Join The Center for its annual presentation of The Hootenanny in The Center Theater!

Once a year, the Hootenanny trades in its usual Monday-night venue in Moose, WY, and performs an in-town version of the long-running tradition. Talented pickers, founding performers, and long-time stalwarts take the stage to perform covers and originals – all acoustically.

The Hootenanny began in the 1950s and continues to be a home for some of Jackson’s best musicians. The Center’s yearly gathering allows Jackson-based talent to belt out their tunes on the large stage and share the magic captured in front on the Tetons.

Relative Theatrics is proud to present -in-chief by Ally Duvak in partnership with the UW Violence Prevention Center. The play runs September 11th through September 19th and will be performed in the Studio Theatre at the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts.

Play Description:
The editor-in-chief of a college newspaper manages a divisive Pennsylvania swing county newsroom as the impending 2016 presidential election looms over the United States. While all eyes are on the national stage, the editor-in-chief finds herself grappling with cataclysmic events much closer to home.
Described by playwright Gabriel Jason Dean as a display of Duvak's "beyond-her-years skill for building complex characters, a masterful use of dramatic irony, and an enviable ear for rhythmic, musical dialogue that crackles with wit, wisdom and complexity."
-in-chief is at once a clever comedy and a striking political commentary, keeping both in a fine balance.

Content Warning: This play includes heavy discussion of sexual assault. There are also allusions to homophobia, misogyny, and racism. There are no violent acts depicted onstage but they are referred to in conversation.

You’ll walk away from this session with clear, actionable metrics to assess your company’s current standing and a concrete framework to drive its value starting today.

Program: Crossbills and conifers: A 40-year obsession leads to new bird species
Cheyenne Audubon invites the public to a free talk, “Crossbills and conifers: A 40-year obsession leads to new bird species,” September 15 at 6 p.m. in the Sunflower Room at the Laramie County Library, 2200 Pioneer Ave.
University of Wyoming professor emeritus Craig Benkman is the author of “Crossbills and Conifers: One Million Years of Adaptation and Coevolution.” He will talk about how crossbills use their crossed upper and lower beaks to extract seeds and why there’s so much variety in size. One variation became the new species: Cassia crossbill.
Benkman is an evolutionary ecologist and ornithologist. He is a Fellow of the American Association of the Advancement of Science and received the E. O. Wilson Naturalist Award from the American Society of Naturalists and the William Brewster Memorial Award from the American Ornithological Society.
