ASSASSINS @ The Spot
Start 2024 off with a bang! Grab tickets to our musical event of the season: ASSASSINS by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman. January 25-February 4 @ The Spot. ASSASSINS Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by John Weidman Directed by Yanna Lantz Music Directed by R.L. Rowsey A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim’s signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation’s culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America’s four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical “revusical” that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream. …

“On This Day”: Ways of Thinking About Daily Writing with Francisco Cantú
A workshop with Francisco Cantú, Writer-In-Residence at the Hemingway House this month. Space is limited. Registration required. This craft class examines the act of writing as a daily practice, the same way many of us engage in meditation, exercise, gardening, or playing music. Since writing often feels like a fraught, mercurial act, we will explore various prompts, practices, and ideas for sitting down to write with levity and ease, while also considering how writing on any given date has the power to connect us to what happened on that day throughout history, and to all the other writers who have sat down to write on the very same day. This class will include a packet of date-specific writing by Ross Gay, Eduardo Galeano, Christa Wolf, Nicholson Baker, and others. Francisco Cantú is a writer, translator, and the author of “The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches From the Border,” winner of the 2018 Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in nonfiction. A former Fulbright fellow, he has been the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a Whiting Award, and an Art for Justice fellowship. His writing and translations have been featured in The …

Hygge at the Library
Hygge (“hoo-ga”) is about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about – or even by yourself – to relax and enjoy life’s quieter pleasures. The Danish concept is many things, including an opportunity to unwind and take things slow. Drop in to The Community Library all week (Tuesday-Saturday) for hot cider, cookies, puzzles, games, coloring, crafts, and of course, reading! Quiet spaces can be found throughout the library, including by our fireplace, and the Lecture Hall will be set up as a place to gather and be cozy together. We’ll also be handing out free hand-knit scarfs. All are welcome!

Cooper Cox: Out Here
OCHI is pleased to present Out Here, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Cooper Cox. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Out Here will be on view at OCHI Sun Valley, located at 119 Lewis Street in Ketchum, Idaho from December 15, 2023 to February 24, 2024. An Artist’s Reception will be held on Thursday, December 28th from 4:00 to 7:00 PM MST. From a young age, Cooper Cox harbored a fascination with trees, often sketching them in the margins of his schoolbooks. Allured by their elegant forms and endurance, as well as by their symbiotic relationships with neighboring organisms, Cox’s newest paintings feature snags—large, coniferous, upright trees that appear lifeless but serve as essential habitats for wildlife long after losing their leaves and flowers. Like the first line in a charcoal drawing, snags appear exposed, revealing the history of their growth as slow, incremental adjustments rather than sudden change. Snags symbolize strength and adaptability—having survived shifting climates and human interventions, Cox’s snags can occasionally bloom soulful blossoms that reflect the emotional and physical changes of senescence. Physically immersed in each stage of the painting process, Cox begins by pushing paint across the …
