Thursday April 22 ? Staged Reading
Nocturne by Adam Rapp
$10 Suggested Donation
"Nocturne is a beautiful, moody work about a man reflecting on a life marred by the accidental killing of his sister, and it does have the feel of a long dramatic monologue, in which Rapp's gift for exquisite, well-balanced sentences serves him well."
-Jack Helbig. Copyright ? American Library Association

Gileah and The Ghost Train on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads
For our first Dark House concert, the Rep welcomes Gileah and the Ghost Train to our stage, featuring singer/songwriter Gileah Taylor and guitarist Ava Quigley.
"Gileah and The Ghost Train write songs about doubt, faith, sin, heartbreak, love, and redemption. Gileah?s biggest influences are literary; Flannery O?Connor, Thomas Hardy, and George MacDonald. Gileah Taylor's music sounds like something half-remembered from a dream." -cdbaby.com

Mounted the new projector yesterday. The images look awesome! Be sure not to miss any of the movies, or any of the readings or music, of course.

The Dark House series is back tonight with the documentary, Fall From Grace. The director will be in attendance to answer questions and discuss the making of this important film.

The film centers around Rev. Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church. Once known for protesting anything homosexual, they've moved on to protesting the funerals of fallen soldiers with signs like "Thank God for Maimed Soldiers." A family of fallen soldier, Matthew Snyder, sued the Westboro Baptist Church for protesting at their son's funeral and won. The decision was overturned in March, because it was said the Snyders infringed on Fred Phelp's First Amendment rights...making the Snyders pay the Westboro Church's court costs. Now the case is going to the Supreme Court.

Here's what they said in the news and media...

Doors open at 7:00. Film starts at 7:30. Tickets $10
