"Master's Study" by Dyani White Hawk (courtesy of the Tweed Museum of Art)

The hounds start the new year by spreading the word about a Minneapolis theater company interpreting a Disney musical, a Duluth exhibition that places traditional American Indian art and culture in a modern context, and a Mexican restaurant in Roseville that's become a weekend hangout for improv comedy.

Laurie Pape Hadley is expecting a visionary interpretation of the Disney musical 

 from Theater Latte Da. "Aida" hits the Pantages Theater stage beginning Thursday, Jan. 3 in preview performances. Laurie works as an 'audio describer,' describing the visual elements of performances for visually impaired people.



For Huge Theater co-founder Jill Bernard, living the dream is spending a Saturday night at Ol' Mexico restaurant in Roseville drinking margaritas, eating quesadillas and watching 

! The improv troupe takes over the back room of Ol' Mexico every Saturday night at 7:30.





The Tweed Museum has asked five contemporary American Indian artists to respond to pieces from the Tweed's extensive, highly respected Native American art collection. The exhibition is called 

"Encoded: Traditional Patterns/a Contemporary Response."

 The result, according to Duluth independent curator and arts educator Peter Spooner, is a provocative conversation about the links between past and present native culture. The show will be up through March 17.
