Kick off another season of Great Garden programming!   Understanding the micro processes in soils and their interaction with soil biology - microbes and roots and their associated exudates - will lead to an enhanced appreciation for how small scale improvements in soil quality will help the plants in your garden grow better.

Gaining a better understanding of the micro-processes within your garden soils will, I think make you better prepared to become a master gardener, if only of your own garden domain!    Program by David McMillan of Grasshoppers Landscaping

To conclude the 2023-24 FLC Theatre season, you will be transported to Moscow, Russia. The year is 1812. The setting - Leo Tolstoy's novel, War and Peace. Don't worry, we are not doing a musical encompassing the entirety of Tolstoy's epic work, but rather a 70-page segment, which was adapted into the Broadway hit musical, Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. Composer/lyricist Dave Malloy's adaptation focuses on "Natasha's romance with Anatole and Pierre's search for the meaning of his own life" (NY Post).    Great Comet got its start with Ars Nova in 2012. The production was directed by Rachel Chavkin and featured show creator Dave Malloy as Pierre. It then transferred to NYC's Meatpacking District the following year. After favorable reviews and enthusiastic word-of-mouth, the immersive production was mounted in a tent erected in the Manhattan Theater District before eventually making its way up to Broadway in 2016. The Imperial Theatre production starred Josh Groban and Denée Benton and received twelve Tony Award nominations. The show has gone on to play in professional and university theatres internationally to great acclaim.   Great Comet will honor the original immersive spirit of the show with the company using the entire theatre as its stage. This will be the Four Corners premiere of this unique show, and one you will not want to miss.   Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 features a cast of twenty including Harrison Wendt as Pierre and Katelyn Bowie as Natasha. The production is directed by Michael E. McKelvey and choreographed by Suzy DiSanto. Great Comet will also feature a live ten-piece orchestra under the baton of Dr. Wesley Dunnagan. The remainder of the creative team includes set and lighting designer James Padilla, costume designer Megan Sander, and sound designer Logan Roybal.

Special Guest TBA  $18 / $20 / 21+   Harry Springer may compose, produce and perform all of Moon Walker's music in his bedroom, but the electrifying and uniquely eclectic sound undeniably feels more fitting for a stadium.   When Springer formed Moon Walker at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic, he was merely looking for a way to pass time and make some extra money selling songs to music libraries. "I sold some, and it was going fine, but then I wrote some songs, and I was like, 'I really don't want to give these ones away." Those songs that Springer just couldn't part with ended up becoming his critically acclaimed debut record Truth to Power. Thanks to sudden viral success on TikTok and praise from the likes of The Darkness's Justin Hawkins, the 7-track album quickly established Moon Walker as one of rock's most promising acts. Less than a year later, Springer released with his sophomore effort The Attack of Mirrors with great fanfare and coverage, resulting in 25 million streams across platforms in 2022. In 2023, Moon Walker continued the hos streak; signing to a co-publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Limited-Edition Publishing. releasing his third album "Apocalypticism" on October 20th, and going out on his first tour playing shows across the country with sellouts in Chicago, Nashville, Denver, and Columbus.

Colorado Pint Day is a time-honored tradition that has reached cult-level status with beer lovers flocking to participating breweries every year to purchase Colorado Pint Day limited edition glassware.   $1 of each pint glass sold will be donated to the Colorado Brewers Guild and its mission to promote, protect and propel independent craft breweries in the State of Craft Beer.   Every year Colorado Pint Day is held on a Wednesday in the spring. While the event is a fundraiser for the Colorado Brewers Guild, we also hope to encourage beer lovers to visit breweries on a day of the week that is traditionally slower, hence a Wednesday.   This year's theme for Colorado Pint Day is Spring Skiing and Pond Skimming! We want to celebrate everything that comes with spring skiing including mountains, snow, sun, and skiing in the last few weeks of spring!   Congratulations to Rhyan Montgomery from Ramblebine Brewing in Grand Junction for designing the winning artwork for 2024 Colorado Pint Day!

