Neil Gaiman (l.) w/ M.T. Anderson at Midwest Booksellers Association trade show in 2009
Republicans now targeting a hard-working author for being too successful at what he does.
Star Tribune: GOP targets Legacy funds for MPR, arts
Neil Gaiman’s Journal: The Opinions of a Pencil-necked Weasel Thief…
This review is not targeted at the (justifiably) proud parents of the cast of 13, nor anyone else who has tickets to the show in hand. Rather, this review is targeted at those of you who, like me, peruse the schedule of Duluth’s many arts events and consider a Children’s Theatre productionas something to skip. Which would be a shame, because to miss this show is to miss one of the true delights of this year’s theatre season.
A classic from 1984.
When: Friday, May 6, 7-9pm.
What: An open drum circle for hand drums and percussion instruments. Un-facilitated free drumming to suit the soul. A brief (2 minute) candle lighting ceremony is held at the beginning of the event.
Where: 835 W. College St. (The Unitarian Universalist Church between UMD and St. Scholastica).
Who: Open to all abilities and intents. Open to all ages (but children should be supervised).
Why: For fun and enjoyment. To feed the spirit. To release the angst. To share and learn.
Cost: Free.
