2026-03-21 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-22 14:00 - 16:00 | The ARC, 255 Main St., Winona, MN, 55987, United States
This compilation of plays offers audiences a dynamic theatrical experience that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Through humor, satire, and emotional depth, the plays create space for laughter alongside difficult conversations about disability, grief, bodily autonomy, gun culture, faith, aging, and second chances. Each story invites viewers to see the world through perspectives they may not share, fostering empathy and reflection without sacrificing wit or theatrical imagination. Because the pieces range in tone (from intimate and personal to satirical) they keep audiences engaged while encouraging them to examine their own assumptions about identity, connection, and responsibility. This showcase offers compelling storytelling and the opportunity to join in meaningful dialogue after the show!
