Wicca, Paganism, and Witchcraft Explored at Lifetree Café - Jan 24

<p>The beliefs and practices of Wiccans and pagans will be examined at Lifetree Café on Friday, Jan 24 at 12 pm.</p><p>The program—titled “The Witch Next Door: What’s the Appeal of Wicca and Paganism?”—features filmed interviews with self-identified pagans and a Wiccan who says she began exploring the religion as a teenager and still practices it today.</p><p>“I think what initially attracted me to Wicca was that it wasn’t the traditional patriarchal, standard American religion,” the woman says. “It was stepping outside of the box. There weren’t rules, and there wasn’t a man at the top.”</p><p>Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located Lutheran Church of the Resurrection - 3500 29th Ave - Marion, IA.</p><p>Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting.

The Agitators by Mat Smart

<p>"A must see... A powerful history lesson that needs to have a voice." - Rochester Democrat & Chronicle</p><p>Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. Young abolitionists when they met in the 1840s, they were full of hopes, dreams, and common purpose. This is the story of their 45-year friendship – from its beginning in Rochester to the highest halls of government. They agitated the nation, they agitated each other, and – in doing so – they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history. Presented in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of women’s suffrage – and in the midst of the Iowa Caucuses. </p><p>"The Agitators" by Mat Smart<br>Directed by Chris Okiishi<br>with Curtis M. Jackson (Frederick Douglass) and Jessica Link (Susan B. Anthony)<br><br>Sets: S.

The Seafarer by Conor McPherson

<p>It’s Christmastime for the Harkin brothers. <br><br>Sharkey returns to Dublin to help his brother after a freak accident blinds the older Richard. There’s drink, swearing, fights, and —perhaps worst of all— memories. The tension boils over during one of theatre’s most iconic poker games. And, since this is the work of Ireland’s Drama Desk, Tony, and Olivier Awards nominee, Conor McPherson, there is also something dark and troubling bubbling always under the surface.<br><br>With Jason Alberty, Dennis Barnett, Kerry Patrick, Tad Paulson & Greg Smith.<br><br>Directed by David Morton.</p><p>Veterans FREE Night Tuesday Jan. 21st!</p> 2020-01-24 22:30:00 -0600

Pinocchio

<p>Missoula Children’s Theatre presents an original adaptation of the classic fairy tale Pinocchio, featuring a cast of local youth. Geppetto fashioned the puppet in the image of a small boy. Even as the lonely and kind woodcarver worked far into the night, Geppetto was not aware that the wood under the chisel had come from the trunk of an enchanted tree. But the Blue Fairy was aware, as she watched from afar and gave to that puppet the gift of life. Join Pinocchio on his adventures as he learns that there are no shortcuts on the road to becoming a real, live boy.</p>
