About

The G-E-T Performing Arts Center is bringing award winning Dust City Opera for a public performance and a series of educational workshops with our students. The project includes 3 activities. The first are educational workshops with our music students including Songwriting, Wind-players, Brass-players, Percussionist and Music Business 101 workshops. The second activity is a public performance in our theater. The third activity is a meet and greet after the performance. The G-E-T PAC reaches several underserved audiences. As a rural community in Wisconsin, the people we serve have limited access to the arts. This includes the older population. We’ve started a program with our local assisted living facility to bring them to performances. The event also impacts our youth through the educational workshops. Finally, if we can qualify for a grant, we will be able to decrease the cost of tickets and be able to provide free tickets to economically disadvantaged community members.

    Inspired by Yang's The Latehomecomer to think about place both literally and metaphorically, we will provide a robust program including book discussions, writing prompts, public events, a writing retreat, and an open anthology call. The framework for thinking about place and identity holistically builds on Yang’s memoir’s structure, and the ways our place’s geology and topography affects ethology.
