THE CENTER'S MISSION: To enrich our community through transformative arts and educational experiences.
People often say, “It is such an interesting moment to be alive,” and it makes me wonder, when isn’t it?! Life is always interesting. Sometimes it is challenging, and at other times it is peppered with moments of profound joy. If you are paying attention, there is more than enough to pique your curiosity. It is our hope that The Center’s upcoming season will nurture that curiosity while delivering a few opportunities for pure joy. Our Performing Arts Series will punctuate your fall and winter with shared moments of celebration. Presenting five opportunities to experience fantastic musicians, the series includes a return visit from International Guitar Night, an evening with the Irish band Socks in the Frying Pan, and fiddling by Grammy award-winner Marc O’Connor. Each visiting musician is part of our Professional Artist Residency program, and each will spend time helping local students refine their techniques and understand the ins and outs of presenting to an audience. This year’s BIG IDEAS resonate powerfully if not urgently with the current moment of being alive. The 21st century has ushered in the recognition that point of view is as important as the content of any story. The Unreliable Narrator prompts us to consider ways the narrator’s voice determines what we learn and how we perceive an idea. During this BIG IDEA project, we also have the opportunity to participate in the development of a play (PAL by Tasha Gordon-Solmon) and the chance to hear from an award-winning journalist (James B. Stewart) about the threat that fake news presents to our democracy. This Land is Whose Land? shifts our focus to a conversation about refugees and how contemporary artists, city administrators and filmmakers grapple with how to welcome others into our communities. We will also hear from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen, and a play reading of a newly adapted The Diary of Anne Frank will remind us of the consequences of isolating a group of people. In the spring, we turn appropriately to a celebration of Bees and the essential role these tiny creatures play in our lives. The Center’s BIG IDEAS allow us to partner with organizations throughout the community. Together, we look forward to welcoming kids, families and friends to participate in films and lectures, concerts, exhibitions, hands-on art and science activities, and even a bee mini-musical! This is certainly an interesting moment to be alive, and it is an enormous privilege to offer opportunities to collectively investigate and celebrate just what being alive means. Join us!

JAMES B. STEWART
Truth Matters: How Fake News and False Statements Undermine America Thu, Oct 12, 2017 Church of the Big Wood, Ketchum, 6:30pm Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author James B. Stewart combines the skills of an investigative reporter with the style and sensibility of a novelist, examining events in finance, law and politics that shape American society. A former Wall Street Journal reporter and editor and a regular contributor to The New Yorker, Stewart is the author of multiple bestselling books. His latest book, Tangled Webs: How False Statements are Undermining America: From Martha Stewart to Bernie Madoff, analyzes America’s perjury trend, which he suggests is symptomatic of an ethical breakdown compromising the country’s judicial system as well as business, government, academia and medicine. A Harvard educated lawyer, Stewart is the Bloomberg Professor of Business Journalism at the Columbia Journalism School. Part of The Center's BIG IDEA project The Unreliable Narrator.
RUTH REICHL
Protect What We Eat Thu, Feb 8, 2018 Church of the Big Wood, Ketchum, 6:30pm Bestselling author, food critic, and judge on Bravo's Top Chef Masters, Ruth Reichl is one of the most recognizable and beloved culinary voices, guiding people around the kitchen, showing them what to eat, how to cook and where to satisfy their cravings. Reichl has been the Editor in Chief of Gourmet Magazine, the restaurant critic of The New York Times and both the restaurant critic and food editor of the Los Angeles Times. Reichl is the author of several bestselling memoirs and cookbooks, including Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table, Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise, and My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes that Saved My Life, named best cookbook of the year and one of the best books of the year by Amazon. Currently, Reichl is working on her fifth memoir. Her ten episode PBS show, Gourmet’s Adventures with Ruth, highlighted her trips to the best cooking schools on five continents. Born and raised in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Reichl moved to Berkeley, California, in the early 1970s, where she played an integral role in America’s culinary revolution as chef and co-owner of The Swallow Restaurant. Part of The Center's BIG IDEA project Bees. Ruth Reichl's lecture has been generously sponsored by Susan and Ron Greenspan.
VIET THANH NGUYEN
An Evening with Viet Thanh Nguyen Thu, Mar 8, 2018 Church of the Big Wood, Ketchum, 6:30pm Award-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen continues to gain recognition for his bold, elegant, and fiercely honest writing. His remarkable debut novel, The Sympathizer, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2016 and made the finalist list for the 2016 PEN/ Faulkner award. His collection of short stories titled The Refugees was released in 2017. Nguyen and his family came to the United States as refugees during the Vietnam War. As he grew up in America, he began to notice that most movies and books about the war focused on Americans while the Vietnamese were silenced and erased. He was inspired by this lack of representation to write about the war from a Vietnamese perspective. The New York Times says that his novel, “fills a void…giving voice to the previously voiceless while it compels the rest of us to look at the events of forty years ago in a new light.” His voice is refreshing and powerful as he urges readers to examine the legacy of that tumultuous time and its aftermath from a new perspective. He is currently the Chair of the English Department at the University of Southern California where he is also an associate professor of English and American Studies and Ethnicity. Part of The Center's BIG IDEA project This Land is Whose Land? Viet Thanh Nguyen's lecture is presented in partnership with The Community Library and has been generously supported by an anonymous gift and Marcia & Don Liebich.

