After a few quiet weeks around the holidays, winter is always a remarkably busy time at the theater as we prepare for Mission Creek Festival (full disclosure: I am a co-founder but many people have their hands in making this event work). This year marks the tenth installment of Mission Creek Festival in Iowa City, and we at the Englert are proud to be the producer of the festival. The lineup often reminds me of the programmatic vision that drives my work at the theater: to present the known and unknown side-by-side, to find a balance between the traditional and the experimental, to be reminded of a familiar feeling and to be rewarded by a new experience. Indeed, part of my job is to bring old favorites like Joan Baez, hot new bands like Lake Street Dive, or an institution of comedy like The Second City.

    OPERA COMES TO IOWA CITY 80 HOURS.

Jeff Danielson, D- Cedar Falls, called on Republican presidential-nomination candi- dates to disclose the names of their campaigns’ major fundrais- ers, according to a press release from the Iowa Democratic Party. The two contended that a public knowledge of bundlers — as the major fundraisers are known — is in the interest of Iowans. “If the Republican candidates for president aren’t forthcoming about who exactly is helping them to get elected, how can we know for sure that those same people won’t be calling in favors if their candidate wins election to the White House,” Dvorsky said at the conference. Dvorsky also stressed trans- parency and accountability as a reason for naming bundlers. President Obama recently made public his major contributors, according to the release, having done the same for his 2008 cam- paign. Danielson said at the conference he was shocked that no Republican candidate had not yet volunteered the disclosure of her or his major fundraisers. — by Ariana Witt Palin to hit Iowa in September Former Alaska Gov.

While this historic building has been in Iowa City for 102 years, the nonprofit that runs it —The Englert Civic Theatre—opened its doors in 2004. Since then, it has been a riveting journey towards becoming a key member of the Corridor’s cultural community. We are both proud and deeply thankful that we’ve been able to do so much since we reopened. Our road to the Englert of the present and the future began when a collection of dedicated citizens stepped up and said, “We need the Englert to be part of our community.” What followed was a long and rigorous campaign that led to the renovation of our historic site and involved efforts from various arms of our community, including granting organizations, Andre Perry, Executive Director Corridor businesses, and passionate individuals. A decade before the age of Kickstarter, it was the first major crowdfunding arts campaign to hit Iowa City. As we celebrate 10 years of our nonprofit and the vibrant culture in our surrounding community, our driving inspiration is the theme of gratitude. Thank you for supporting us.
