We will be doing two presentations of
The Bones of Butterflies by Marcia Cebulska.
Read this carefully as this is not part of our regular Martin Tanner Tuesday series!
The Oct 28 performance will be in Topeka KS at the Topeka-Shawnee County Library as part of the Tonantzin Society's Dia de los Muertos festival. The show starts at 3:00pm that Sunday at the Library at 1515 SW 10th Ave. Topeka, Kansas
The Monday, Oct 29 performance will be at Californos Westport, 4124 Pennsylvania, Kansas City MO 64111. That reading will start at 7:30p.m. Why not enjoy dinner at Californos before the show? Call them directly at (816) 474-3848 to make a reservation for dinner.
About the play:
Zoe lives in the world of butterflies. When she kisses a stranger in the rain, patterns emerge, secrets unfurl, and butterflies fall from the sky. Do monarchs fly thousands of miles to Mexico because of some magnetic force or is it, as the locals say, that they are the souls of the departed returning for the Day of the Dead? The Bones of Butterflies is an exploration of forgiveness and the circle of life.
Directed by Richard Alan Nichols. Featuring Katie Kalahurka*, Jim Ramos, Teisha Bankston, Diane Bulan, Kathy Kane, Stephen Lerner, Kelsea McLean, and Curtis Smith.
Free. (Adult Fare)

Here's a sample:
* Spotlight on Jon Weimer: "It's not easy thing being an independent filmmaker. You have to deal with the lack of money and dearth of outside funding in these financially uncertain times. Or people who, when you tell them you're making an independent film, automatically think 'porn'." In this article by Kelly Luck, find out more about local filmmaker Jon Weimer.
* How to Train Your Child to Dance: "Because I encounter this question and situation on a regular basis, I am putting it down here in black and white what the truth is with regard to how dance training should - no, must - be done if you want your child to be a good dancer." Matthew Reinschmidt's article explains the proper way to get your student to learn to dance.
* A Few Good Tools for Friend-to-Friend Fundraising part 2: in the second part of this article from Idealware, learn more about robust tools and crowdsourcing options.
* Girls Nite Out Benefit for Alex's Lemonade Stand: "When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade - or so the saying goes. And that's exactly the mindset of Cindy Devine, the current president of Girls Nite Out-4-Breast Cancer." Learn about this fundraiser happening Oct 6 in this article by Angie Fiedler. You can also read the article at her blog - http://angiefsutton.wordpress.com/.
* The Music Beat: It's Time to Come Out of the Closet!: in the latest column by Jeanne Jasperse, we hear about local open mic options.
* Postcards from the Past: the Willis Wood Theatre: in this newest segment, Felicia Hardison Londré writes about a postcard from Kansas City's theatrical history.
