Join NOVA Program Director Lachrisa Grandberry for a six-week Writing Circle on revision. Learn to spot what isn't working, what to cut, deepen, move, or leave alone, and how to tell whether you're making your work different or better.
Drawing on David Rush's "Building Your Play" and Susan Bell's "The Artful Edit", you'll look at revision through the lens of playwrights and musical theatre writers.
🗓 Mondays on Zoom, 9:20–11:00 AM CT, through November 2

We are proud to present a touring production of "The Root Beer Lady" this November!
Written by Kim Schultz, "The Root Beer Lady" tells the story of the indomitable Dorothy Molter, the last legal non-indigenous resident of the Boundary Waters. The story reflects the beauty and hardships of Molter’s solitary yet satisfying life beginning in 1934. The play, funny and passionate, explores her independence, fortitude, and love of nature. Molter pushes back against the premise that her time in the North Woods made her the “Loneliest Woman in America,” as the Saturday Evening Post claimed in 1952. Kim Schultz is a nationally and internationally acclaimed writer, actor, and solo show artist working across mediums.
"The Root Beer Lady" marks Kim's third solo show. The tour is produced by Bourgoin Productions. Performances are November 5-7 at the Gould Theater.

Will Constance Goodwin be able to pay the mortgage?
Will Friederich von Fouler's true identity be revealed?
Will the raccoon prophecy of the golden sapphire come true?
Will the sidekicks finally be able to sing their inner most thoughts?
