Vintage Corset Biography
The latest issue of “American Craft” magazine, published by the American Craft Council, the national nonprofit based in Minneapolis, pays tribute to the enormous influence American potter Warren MacKenzie has had on others who practice the craft of clay. In brief but illuminating statements, 15 of his protégés including Maren Kloppmann, Jeff Oestreich, Michael Simon, Dick Cooter, Mike Norman, Mark Pharis and Guillermo Cuellar explain what their relationship with MacKenzie has meant to them. Each is a testament to what good teachers do: guide without forcing, help when help is needed, demand integrity, let people find their own creative selves. Take a look, and be sure to see the photo gallery.
On Monday (Nov. 24), St. Paul will officially co-name the section of Franklin between Berry and Eustis Ave. “Dave Ray Street.” The late bluesman was born in St. Paul; Franklin & Berry was the location of the insurance business he took over from his father. Ray was a member of the Twin Cities folk blues trio Koerner, Ray & Glover. Red House recently issued a 3-CD retrospective of his career, “Legacy,” with extensive notes by Glover. The naming ceremony happens at 1 p.m., if you want to stop by.
The Picks
Tonight at Maple Island Brewing in Stillwater: Doug Hennes presents “That Great Heart,” his biography of I.A. O’Shaughnessy. The 13th child of a Stillwater bootmaker, O’Shaughnessy became the largest independent oil refiner and the largest benefactor of Catholic higher education in the United States. Hennes is the vice president for university and government relations at the University of St. Thomas, where four buildings are named O’Shaughnessy. 7 p.m. Free.
Tonight through Saturday at the Southern: Only a Dim Image Dessert Theatre presents “The Philadelphia Story.” Calyssa Hall directs Phillip Barry’s classic play, which led to the 1940 romcom starring Cary Grant, Kate Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart. 7:30 p.m. FMI and tickets ($23 adults, $18 students; includes dessert). Ends Saturday, Nov. 22.
Saturday at Northrop: The 53rd Annual Marching Band Indoor Concert. Nothing warms the blood like a marching band, especially if you don’t have to sit outside to hear it. This program packs a double whammy: the magnificence of the new Northrop and the fantastic sound, precision, and enthusiasm of the Pride of Minnesota, a 120-year-old organization whose members come from all majors and disciplines within the U. (They commit over 500 hours each semester to the band. No wonder they sound so good.) Tim Diem, Craig Kirchhoff, and Jerry Luckhardt conduct a program of half-time favorites and other rousers including “Hail! Minnesota,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and “The Star-Spangled Banner.” 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. FMI and tickets ($20–$30).
Opens Saturday at History Theatre: “Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story.” Nicholas Freeman is the hiccuppy Holly in a part-bio, part-rock-concert play about his life. Alan Janes’ play, a History Theatre favorite, follows Holly’s brief career from rebellious country singer to the day the music died. A collaboration with McNally Smith College of Music, with dancers from the St. Paul Conservatory of Performing Artists, the show features 24 hit songs (“Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be the Day”) and a live band. 8 p.m. FMI and tickets ($25–$45, students $15, 18 and under $10). Through Dec. 21.
Monday at the Guthrie: Leo Kottke. The great fingerpicker’s traditional Thanksgiving-week concert draws top musicians to hear one of their own. Kottke’s career spans more than 40 years and 40 albums including his legendary 1969 debut “12 String Blues.” Here’s a set he performed at the City Winery in New York earlier this year. He’ll have a bit more room on the Guthrie’s main stage, but you can expect similar warm, crowd-pleasing banter and virtuoso playing. Nellie McKay opens, which is also pretty terrific. Doors at 7 p.m., music at 7:30. FMI and tickets ($39 and $44).
