In the mid-70’s, James Szalapski captured lightning in a bottle, a fleeting moment in music history. Namely, the birth of Outlaw Country Music, heralding a new, close-knit generation of renegade musicians, inspired by Willie and Waylon.
Typically, they gathered at Guy and Susanna Clark’s home in Nashville or at Townes van Zandt’s trailer in Austin, to play each other’s songs deep into the night. Turning their backs on the corporate establishment, they formed a soulful community prizing personal, beaautifully crafted songwriting above all else. Resolute romantic poets, they chose their own path.
Buried for 25 years, Heartworn Highways is now revered as a classic, seminal work that offers a rare, unfiltered look into the lives of the artists who shaped and redefined the genre. As photographed by Szalapski, the camera becomes an unseen guest, roaming casually beyond social borders, bringing us into another world of American roots music exposing its open heart and gritty innocence.
Featuring: Guy Clark, Townes van Zandt, David Allen Coe, Rodney Crowell, Larry Jon Wilson, Steve Young, Gamble Rogers, Charlie Daniels Band, Steve Earle… and their many friends.
Katie and Delaney, inseparable since childhood, find their paths diverging in their 30s. While Katie is happily living with her boyfriend, Delaney is single with a roommate. Despite these differences, their friendship is still a top priority, and they’ve always been the most important person in each other’s lives. That is, until Katie’s boyfriend proposes. To soften the blow, Katie plans a nostalgic trip to their childhood beach town, intending to break the news softly. But the trip takes (many) unexpected turns as Katie and Delaney try to work out what it means to be adult best friends. [120 min; comedy; English]
This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Delaney Buffett, a writer and director from Florida.
Through performances of highly arranged traditional tunes, coupled with original compositions that draw from both folkloric & modern sources, the quartet explores the traditional and contemporary global music scene and emphasizes how global influences and technology are shaping soundscapes and influencing music.

CHEAP THRILLS follows Craig, a struggling family man who loses his low-wage job and is threatened with eviction. In an effort to delay facing the music at home, he heads to a local bar and encounters an old friend (Ethan Embry, EMPIRE RECORDS). The two friends are roped into a round of drinks by a charismatic and obscenely wealthy stranger along with his mysterious wife. The couple engages the two friends in a series of innocent dares in exchange for money over the course of the evening, with each challenge upping the ante in both reward and boundaries. It seems like easy and much needed money, but the couple’s twisted sense of humor pushes just how far Craig and his friend are willing to go for money and cheap thrills.
Each comedian is asked to do no more than five minutes of completely original material. While we do not care about foul language in your set, we do not allow racist, homophobic, transphobic or rape/female bashing jokes. If you have to ask if it’s racist, homophobic, transphobic or a rape joke, it probably is.
Comedians that wish to participate are asked to e-mail [email protected]. Newcomers and any participants who are not paid professionals will be required to bring audience members to see them. This is non-negotiable. So if you plan on signing up, be sure to invite as many friends as you can. Good luck!

Animal Hour is an opportunity to talk with our animal exhibits staff directly to learn about WonderLab’s animal ambassadors and what it takes to care for animals from around the world.

You love it or you hate it— and we argue that mindset is so limiting. Life is more exciting when you try new things, and food is a lovely avenue for this practice. Forget grandma’s tuna salad, we’re trying Spanish, Scandinavian and Washington based seafare, from muscles and oysters to trout, sardines and mackerel. What they’ve got in common is that they come in cutesy little tins, packed in the highest quality olive oils with herbs, peppers, and spices. On toast or crackers, in salad, or tossed into pasta, tinned fish is versatile, trending and sustainable. We encourage you to come try some with us during this open-house tasting event.
Tasting event hosted by Ava with recipe handouts and interspersed lectures. Come dine with us anytime from 6:00-8:30.

The Wylie House Museum may have one of the oldest ginkgo trees in Indiana. Nicknamed “the living fossil,” the ginkgo tree species dates to 245 to 66 million years ago, which means trees like the one at the Wylie House would have coexisted with the dinosaurs here on Earth. 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.
These events are open to the public, with no registration or experience required (though we appreciate advance notice for groups of 5+ people).

In early-1970s Framingham, Massachusetts, taciturn family man James (Josh O’Connor) makes the rash, largely inscrutable decision to orchestrate a heist at the local art museum, absconding with a selection of modern paintings—without much of a plan. This autumnal, restrained, and often quite funny anti-thriller from Kelly Reichardt (Showing Up, NYFF60) sets this low-key criminal enterprise against a Nixon-era backdrop of alienation and political disillusionment. As always, Reichardt’s impeccable craft is front and center: the film’s naturalism and remarkable period detail creating a portrait of unerring authenticity and psychological mystery. Whether driven by social apathy or artistic passion, James—effortlessly played by O’Connor with hangdog elegance—registers as a compelling update of the ’70s American male loner archetype for another dispiriting, directionless time.
Nick Shoulders will visit the WFHB studio for a Firehouse Session at 4pm today.
