The Bread and Puppet Theater is an internationally celebrated company that champions
a visually rich, street-theater brand of performance art filled with music, dance and
slapstick. Believing that theater is a basic necessity like bread, the company frequently
brings its work to the streets for those who may not otherwise go to the theater. Its
shows are political and spectacular, with puppets often on stilts, wearing huge masks
with expressive faces, singing, dancing and playing music.

Join us Saturday, October 18 from 5 to 6pm for a guided walkthrough and conversation with featured artist James M. Bond.

This Q&A explores the visual language, process, and themes behind In the Company of Paintings. Gain insights into the show’s immersive elements and the symbolism embedded in each piece.

Whether you are an artist, student, or enthusiast, this is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the creator and engage with the concepts behind the work. Seating is limited and early arrival is encouraged.

In this operatic adaptation of Henry James' chilling novella, the children of the Bly household eagerly welcome a new governess who initially finds them to be happy and well-adjusted. Soon, however, they begin to exhibit the strange behaviors of their former governess and valet. Both died in untimely accidents and now are appearing to the new governess as ghosts. Are the ghosts real? Did they do unspeakable things to the children? Or, is it all in her head? Contains adult themes and suggestions of sexual violence.

MAINSITE Contemporary Art is excited to announce "Wêwenetôni Shehkîtâkan: Ancestral Patterns Through Our Regalia" a group exhibition curated by Amber DuBoise-Shepherd. The show debuts with the opening reception on October 10 at 6:00 pm, coinciding with Norman's 2nd Friday Art Walk, and runs through November 14.

"Wêwenetôni Shehkîtâkani: Ancestral Patterns Through Our Regalia, is an exhibition influenced by my late grandmother, Adeline Ketcheshawno DuBoise, who was born for her people of the Prairie Band Potawatomi, Sac & Fox, Kickapoo, and Absentee Shawnee... For this exhibition I wanted to share her work alongside other Indigenous fashion designers, weavers, jewelers, and painters, each sharing their ancestral patterns of their people and their families... The clothing, woven belts, and jewelry they create are more than just objects admired for their skill and beauty—they are to be respected and honored, as they carry the ancestral patterns, designs, and memories of our people. I trust this exhibition will urge viewers to look and engage more deeply with our creations beyond the surface level of the materials. They let viewers know that these creations exist beyond the past and are rooted in memory continuing to carrying our families and our nation’s people forward"
