We appreciate that the work being presented this season spans several disciplines and our goal is to provide access points so that the public can best engage with the work. To achieve this goal we will be hosting a series of artist talks to provide the public with greater context for the work and an opportunity to speak directly with the artists who create the work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When visiting our productions on Fillmore Ave please stop in early or stay late to enjoy the historic Polonia tavern at the Adam Mickiewicz Library &amp; Dramatic Circle or if we are at Silo City, visit our friends at Duende and enjoy a drink or meal beside the epic silos.
