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.

SUMMARY:High Noon: Women Reformers and Engineers Clean up US Cities\, 1890s to WWII--Pamela E. Mack\, retired historian of science and technology\, Clemson University
DESCRIPTION:In the late 19th and early 20th century\, white women made significant inroads into scientific and technical careers\, only to be pushed out in the 1930s and 1950s. One group of women experts developed out of the settlement house movement and worked on sanitary garbage disposal\, sewage treatment\, and water purification. These women engineers were part of a reform movement that argued that it was women’s work to clean up cities as well as homes\, for the health of their families and those of other women. What might we re-learn from their commitment to technology to serve the public good?

SUMMARY:High Noon: DAILY LINES--Sophie Binder\, St. Louis designer\, illustrator and rock climber
DESCRIPTION:Sophie Binder points out that at the onset of the pandemic\, we all started to live in a different world. Mother Nature\, reminding us of its power\, was sending us a harsh call to reality\, asking us to hit a reset button. Isolation became a daily truth\, and we all had to find ways to cope. Art has always been this outlet for Sophie. In March 2020\, her mom passed away at a distance of more than 4\,000\, adding to the emotional burden. She found refuge in the daily discipline–and joy–of sketching daily. It let her look at each little thing in a new light\, always sketchbook in hand–a simple daily chronicle of very unusual times. She first thought she would try to keep up with it for a month. Then it was a year … then the days of total isolation were no more\, but no matter\, it had become something somewhat sustaining\, a comfort\, a small daily sense of accomplishment. Then it was two years … then three … then four. It has now been 1785 days and counting…. She will show slides and talk about the exercise of this daily routine–personal and somewhat more “global\,” and some of its unexpected outcomes. She will also share some of her sketchbooks.

SUMMARY:Arianna String Quartet: Kreutzer Sonata
DESCRIPTION:Beethoven’s famous composition the “Kreutzer Sonata” figures prominently in a story by Leo Tolstoy. The Czech composer Leos Janacek later wrote a String Quartet based on Tolstoy’s novella. The interplay between these creative geniuses has created a fascinating artistic conversation that goes from music to literature and back again\, exploring concepts of love\, jealousy\, murder\, and remorse. For this discussion and performance\, the Arianna String Quartet will be joined by Washington University Russian Literature specialist Nicole Svobodny to delve more deeply into Tolstoy’s work\, and then to see how Janacek’s vivid retelling actually expresses different aspects of the same drama\, painting a more complex picture of the characters’ relationships.
