When Heidi Schreck wrote What the Constitution Means to Me, she gave us a gift—a raw, intimate exploration of how our foundational document shapes our lives, our bodies, and our futures. When we are able to bring this into a community, this play becomes more than a performance; it’s a conversation—a reckoning.

Performance in The Edge Theatre. Tickets at the Door: Pay what you like - Suggested $10

Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed, and stars in the comedy "The Great Dictator" (1940), a smash hit at a time in the USA when WWII had broken out in Europe and, in the United States, seemed increasingly possible.  Charlie plays "Adenoid Hynkel," a parody of Adolf Hitler, and comedian Jack Oakie struts around as "Benzino Hapaloni," who is a much overplayed imitation of Mussolini.  Join us for a lively presentation of this movie, along with light refreshments, at The Edge Center Theatre in Bigfork, MN - FREE admission!

Forests to Savannas: The Taxidermy of Jeff Elich
