Foraged, is a collaboration between textile artist Annabella Sardelis and visual artist Annie Irene Hejny, two artists who have dedicated their lives to celebrating the natural beauty of Minnesota in their art. Their unique artistic process involves months of foraging for local plants to create natural dyes and pigments that grow abundantly around the Twin Cities. Foraged will premiere Hejny's first body of abstract paintings created exclusively with handmade natural pigments rather than manufactured acrylic alongside Sardelis' new line of wool scarves and an installation of sample specimens that the two women have collected on their journey.

Mixed Precipitation presents Hit the Wall by Ike Holter
Mixed Precipitation is thrilled to present the Minnesota premier of this incredible play. With a team of queer artists, we're honoring our brave and bold ancestors who continued the queer liberation saga. It'll be fun, dangerous, fabulous, and heartfelt.
It's the summer of '69 and the death of music icon Judy Garland has emboldened her LGBTQIA+ followers. A routine police raid on an underground Greenwich Village hotspot erupts in to a full-scale riot, the impetus of the modern gay rights movement. That's the well-known, oft-rehearsed myth of Stonewall, anyhow. Remixing this historic confrontation reveals ten unlikely revolutionaries, caught in the turmoil and fighting to claim "I was there."
This is the third production in The Southern's AMPLIFY Series.
AMPLIFY: to make larger, greater, stronger: to increase in strength. The AMPLIFY series gives artistic voice and platform to underrepresented stories in the arts.
Cast: Ricky Morriseau, Commarrah Jewelia Bashar, Nora Rickey, Michael Terrel Brown, Martino Mayotte, Jillia Pessenda, Asher Edes, Ben Resman, Nick Manthe, Domino D'Lorion
