Hot Mulligan brings their raw emo energy and anthemic hooks to The Criterion on November 13.

Based on Lois Lowry's novel, The Giver is a dystopian story about the power of memory.

The Grand Kyiv Ballet company returns with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs based on Grimm Brothers fairy tale of the same name, set to the musical motives of the Polish composer Bogdan Pavlovsky.

This is an absolutely stunning performance that will be of interest not only for young spectator, but also for adults, what means that everyone will be happy to plunge into a fantastic atmosphere that will be filled with dance, fairy tale, good humor and acting, bright costumes, decorations and even a beautiful love story.

Noble High School Theater presents The Giver, a stage adaptation of the dystopian novel. 12-year-old Jonas is selected to be his community's Receiver of Memory, an honor reserved only for someone brave and wise enough to hold memory of what society was like before color and emotion were eliminated. But when Jonas discovers a horrifying truth, he becomes determined to return his society back to the way it was before.

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"
