Description: Harmonies on the Homefront
For Americans at home during the Great War, singing was a means of actively expressing patriotism in private and public settings. The National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial will explore music of the World War I era in a new exhibition called "Harmonies of the Homefront."
The pages of sheet music, which are part of the Museum's extensive collections, are brought to life in this multimedia exhibit. Visitors will view artistic sheet music covers and humorous lyrics, hear historical recordings and even have the chance to try out a few of the big "hits" of the era on a period piano.
Guest exhibition curator Dr. Kristin Griffeath is an Assistant Professor of Music at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Her recent research involves sheet music from World War I, and her thesis, "War Sirens: How the Sheet Music Industry Sold World War I," earned the 2012-2013 Distinguished Master's Thesis Award from UMKC. Griffeath explains what she hopes guests will take away from the exhibition:
"My hope is that people coming to this exhibit will gain a sense of who these Americans were. The songs echo across the almost one hundred years that separate these Americans from our generation, telling us why they fought, demonstrating how they maintained a sense of humor and patriotism in a time of great sacrifice and challenge, and voicing their concerns about how the war had changed the men and women who would return home. I can think of no better way to connect the iPod generation to this American history than to literally let them plug into and listen to the songs of the war."

Exhibition is included with the price of admission to the museum and Free for members.

Description: Dark Light: the Ceramics of Christine Nofchissey McHorse

Description: Brad Kahlhamer: Bowery Nation - Art Exhibit
Brad Kahlhamer's Bowery Nation installation brings together 100 katsina-like dolls and 22 birds made from a variety of materials. It speaks to the artist's Native American roots and his time spent with the creative community on New York City's Lower East Side.
The table-like construction of Bowery Nation resembles the form of powwow parade floats that carry dancers adorned in colorful feathered and beaded regalia. The structure was made from the artist's studio materials: an old painting table, saw horses, sheets of plywood, a step ladder and wooden benches.
A consistent theme in Kahlhamer's work is identity. He was born in Tucson of American Indian parentage, adopted into a family of German-American heritage and later raised in Wisconsin. Bowery Nation represents what he calls his "third place", the fusion of his personal identities and mythologies.

Description: You've Got a Friend: Music that Raised the Baby Boomers
As Americans found their voices in the 1960s - speaking out in movements, marches and protests - songwriters also found their voices. An industry previously ruled by big bands, movie stars and girl/boy groups now made the songwriter the star.
Baby Boomers searching for personal meaning in an era of turbulent change resonated with the stories of Bob Dylan, Carole King, Eric Clapton and Carly Simon.
Explore the impact on both pop culture and our history by the folk singer-songwriter and their songs.
Features a piano, bass and drums combo!

Description: American Buffalo
Winner of the Obie Award and New York Drama Critic's Best Play Award, American Buffalo tells the story of Don, Teach and Bob's struggle to get ahead. Centering on a scheme to recover a buffalo nickel recently sold from Don's Resale Shop, the three discover realities about business, leadership and ethics, all told from the petty theft view of the pursuit of the American Dream.
An almost unintentional companion piece to Death of a Salesman, American Buffalo takes a modern look at the underbelly of American capitalism in which every exchange including friendship has "business" written on it.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Contains mature themes and strong language; appropriate for ages 17 and up.

Description: Funky Mama in Concert
The ever popular Krista Eyler aka Funky Mama is back in concert at the Museum! Eyler's powerful blues-drenched voice sounds like she would be right at home anywhere: singing with any of the great soul singers of the '60s, belting out rock n' roll, taking the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, singing folksy jug band standards, belting one out with the best of Louisiana's Zydeco bands, or soaring over the top of a mesmerizing up-tempo gospel group. Mostly though, Funky Mama's music is just plain fun.
Funky Mama is energy personified. Rhythm is what gets kids' attention, and Funky Mama has it! She offers powerful singing for a generation of kids who don't often get to hear vocalists with the ability to project their voices while still retaining clarity of diction. Funky Mama has a big voice, and it's always easy to understand the lyrics.

