Why New Farmer U?
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/new-farmer-u-indiana-tickets-1657041197829
Farming means wearing many hats—including that of an entrepreneur and business owner. Understanding the ins and outs of financial planning, marketing, and business management is key to making your farm thrive.
New Farmer U is a two-day training and gathering designed to help small and mid-scale farmers with 2–6 years of experience develop these skills while connecting with peers and exploring creative ways to manage their operations.
This event is all about practical learning and real-world strategies. Expect farmer-to-farmer conversations, interactive workshops, small group discussions, and plenty of time to connect over shared meals and campfires.

The Wylie House Museum may have one of the oldest ginkgo trees in Indiana.

Come preserve your own piece of arbor history by exploring the unique features of the trees around the Wylie House and getting creative with waxing leaves.

Soul on Fire is based on the true story of John O’Leary, who at age nine suffered burns on 100% of his body. The movie chronicles his miraculous survival and his journey of healing, relying on family, faith, and community. It highlights his decision to live with purpose after the accident.
Synopsis: An international arthouse sensation that launched the “cinéma du look,” an explosion of visually stunning, punk-inspired, super-cool French movies in the ‘80s, Diva follows a young postman who becomes entranced with the voice of an American opera superstar and secretly records her singing. When the tape accidentally gets mixed up with another incriminating recording, the young mail carrier becomes a prime target, being chased across Paris–most famously on moped–by drug dealers, ruthless music pirates, and a slew of cops.

Three time BMA nominee’s The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band are “the greatest front-porch blues band in the world”. They are led by Reverend Peyton, who most consider to be the premier finger picker playing today. He has earned a reputation as both a singularly compelling performer and a persuasive evangelist for the rootsy, country blues styles that captured his imagination early in life and inspired him and his band to make pilgrimages to Clarksdale, Mississippi to study under such blues masters as T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and David “Honeyboy” Edwards.
Sarah Jacobson was admired in the independent film scene of the 1990s for her adamantly self-starting approach: with the help of her mother, she financed, distributed, and marketed her films completely outside of the film industry’s corporate structure. These films tackle the coming-of-age genre with a radical politics and a raw DIY approach. [125 min; comedy, drama; English]
I Was a Teenage Serial Killer (1993): Mary has killed 19 men, one for every year she’s been alive, and she shows little interest in stopping. This explosive send-up of the coming-of-age story is delightfully raucous and fueled by a cathartic release of pent-up anger.
Mary Jane’s Not a Virgin Anymore (1996): Mary Jane’s Not a Virgin Anymore is punk rock’s response to the Hollywood teen romance. Shot on Super-8 and made for just $12,000, Sarah Jacobson’s only feature film fully embraces her lo-fi, no budget aesthetic.
Presented in partnership with the Media School.
Yearning is back! Burlesque show hosted and produced by Faggedy Ann.
Dance Party at 11.

Georgia O’Keeffe is widely revered as the “Mother of American Modernism” and the greatest woman artist of the 20th century. In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by her lover, Alfred Stieglitz, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, living in her beloved New Mexico, she emerged as an iconic role model for American women. This feature documentary film stars Claire Danes as the voice of Georgia O’Keeffe with narration by Hugh Dancy. [118 min; documentary; English]

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton took the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton—inspired by the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow—and created a revolutionary moment in theatre with a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.

Presented by Traveling University (https://www.travelinguniv.org/about)
In this two-part series, Tim Londergan and Steve Vigdor, Professors Emeritus of Physics, will present the basic science behind global warming and climate change . The presentation will emphasize empirical data rather than complex climate models. They will discuss short-term impacts of climate change that are already being felt, and long-term concerns about potential irreversible changes to Earth systems. They will then outline steps that could be taken to mitigate the most severe impacts of climate change, if the civic will to do so can be mustered. Questions and comments from the audience are welcome!
The first lecture will focus on the following questions:
A. How do we know that global climate change is real, and that humans are responsible for global warming?
B. What are the short-term impacts of climate change?
Synopsis: Deadpan, small-time Kosher Nostra member and ex-con Harry Plotnick (Martin Priest) is just released from prison and trying to regain his lost turf in a neighborhood turned topsy-turvy. After a chance reunion with his ex-wife and grown children, Harry is suddenly immersed in middle-class normality and goes meshugga when he gets into the catering biz with his ex-brother-in-law (Ben Lang). What follows is a world of call girls, bar mitzvahs, lingerie fashion shows, Cuban-Chinese mobsters, subway parties, Mafia barbecues, dog training classes, Congressional hearings, and hotel pajama parties. Shelved by writer/director Roemer in 1969 following a laugh-less preview, THE PLOT AGAINST HARRY emerged two decades later when he overheard a technician performing a video transfer of the film laughing hysterically. On a whim, Roemer made two 35mm prints and sent them to the New York and Toronto Film Festivals (it was a hit with audiences), before releasing theatrically to great acclaim in early 1990 as a bona fide comedy classic.

Joshua Redman acknowledges that the title of his new Blue Note album, Words Fall Short, could be viewed ironically. His previous and widely acclaimed Where Are We was his first to pair a vocalist with one of his many monumental Quartets; yet Words Fall Short is anything but a comment on the saxophonist’s last triumph. More accurately, his latest offering is an organic next step, a collection of previously unheard originals brought to life by inspiring new collaborators. “It’s impossible for me to will a project into being,” he says of the wide-ranging adventures he has embarked upon in what is now his fourth decade as a recording artist. “This album came out of a working environment that inspired me to dig into compositions that hadn’t found a home yet.”
The process began as the first leg of Redman’s Where Are We Tour concluded and pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Joe Sanders, and drummer Brian Blade each left to honor other commitments.
In building a new rhythm section, Redman found himself drawn to younger players he had recently encountered. Bassist Philip Norris and drummer Nazir Ebo came aboard first, and Redman quickly knew he had made the right moves. “Not since Christian McBride can I recall experiencing an acoustic jazz bassist who seemingly has it all together at such a young age,” he says of Norris, “and Nazir has groove in spades, a groove that is super-flexible, in the flow of the moment and with an innate sense of architecture that always serves the song.” By summer of 2023, pianist Paul Cornish had completed the quartet’s transformation. “Paul is the perfect balance of empath and contrarian, challenging everyone to break away from the established patterns, while still always making the music feel good and natural in the moment.”
As the new quartet performed steadily over the next several months, Redman felt a vibe developing, one brought to fruition by a stack of music the saxcaphonist created during the pandemic.

Shane Mauss caught his first big breaks early in his career with appearances on Conan, Comedy Central, HBO, and Showtime. He’s done comedy specials about animal mating behavior, the evolution of moods, and early next year releases the most spectacular work of his career – an epic two-part comedy special about psychedelics.
“Trips” part 1
“Trips” part 2
Driven by a fascination with the psychology, behavior, decision making, and science’s unique lens on the human condition, Shane began interviewing scientists at universities in the towns where he performed—just as a hobby. That curiosity snowballed into Here We Are, a podcast with over 400 scientist interviews, and a series of themed comedy shows that take ambitious ideas and make them hilarious, relatable, and accessible for the lifelong learner.
