Watch introspective new play, “Squirrel is Alive”

I urge all to see the new play adapted by Judy Myers from the book, “Squirrel is Alive,” about the tribulations of a young Belgian woman who courageously used her willpower to outwit the Nazis in World War II and work for the resistance. The tale shows how one person can attempt to right the wrongs occurring around her, despite the dangers she encounters. The story is augmented with projections of family pictures, period music, and other historic events, including Eisenhower’s D-Day talk to the soldiers. These backdrops help the audience imagine life in those times, along with the horrors and sounds of war. Squirrel’s 1940s story is the real tale of a woman who ended up in Southeastern Minnesota. The play connects the need to take a stand against our modern atrocities and should make one think about how we can take action in our times. We are also lucky to have the premiere of this play in Winona. Kudos to Judy Myers for this introspective work.

This Wisconsin Museum Is Packed With Vintage Cars And Every Kid Wants To Come Back

A recreated drive-in movie theater sits inside a car museum, and it plays classic films. That alone had me hooked. It honors a real drive-in that lit up local summer nights from 1949 to 1978. The cars are the main event, of course. The lineup runs from a 1911 Ford...

Mayo Stage Door raves about Chicago

From November 19th through the 22nd, Mayo Stage Door will present “Chicago Teen Edition,” directed by Mrs. Amy Monson, with assistant directors Jennifer Humke, Aaron Cole, Troy Kowalski, and Megan Shelley. The production is filled with murder, jazz, and a surprising amount of whimsy. The company is working hard to make sure that lights are in place, costumes are on point, and voices are in tune. Most people assume that theater just comes together eventually, with classic sayings like “the show must go on,” but student leaders working behind the curtain know that there’s a lot more work to be done than what meets the eye.

This Rochester Craft Store Keeps Minnesota Makers Stocked With Yarn, Frames, And Fresh Ideas

Yarn, custom framing, holiday villages, and parade-float supplies all fit under one roof. That alone made me curious about this busy craft shop in southern Minnesota. It opens at 9 most mornings and stays open until 9 at night. That means a late-evening glitter emergency doesn’t have to wait until tomorrow.