Description: Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage
Miss Abigail's Guide to Daing, Mating, & Marriage is the story of Miss Abigail, the most sought-after relationship expert to the stars (think Dr. Ruth meets Emily Post), and her sexy sidekick Paco, as they travel the world teaching Miss Abigail's outrageously funny "how-to's" on dating, mating and marriage!
During this 90-minute comedy, you're guaranteed to laugh-out-loud and learn a thing or two...like how to have a perfect kiss (it's all about lip position)...what you should and should not talk about on a date (don't mention your troll doll collection)...and how to let a man think he wears the pants.
Let Miss Abigail take you back to a simpler time, before booty calls and before speed-dating...back when the divorce rate wasn't 50% and when "fidelity" was more than an investment firm!

Description: Great Big Broadway: The Rise of the BIG Broadway Musical
In the 1970s, Baby Boomers began looking for self-fulfillment, prompting writer Tom Wolfe to dub them the "Me" generation. American musical theatre followed suit, producing lavish, over-the-top spectacles to satisfy the public's desire for excess. "Bigger is better" became the mantra for Broadway.
From the early musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim to today's Broadway where witches, English nannies and webbed crusaders fly through the air, modern musicals are big, big, BIG!

This June, join Sugar Creek and its citizens as they pay tribute to their Slavic heritage in the only way they know how - with scores of heel-kicking dancers, ivory-toned riffs from squeezebox masters, and of course, pound upon pound of juicy Kielbasa.

-For a taste of traditional Croatian fare, order a roznijici (pork kabob) meal, with potato salad, slaw and a slice of bread. Or grab a kielbasa sandwich, hot dog or hamburger hot off the grill.
-Then feed your sweet tooth with povitica, kolache, strudel and a variety of other traditional Slavic baked goods. Treats so good you'll want to buy extras to take home!
-Plus, you can wash it all down with a cold beer, soda or other beverages.
ENTERTAINMENT:
Every year, the Sugar Creek Slavic Festival hosts a full schedule of entertainment highlighting their rich culture.
Traveling from Florida to headline this year's Slavic Festival will be Alex Meixner, a Grammy-nominated accordion master. Alex and his band will be bringing a high energy polka experience, mixed with unique takes on modern classics.
In addition to Meixner festival visitors will be able to experience traditional music and dance with the Sugar Creek Kolo Kids, Ethnic Dance Troupe Tamburitzans, village musicians and more!

The season closes with two genuine masterpieces - Mozart's sprightly Symphony No. 40 in G minor, a work deeply admired by Richard Strauss, and Strauss' monumental An Alpine Symphony, a composition of scope and grandeur worthy of the Alps themselves. Having established himself as one of the most masterful composers of all time, Strauss said after hearing the first performance of An Alpine Symphony, "at last I have learned to orchestrate." An Alpine Symphony will exploit the full acoustic resources of Helzberg Hall and will bring the season to a thrilling conclusion.

Description: Crimes of the Heart
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Beth Henley's Crimes of the Heart is a warm, irreverent, funny and touching drama about three passionate Mississippi sisters, who, in trying to escape their past, embrace their future.

Babe, the youngest, is out on bail having shot her husband in the stomach; Meg, the middle girl, is back in town from the west coast where her singing career fizzled; and Lenny, the oldest, faces diminishing marital prospects. Mix in Barnett, a young lawyer smitten with Babe and trying to keep her out of jail, and Chick their priggish cousin, and you have dark hilarity as the sisters try to escape their pasts in hopes of seizing their futures.

Description: Widespread Panic
Widespread Panic cut its teeth, like so many of its forebears, on the southern bar circuit, where winning fans and influencing patrons takes a unique combination of musical panache and from-the-gut persistence. John Bell and Michael Houser had spent the better part of five years writing, playing and racking up life experiences as collaborators and friends by the time the fully-coalesced band's first official show took place in 1986. From there, the Panic spread stealthily but immutably. Panic separated themselves from the crowd by working both ends of the sonic spectrum -- crafting tightly-wound and memorable songs and using those as jumping off points for improvisations that turn heads and then keep them bobbing.
