Man of La Mancha is one of the world’s most popular musicals. Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-century masterwork Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition, the original 1965 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial during the Spanish Inquisition. He and his fellow prisoners perform a play-within-a-play, telling the story of the elderly Alonso Quijana, who renames himself “Don Quixote” and goes on a quest to right all wrongs in the world. The rousing, Spanish-inflected score includes the classic numbers “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Dulcinea,” “I Really Like Him” and “Little Bird.”

Dr. Sabina Cvecek, Field Museum, Austrian Academy of Sciences

National AIA Lecture

Were communities in prehistoric Greece matriarchal, matrilineal, or simply centered around women? In this talk, Dr. Cveček revisits that long-standing question, exploring what different types of archaeological evidence—from settlement patters to figurine use—can reveal about gender and family life in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age Aegean.

Both Jazz Ensembles, all four Jazz Combos, and the Gonzaga Jazz Singers will perform a selection of music for this sampler concert.

This interactive installation features poetry from people on their healing journey after domestic violence paired with artwork by local artists. At each of the 15 stations that are displayed along a scenic walking path, you’ll find conversation prompts designed to spark meaningful dialogue about what healthy and unhealthy relationships can look like.

We hope you engage friends and family in this rewarding experience any time this October in Riverfront Park. Take a walk, start a conversation, and see what happens.

Jim Zimpel, Associate Dean of the College of Arts & Architecture and an Associate Professor of Sculpture + Extended Media at Montana State University in Bozeman presents a visual art exhibition in the discipline of Sculpture at the SFCC Fine Art Gallery. Zimpel states, “My work constructs factual and imaginary entry points and rituals-they are the means to process, explore and understand things that are actually, or perceived as, inaccessible.”

A fall festival for all ages, but we can't help but to cater to young imaginations. We're not like most farms on Green Bluff! At Siemers Farm Fall Festival you'll find surprises around every corner with tricky corn and hedge mazes filled with a mission to get the secret message to find the princess, rouge pirates and a life-size pirate ship playground, and end with the King James Knighting ceremony. In the pumpkin patch you'll find delights that will make you smile such as "town" themed destinations to explore! See a full list of our activities on our social media (FB & IG) such as FREE line dancing lessons, Good Witches Shows, and vendor demonstrations. For all of this and more, we do require an entry fee - so come make a day of it - you absolutely will not be disappointed.
