Race
By David Mamet

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet pulls no punches in this incendiary drama that cuts to the heart of prejudice, privilege, and the tangled intersections of race and justice. When a wealthy white man is accused of assaulting a Black woman, two lawyers — one Black, one white — must navigate a legal and moral minefield. As tensions mount and a new legal assistant enters the fray, unspoken assumptions and simmering biases erupt into sharp, unfiltered confrontation. Provocative, fast-paced, and unflinchingly honest, Race is a gripping exploration of the lies we tell others—and the ones we tell ourselves.

Staged Reading
Rating: R
Audience advisory: Race by David Mamet contains mature content, including explicit language, racial slurs, and frank discussions of race, sex, and power. The play is intentionally provocative and confrontational, designed to challenge perspectives and spark honest dialogue. It is not suitable for young audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.

RACE is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals servicing the Samuel French Inc. collection.

Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road-dog, raconteur, and almost-poet since before he can remember. In 1989 he spent a year in Ireland, busking on the streets of Dublin and hitchhiking to whatever gigs he could find. Back stateside, he spent a couple years gigging through the bars of his native Midwest before taking off for Boston, where he returned to subway busking and coffee houses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national touring. The wheels have not stopped since.

Twenty albums, one illustrated book, thousands of live performances, a TEDx talk, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Emmylou Harris and Chuck Prophet, appearances on NPR, an annual autumn tour by bicycle, emceeing festivals, hosting his own Lamplighter Sessions for years in Boston and in Wisconsin... he has built his life's work on collaboration, on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital.

The Best Way to Start Your Saturday.
The Tosa Farmers Market is a local not-for-profit organization that carefully curates the best, freshest foods in the region, but it’s more than that. It’s a community hub for foodies, cyclists, coffee-lovers, music fans, yogis, kids — and all their neighbors.

(For adults & teens) Ever wanted to try out bird watching but unsure where to start? Whether you’ve never birded before, are looking to improve your skills, or feel like you need a refresher, all are welcome to come learn the basics of birding. Everyone can be a birder!
Participants will learn how to use binoculars, keep track of their observations, how to identify common WI birds, and use a field guide. Binoculars and field guides will be available to try out and borrow during the workshop. This class will start inside with a classroom portion and then move outdoors for some late morning birding.

Start your Saturday with a refreshing 45-minute yoga flow on the lawn at Wanaki Golf Course in Menomonee Falls. This all-levels class is designed to help you move, stretch, and unwind in a beautiful outdoor setting.
After class, head to The Turn Bar & Grill to enjoy a beverage or brunch with a $5 voucher included in your registration.
Cost: $20 per person (includes class + $5 food/beverage voucher)

A yoga mat
Water
A signed waiver (available in advance or on-site)
