DESCRIPTION:Free Event  |  Family Day presented by Children’s Wisconsin\nMucca Pazza is an interdisciplinary instrumental music ensemble from Chicago. They have made a name for themselves playing alarmingly danceable music composed and arranged by band members especially for their implausible instrumentation – original music which defies classification.  \nIn addition to blaring trumpets\, slithering saxophones\, clarinets\, trombones\, and tubas\, the band boasts a drumline that seems to share a single nervous system\, an entire section of disparate instruments that don’t belong anywhere near a marching band (electric guitars\, accordion\, violin\, and yes\, a cello)\, and contains within its multitudes a cheer squad that performs absurdist cheers and asymmetrical\, impressively low-to-the-ground pyramids.  \nNo one has ever been completely certain of the exact number of people in Mucca Pazza. Everyone can be completely certain that this group of weirdos belongs together! Mucca Pazza: embracing the absurd! in solidarity with the improbable. \nStay tuned to MPAC Socials for any weather updates that may impact the event. \nSchedule of Family Day presented by Children’s Wisconsin:\n3:00 – 6:00 PM – Kid Boogie Down Dance Party + Henna Tattoos\n3:00 – 7:00 PM – Soul Spin – Spin Art MKE\n3:30 – 6:30 PM – Diana’s Snazy Face Painting\n4:00 – 6:00 PM – Bubbles Playtime\n6:30 – 8:00 PM – Mucca Pazza Performance in Peck Pavilion \nAll Day FUN\nElysian Arcs by Atelier Sisu\nInflatable Slide and Bounce Houses\nGiant Lawn Games\nRainbow Piano – BE the art! \nFood & Beverages\nSazama’s River Edge Patio serving Saz’s Festival Favorites and Beverages\nFood trucks starting at 3:00 PM: Cocina Filipina | Pineapple Cafe | El Sazon | Marco Pollo | Juan Roasting | Shake Shack

The play serves as a powerful testament to the interconnectedness of Black women\, portraying their voices as instruments of empowerment and transformation. Through the poetic mosaic of individual narratives\, it highlights the significance of Black women as a 'third place' for each other—a sanctuary where shared stories\, sorrows\, and joys converge to forge bonds of solidarity. In their collective strength\, these women not only navigate the complexities of their lives but also spark movements\, amplifying the potency of their voices to ignite change\, resilience\, and unyielding hope. Ntozake Shange (1948-2018) was one of America’s greatest writers – an acknowledged master in the genres of drama\, fiction\, memoir and poetry. In a hugely prolific career\, Shange wrote 15 plays\, 19 poetry collections\, 6 novels\, 5 children’s books\, 3 collections of essays\, and a memoir called Lost in Language & Sound. Her theatre piece for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf (dubbed a “choreopoem” for its highly original combination of music\, poetry and dance) was a stunning success on Broadway in 1976-1977. Considered a landmark not just in American theatre but also in theatre worldwide\, it won an Obie while still off-Broadway at the Public Theater. for colored girls… has been performed continuously since then both in the United States and abroad\, has remained in print since its publication in 1974\, and was made into a movie by Tyler Perry in 2010. for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf is presented with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel Frency\, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com  About: THE REALNESS: A BREAK BEAT PLAY By Idris Goodwin Directed by Denzel Taylor Performance Dates:  August 8 – 11\, 15 – 18\, 22 – 25 | 7:30pm\, Todd Wehr Theater\, Marcus Center 1996 is an incredible time to be a hip-hop fan\, so the moment T. O. escapes the suburbs\, he plunges into the scene\, eager to experience the culture for himself. It doesn't get much more real than Prima\, a super-dope MC supporting her family\, and the moment he meets her\, T. O. falls madly in love. But when he becomes tangled in the lies he tells to get closer to her\, he's forced to ask himself: is he after real love\, or fulfilling a middle-class fantasy of rap? Idris Goodwin takes on tough questions of authenticity and class collision with humor\, heart\, and killer rhymes in a coming-of-age tale set to the beat of hip-hop history. Idris Goodwin is a multiple award-winning playwright\, breakbeat poet\, content creator and arts champion. A 2021 United States Artist Fellow\, Goodwin is recognized as a culture bearer who celebrates community values and cultivates histories with care. Idris is the author of over 60 original plays ranging from his Hip-Hop inspired breakbeat series to historical dramas to works for young audiences. Titles such as And In This Corner Cassius Clay\, How We Got On\, Hype Man: A Break Beat Play\, This is Modern Art\, and the ground-breaking Free  Play: open source scripts for an antiracist tomorrow\, are widely produced across the country by a diverse mix of professional theaters\, academic environments\, and non-traditional spaces alike. Goodwin’s created original content for and/or appeared on Nickelodeon\, HBO Def Poetry\, Sesame Street\, NPR\, BBC Radio\, and the Discovery Channel. “Your House is Not Just A House\,” his first picture book\, will be published by Harper Collins in 2024.  Passionate about cultivating new audiences in the arts\, Idris served as Executive Director of The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College (the first Black man to hold the position in its 100-year history).
