Crazy About You: Sifting for Sanity in the History of the Insane – Central Square
June 9, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
FreeAfter the success of her crowd-pleasing concerts “Madams, Matrons, and Madwomen” and “’Oy Vey’ is Jewish for ‘Uff-da,’” award-winning songwriter Elisa Korenne shifts her attention to mental health. Her newest song-and-story concert combines original songs, stories, anecdotes, and music to examine the fine line between sanity and insanity and how it has shifted over time. If you enjoyed her mini-music-documentary videos on Prairie Public Television, you will love seeing Elisa Korenne live, performing her unique portraits of extraordinary people in history. As a bonus, this event will include childcare (pre-registration required), a special mini-concert for children, and a Q&A with the artist after the event. Come early for a character writing workshop. All events free to the public. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund.

4pm Writing Workshop (pre-registration required)
6:30pm Children’s Mini Concert
6:50 Childcare (pre-registration required)
