Now You See Me: Portraiture has long been a cornerstone of American art, evolving from grand oil paintings of colonial aristocracy to intimate photographic studies of everyday life. It has functioned as a mirror of social values-asserting power, legacy, identity, and aspiration. As the cultural landscape of the United States has shifted, so too has the definition of who gets seen, how they are seen, and by whom. The artists included - Vitus Shell, Aron Belka, and Gina Phillips - work in varied mediums and have unique processes, but their work has a common thread; their subjects defy the expected. Rather than portraying traditional icons of wealth or status, the artists depict friends, family, and strangers.

Open: Tuesday-Friday 10:00AM-5:00PM
Saturday 10:00AM-4:00PM

$5.00 Admission to the Museum

Step into the world of The Cat in the Hat and experience Dr. Seuss’s timeless classic come to life on stage! With its zany characters, imaginative storytelling, and playful humour, The Cat in the Hat is more than just a children’s book - it’s a cultural phenomenon. Adapted for the stage in 2009 by the National Theatre of Great Britain, this live show stays true to the original story. Join Sally, her brother, and their overprotective pet Fish as they meet the mischief-making Cat in his iconic red-striped hat on a rainy afternoon. What follows is an afternoon of fun, chaos, and valuable lessons about creativity and imagination!

Chair: Laura Crawford

Program: Cellist John-Henry Crawford will perform on his grandfather’s 200 year-old cello, telling the story of Dr. Robert Popper’s escape from Nazi Austria before Kristallnacht

"Almost, Maine"
by John Cariani

Apr 16-26

Romantic Comedy - Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.  Presented by City Park Players.  Directed by De’Anna Abigail and Jared Guillory.
