SUMMARY:Momotaro: The Peach Boy of Japan - performance and cultural activities
DESCRIPTION:Prior to performances of “Momotaro: The Peach Boy of Japan”\, there will be a festival of games and cultural activities for families and a presentation on Japanese settlers in Nebraska by Vickie Sakurada Schaepler. \nThe games and cultural activities will be at 6pm on Nov. 22 and 1 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Omaha Jewish Community Center (JCC) – Eisenberg Gallery. \nThe presentation by Vickie Sakurada Schaepler will be in the Omaha Jewish Community Center (JCC) – Alan J. Levine Theater before the performances of “Momotaro” on Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. \nTickets are $20 in advance\, $24 at the door. For more information\, or to buy tickets\, visit https://circletheatreomaha.org/mainstage-season/ . \nMomotaro is a beloved Japanese folktale about a boy who is miraculously born from a giant peach. An elderly\, childless couple discovers the peach floating down the river\, and when they try to eat it\, it splits open to reveal a baby boy inside. They name him Momotaro\, meaning “Peach Boy\,” and raise him as their own.  As he grows up\, Momotaro becomes strong and brave. When he learns about a band of ogres who are terrorizing nearby villages\, he sets out on a journey to defeat them. Along the way\, he befriends a dog\, a monkey\, and a pheasant by offering them delicious millet dumplings and they join him on his quest.  Together\, they travel to Oni Island\, work as a team to outsmart and defeat the ogres\, and return home victorious\, bringing back treasure and peace to the land.  The story is narrated in the traditional clown style by beloved Japanese figures\, with iconic tricksters bringing chaos and cleverness along the way.

SUMMARY:Latin Flavor Cook-Along with Elie’s Chinchorro
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Voices AMPLIFIED! series\, Omaha Performing Arts is presenting a virtual cook-along program with a side dish of cultural conversation. \nElie of Elie’s Chinchorro will share how to make Mofongo con carne frita\, a beloved Puerto Rican dish that represents culture\, flavor\, and resilience. It’s a dish full of tradition and pride\, often enjoyed during special gatherings with family and friends. \nRegistration is required to receive the recipe and link to access the virtual presentation. The suggested ticket price is $10\, but options to pay more or less are available\, including a free ticket for people for whom cost is a barrier. \nFor more information\, visit the O-pa Voices AMPLIFIED website. \nElie Berchal started selling the food of her heritage out of necessity—she lost her job and had two kids in college and two more in high school. Berchal first started the business out of her home\, taking part in pop-ups\, street festivals\, and farmers markets. After a couple of years of hard work\, the family opened a restaurant across from the old Lo Sole Mio location on 36th Street. In June 2024\, the Berchal family moved into their new home at 16th and Cuming\, serving dishes that\, as she describes\, come from cooking with their hearts.

SUMMARY:EnChanted Images: The Voice of Sainte-Foy at Conques
DESCRIPTION:Across nearly a thousand years\, the Romanesque church of Sainte-Foy of Conques in France calls us to a bygone era of faith and sound. Martyred at thirteen for refusing to renounce her beliefs\, Sainte-Foy defied Roman authority and died for her faith\, becoming one of medieval Europe’s most powerful saints. In the eleventh century\, monks transformed her shrine into a bustling pilgrimage site through architecture\, sculpture\, and music. This program presents medieval chants from Sainte-Foy’s Festal Liturgy—heard again for the first time in modern performance—accompanied by images of the golden statue that houses her relics. \nPre-Concert Talk and Documentary 6:00 PM\nConcert 7:00-8:00 PM\nQ&A with the Audience to Follow \nFree registration is required. Free parking in Lot E with reservation. Click here to register. \nFor more information\, visit the event website.

We’ll also explore work by writers like Joy Harjo\, Aimee Nezhukumatathil\, Porsha Olaywiola\, and others. \nTatiana Johnson-Boria (she/her) is the author of Nocturne in Joy (2023)\, winner of the 2024 Julia Ward Howe Book Prize in Poetry.

Tatiana is a 2017 Pushcart Prize nominee\, teaches at GrubStreet\, and has been on faculty at Emerson College\, among other institutions. Her work appears or is forthcoming in The Academy of American Poets\, Ploughshares\, Kenyon Review Online\, and more.
