SUMMARY:High Noon: Hunting for Treasure in St. Louis History
DESCRIPTION:Researching local history is like doing archaeology: you dig through layers of material to uncover treasure—in this case\, previously undiscovered details about a person or event that bring your story to life. And that’s important because good history is\, fundamentally\, a series of factual but exciting stories that illuminate people’s motives and actions. Without such stories\, history can become dry\, even boring. Digging for those nuggets may sound tedious; you end up reading old newspapers\, letters\, journals\, and numerous meeting minutes. Sometimes\, those searches are fruitless. But there are also “aha” moments that make all this work worthwhile—and it’s some of those moments that O’Connor will talk about.

SUMMARY:That's What She Said
DESCRIPTION:Back at The Sheldon for a fourth year\, That’s What She Said is a one–night–only performance where every day women share their every day stories. This incredible cast of St. Louis–area women — your friends and neighbors — is saying some of the hard stuff right out loud. They will make you belly laugh\, possibly ugly cry and see a little of yourself in every story. We are here to amplify women’s voices\, foster empathy\, create community and build a space where women can be vulnerable\, brave and authentic. \nPLUS\, your evening doesn’t have to end when the show does. Your ticket includes the She Said Afterparty immediately after the performance. Join us in The Sheldon’s beautiful Konneker Room to connect with the cast and celebrate the performance. AND\, a portion of show proceeds will support St. Louis-area non profit organizations who are championing women’s causes in our region.

SUMMARY:High Noon: Martha's Daughter writing about Saint Louis
DESCRIPTION:David Haynes will discuss a piece of advice he often gives the writers he works with: “Think about how you can give your readers a better sense of where the story takes place. The characters in my stories and novels are strongly influenced by the places they live\, be that the streets of Saint Paul lined with craftsman cottages\, or\, in most cases\, many and various neighborhoods of Saint Louis City and County. How do writers think about evoking a place\, and how do the places we live in and love shape our imagination?” He will share some examples from his most recent collection\, Martha’s Daughter: A Novella and Stories.
