SUMMARY:No Wake | Commonweal Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:With determination (and a bullhorn)\, retired professor Peter Michaels is on a mission to save the loons of Lake Winnipesaukee\, who are dying in record numbers. Meanwhile\, 19-year-old Sarah struggles to make ends meet by cleaning cabins. Over the course of a summer\, the unlikely pair slowly builds trust across a generational divide\, encouraging each other to shed the shadows of their pasts and honor those they cherish most. Our 38th season opens with a poignant charmer that ripples with humor and heart.

A cash bar will also be available. Guests are encouraged to come early or stay late to enjoy food\, drinks\, and conversation surrounded by art and music. \nThe Water Music season begins on Thursday\, November 13\, 2025\, with Water Music: Epic Journeys\, paired with the exhibition A Spectacle in Motion: The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World. The program will include Shostakovich’s Two Pieces for String Octet and Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings\, featuring guest violin soloist Nash Ryder and musicians from the Winona Symphony Orchestra and Apollo Chamber Music. \nThe second concert\, Water Music: Christmas Concertos\, will be presented on Thursday\, December 11\, 2025\, paired with Alexis Rockman: Oceanus.

This program will feature Zohn-Muldoon’s Destierros and Night and McKinley’s Ten Medieval Songs\, performed by guest artists Quince Ensemble and violinist Erik Rohde. \nThe season concludes on Thursday\, April 16\, 2026\, with Water Music: The Coast and the Sea\, paired with the exhibition The Coast and the Sea: Marine and Maritime Art in America.

Located in Winona\, Minnesota\, the purpose-built museum is located on the banks of the Mississippi River and boasts six galleries\, an educational and events space\, and a destination retail shop on its seven-acre riverside campus. It is through this surprising diversity that MMAM is not only describing what marine art is\, but pushing the boundaries of what marine art can be. \nThe Minnesota Marine Art Museum is an organizational member of the River Arts Alliance.
