| Oct 13 Church of Felons: A CAPTIVATING TRUE STORY OF ADDICTION, LOSS, AND REDEMPTION |
Wisconsin is the most addicted state in America. There’s no minimum drinking age. DUI offenders get a slap on the wrist – until tragedy strikes. Those who survive are branded as felons for the rest of their lives.
Church of Felons follows four recovering addicts in a rural Wisconsin church who agree to reveal hidden truths about their criminal pasts. When they speak the unspeakable, the shockwaves reverberate from their own families through the entire Polk County judicial system.
“…the path to hope is clearly lit by the makers of Church of Felons, who beg you to hear that ‘all is not lost.’” – The Amery Free Press
This film questions our perception of addiction and crime in America. With twists at the end you'll never expect, you may soon begin questioning what you believe.
This small town has a history of drug and alcohol abuse, and a justice system strictly bent on protecting victims. Now that they’ve cleaned up, it’s time to right their wrongs, and ask for a second chance. From meth manufacturing and distribution, to alcohol-fueled arson rampages, to vehicular homicide, these felons are begging for grace....
Are these felons lost to a life of condemnation? Can Wisconsin turn itself around?

| Oct 27 - Oct 29 Much Ado About Nothing |
| This Shakespeare comedy, "Much Ado About Nothing" is about two couples who's love stories are intertwined from the very beginning of the play. One story follows the formal, romantic relationship between two people. In order for these two people to wind up together it will take the involvement of their friends in the proposal. The second, follows the story of a more sarcastic couple who pretends that they do not want anything to do with one another for the majority of the show. They even go to the extent of saying that they never want to be married, until their friends help them to realize that they secretly have a love for each other. In the end, will this wind up as a traditional Shakespeare show with love and death, or just love? |

| Oct 29 Jim Falbo - Classical Guitar 10/29/17 |
Jim Falbo is an eclectic and accomplished classical guitarist, composer, instructor, performer, and music arranger from St. Paul, Minnesota. Jim's music has been featured on KBEM 88.5 Jazz FM, and on 99.5 KSJN Classical MPR, where radio host Steve Staruch described Jim as "a master of pluck." Jim started playing guitar at the age of 11 after growing up listening to Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, and many 90's alternative bands on the radio. His love of many forms of music developed into a passion for classical and acoustic guitar, when he studied with guitarist Dean Harrington at K and S Conservatory of music. Jim has received shining reviews and is well known as a "guitarist's guitarist" from audiences and musicians alike with an ability to play such a wide range of genres and styles. A wide selection of music is in Jim's repertoire, including classical European, Latin, pop classics, and some jazz standards. Jim is a high demand and award-winning performer and plays in many events including concerts, weddings, corporate events, and various other venues and events throughout the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest. Most recently Jim has performed at MPR's classical pop-up concert from the Fairgrounds, the Minnesota Guitar Society classical guitarathon, James J. Hill House, Cedar Cultural Center, and was the first act to perform at Hastings Arts Center when it opened in 2015. Jim has released four albums with his newest "Guitar Reveries' transcending musical boundaries with pieces from Spain and Brazil, combined with pop classics from the Beatles, and Elvis among others.
We are pleased that Jim will once again perform on our stage!
