Lucy Ferriss & Repros For Iowa Emma Goldman Clinic Fundraiser, Press

Coffee, Iowa City, Saturday, March 4 at 5 p.m., $10 suggested donation

Join Prairie Lights and Repros for Iowa at Press Coffee for a special Emma Goldman Clinic fundraiser. Author Lucy Ferriss will be reading from her novel, The Misconceiver, which was published in 1997. The Misconceiver is a powerful novel of dystopia; it’s set in the United States in 2026 and Roe v. Wade has been overturned and abortion is banned. The novel has recently received renewed attention since the overturn of Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Ferriss is making multiple stops around the midwest this year sharing her novel and raising funds for bookshops and reproductive rights organizations. There is a $10 suggested donation at the door that will be donated to the clinic.

NiBeSaPaDaPaSo: Echoes of Ireland, Mirrorbox Theatre, Cedar Rapids, Friday, March 10 at 7:30 p.m., $20

Every March, the City of Cedar Rapids enjoys a rollicking event celebrating Irish heritage, the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade, hosted by the SaPaDaPaSo (St. Patrick’s Day Parade Society). This year, Mirrorbox Theatre is inviting you to start your Celtic revels a day early, on the Night Before SaPaDaPaSo! The company presents a reading of Brian C. Petti’s generational saga Echoes of Ireland. First performed in 2010, the play, a series of four monologues, follows an Irish family from 1860 in County Cork to New York City in the present day. Fiddler Marita May O’Connell will weave traditional tunes into the mix, and you can complete the illusion of Éire by knocking back a Lion Bridge Olde 17 Irish-style stout.
