THEATRE PRODUCTION: The Mushroom Picker

DATE: Sunday, July 12
TIME: 7:00pm
COST: $10

ArtHaus is pleased to present this one-man show, which has received rave reviews around the country. Patrick Dewane tells the true story of his Czech-American grandfather, Matt Konop, a man whose peculiar CB handle during the 1970s, "The Mushroom Picker," was really a clue to his incredible story as a WWII soldier fighting in the forests of his family's ancient homeland. The Mushroom Picker chronicles an astonishing journey in a multi-media production hailed by the Smithsonian Institute as, "Extraordinary. Impossible to forget."

FIRST FRIDAY: Spontaneous Art Instalation

DATE: Friday, August 7
TIME: 8:00-10:00 pm
COST: FREE!

It's the weekend after Nordic Fest. Your company has left and you’re still recovering from that extra helping of rommegrot. You hosted last weekend so come to our Haus for First Friday! Back by popular demand, it's an interactive art installation of YOUR ART. We'll provide live music, hooks on the walls, and glasses. You bring that bottle leftover from Nordic Fest, and a piece of your own art to hang on the wall-- or just come and enjoy, as the exhibit creates itself with each new artwork.
