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:After the Flames: Uncovering Notre Dame’s Secrets
DESCRIPTION:“When the spire fell\, the world wept. But in the ashes\, Notre Dame began to speak.” \nIn April 2019\, the fire that engulfed Notre Dame Cathedral stunned millions around the world. Yet\, as the smoke cleared\, a new chapter began—one of revelation and rediscovery. Renowned art historian Caroline Bruzelius\, a leading voice in Gothic architecture and consultant to the cathedral’s reconstruction\, goes behind the scaffolding and beneath the stones of Paris’s most iconic monument to explore discoveries made possible only by the fire and its aftermath. Bruzelius reveals how catastrophe opened a window into the secrets of the Middle Ages. \nThis event\, hosted by the UNO Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program in Bootstrapper Hall of the Thompson Alumni Center\, is free and open to the public\, with free parking available with registration. Click here to register. \nEvent sponsored by UNO History Department\, Art & Art History\, & the College of Arts & Sciences. \nCaroline Bruzelius is the Anne M. Cogan Professor of Art\, Art History\, and Visual Studies at Duke University. She is a member of the American Philosophical Society\, The American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries\, London\, and the Medieval Academy of America. Her field of research is Gothic architecture\, urbanism and medieval sculpture in France and Italy.

SUMMARY:Not Too Far Distant - Arnold
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with educational events for local students and a Veteran’s Day program at 9:30 a.m. on November 11th\, the play “Not Too Far Distant” will be presented at 6 p.m. on November 10 at Arnold Public Schools\, with Blixt Foundation staff and local veterans hosting an open house prior to and following the Monday night performance. Local historical military memorabilia will also be on display during the two-day event. \n“It’s almost unbelievable that anyone could be hardened to the point of doing the brutal things they did. …” \nA young man from the Midwest is sent to war\, carrying with him the hopes of the free world. What Staff Sergeant Clarence Williams encounters there challenges and changes humanity forever. History touches the present when a new generation takes a journey through time to experience World War II alongside Clarence himself. Centered around his personal letters home\, we learn that sometimes what seems so far away is much closer than we think. Filled with hope and heart\, Not Too Far Distant honors the experience of the American soldier and reminds us that we all have the power — and the responsibility —  to help create a brighter future. \n

SUMMARY:Exploring Japanese History and Culture in Nebraska VETERANS HOME AUDIENCE ONLY
DESCRIPTION:Curated discussion on the play “Momotaro: The Peach Boy of Japan” with Courtney Cairncross led by Vickie Sakurada Schaepler. \nThis event is for an invited audience only. \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.
