The Guide

Oh, Mary! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).

Declared "one of the best comedies in years" by The New York Times, it was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It's for adults.

It will be a morning celebrating curiosity, creativity, and the exciting possibilities of STEM! Designed for elementary and middle school students and their families, this free event offers opportunities to meet inspiring women working in STEM, hear about their career journeys, and participate in hands-on activities.

There will be a Women in STEM panel and Q&A, followed by interactive STEM stations where participants can explore coding, robotics, engineering, 3D printing, drones, chemistry, and more. Community partners will also be on hand with additional hands-on activities and educational resources.

The event is free with registration. Doors open at 8:30 a.m., with programming beginning at 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. Registered participants who arrive by 9 a.m. may stay and play at DISCOVERY Children’s Museum free of charge following the event.

These sculptural works by Wisconsin artist Amanda Langer ask the viewer to consider the relationship between humanity and the natural world. She explores the nature of conflict as a simplification between two entities that are wildly different and appear to have nothing to do with each other. She questions how the differences between the materials reflect the differences that humans experience, whether that be within individual selves, between persons, or amidst groups–whether in terms of race, religion, or political ideology.

Curious about how people identify each material with extremes on a spectrum, Langer attempts to show that the differences do not have to be in conflict and that it might be to the highest benefit of both that the differences exist, to show how the unique features of each enhance the best parts of the other, and that by being in combination, the result is much more powerful than either one could be on its own.

Amanda Langer studied sculpture and natural resources at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2017. She spent the following years working in ecological restoration and landscaping with native plants. Her artwork is informed by her experiences in this field and is especially focused on exploring conflict between industry and nature, systems and people, and within the self.