22 YEARS OF THEATRICAL EXCELLENCE | AWARD-WINNING THEATRE IN THE HEART OF IDAHO
BRIGHT HALF LIFE by Tanya Barfield
Sep 27–Oct 14, 2017 Liberty Theatre, various times BRIGHT HALF LIFE is a stunningly human and humorous depiction of a life in love. In Tanya Barfield’s nonlinear, intimate play, Vicky and Erica navigate the peripatetic present through a lifetime of courtship and marriage, kids and parents, death and divorce, Ferris wheels and skydiving, in a moving story that spans decades in an instant.
STRIKING 12
by Brendan Milburn, Rachel Sheinkin & Valerie Vigoda Dec 14–31 2017 Liberty Theatre, various times Inspired in part by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Match Girl, STRIKING 12 tells the story of an overworked New Yorker who resolves to spend New Year’s Eve alone in his apartment, when an unexpected visitor brings some much needed hope and cheer. This uniquely musical urban fairytale, co-written by Tony Award-winning book writer Rachel Sheinkin (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), springs to life through an eclectic score by Valerie Vigoda and Brendon Milburn of the indie band, GrooveLily, that combines rock, jazz, pop and showtunes to weave three stories and settings—contemporary New York City, 19th century Denmark, and the very room in which the show is presented in Hailey—into one magical, rock-tastic, playful, family-friendly holiday event. Striking 12 is generously sponsored Arrow R Storage.

THE UNRELIABLE NARRATOR Sep 1–Nov 24, 2017
Gina Phillips
The Unreliable Narrator considers the power of the narrator who may not be trustworthy: a storyteller who misleads, or perhaps misunderstands the events unfolding in the course of a story, or asks the reader to construct their own narrative structure as they read a book, watch a play or film, or look at a work of art. How do we know when we can believe the story we’re being told? Visual Arts Residency for The Unreliable Narrator is generously sponsored by Jennifer E. Wilson.

THIS LAND IS WHOSE LAND? Jan 26–Mar 31, 2018
Angie Smith
This BIG IDEA project considers the United States’ relationship to the international refugee crisis. What role should our country play in resettling refugees? The Center tackles this project in large part because of Idaho’s history of resettling refugees. More broadly, how do we define who has access to a particular place (a neighborhood, a town, a country), who doesn’t, and who gets to decide?

2017 Fall Featured Classes
ART HISTORY LECTURES:
THE AZTECS, CONQUEST & EARLY COLONIAL ART OF MEXICO with Dr. Courtney Gilbert (2-Part Series) Thu, Sep 14 & Sept 21 The Center, Ketchum, 5:30pm $10/$12 nonmember (per lecture)
The first lecture, on Sep 14, will focus on the art and architecture of the Aztecs, who flourished in what is now Central Mexico from approximately 1350 to 1521. Using the broader context of the Aztecs' complex and sophisticated society as a framework, the talk will highlight key examples of Aztec sculpture, illustrated codices and urban planning, including Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire (now Mexico City). The second lecture, on Sep 21, will begin with the arrival of the Spanish in Tenochtitlan in 1521, and the impact their conquest had on art and architecture throughout the remainder of the sixteenth century. How did native artists incorporate European styles, imagery and materials into their work? How did they resist their Spanish Colonial rulers?