The San Juan Basin Archaeological Society invites the public to a presentation in the Lyceum at the Center of Southwest Studies and on Zoom on Wednesday, April 10 at 7:00 pm. At 6:30 we will have social time, then after a brief business meeting, Dr. Piyawit Moonkham, FLC visiting Archaeology Professor will discuss "Anthropology of Space and Place in the Temples in Northern Thailand.". For log-in information go to SJBAS.ORG.    This research offers a spatial point of view of the religious living space within Buddhist temples in Northern Thailand. The concept of religious space often connects to notions of sacredness and a rigid, statically oriented place that people would only utilize for specific spiritual or large-scale social activities (e.g., harvesting, natural disasters, and such), reflecting ideas that any supernatural being associated with the space should not be disturbed often and is unequal to people. However, in Northern Thailand, the temples are much more than merely such rigidly sacred places. People go to the temple for personal matters, ask for blessings, exchange goods, consult about personal matters, gather for social events, and the like. These phenomena reflect a balanced, engaged, and horizontal relationship between the community and their sacred place, highlighting a hybridized version of a cosmological worldview and communal living religious space.   Piyawit is an anthropological archaeologist with broad research interests in community-based archaeology, spatial analysis, ecology, and cultural heritages. His research is focused on spatial layout of sites (particularly Southeast Asia) and interaction of local social worldview with spaces (he employed GIS analysis in this work. His research utilizes spatial analyses to understand and assess communal, social, and religious spaces, sociopolitical interactions, pre-and post-colonial ideologies, plants use and heritage management of pre-modern and historical sites. His regional focus is on Mainland Southeast Asia, mainly Northern Thailand, where he is from, and Laos. His research on indigenous spatial patterns and social and religious worldviews has significant implications for understanding the sociopolitical landscape of pre-state and historical societies in Mainland Southeast Asia. My recent publications in TRaNS: Trans Regional-and National Studies of Southeast Asia, International Journal of Historical Archaeology, and in Journal of Anthropological Archaeology elucidates how local social worldviews interact with the spatial layout of Buddhist temples in Chiang Sean, Northern Thailand, particularly how it may reflect changing concepts of social and religious spaces and shed light on the importance of heterarchy and their social worldview.

Pine River Library is one of many groups in 79 countries across the world that host Death Cafés. A Death Cafe is a time and place where people come to share food, drink tea or coffee, and discuss death openly and honestly. The aim is to increase awareness about death in order to help people make the most of their (finite) lives. There is never an intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action. A Death Café is not a bereavement support or grief counseling setting, nor is it a place to give people information about death and dying. It is not for people who, for whatever reason, are unwilling to discuss the subject of death comfortably and openly. Interesting conversations are guaranteed! These events are facilitated by Lola Montano, a registered nurse who is pursuing her hospice certification and is interested in becoming a death doula.    Join us every third Tuesday of the month from 1-2:30 pm.

Twenty-five years ago Joel and Ethan Coen released a quirky comedy about a slacker living in Los Angeles with a love for bowling and a taste for White Russians that was destined to become a cult classic film. With a genius script and an ensemble cast of unforgettably eccentric characters, from bowling nemesis Jesus Quintana played by John Turturro, and a pair of inept hitmen performed by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare, to The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges and even a roving gang of nihilists. This amazing cast which also includes iconic performances by John Goodman, Juliane Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, "The Big Lebowski" has become a defining work by the Coen brothers.

A Death Cafe is a time and place where people come to share food, drink tea or coffee, and discuss death openly and honestly. The aim is to increase awareness about death in order to help people make the most of their (finite) lives. There is never an intention of leading participants to any conclusion, product or course of action. A Death Café is not a bereavement support or grief counseling setting, nor is it a place to give people information about death and dying. It is not for people who, for whatever reason, are unwilling to discuss the subject of death comfortably and openly. Interesting conversations are guaranteed! These events are facilitated by Lola Montano, a registered nurse who is pursuing her hospice certification and is interested in becoming a death doula.    Join us every fourth Monday of the month from 4-5:30 pm.

The author of the New York Times bestseller Nowhere for Very Long continues her story with this deeply honest, moving account of a woman walking the line between independence and isolation when she moves to the Southwest desert with nothing and no one but her four dogs.   In her debut memoir, Nowhere for Very Long, Brianna Madia reflected on her life as a nomad, free to roam some of the most beautiful land in America. Now, in Never Leave the Dogs Behind, the van life adherent faces the unfathomable darkness that comes from a life blown apart, her only solace the support of her dogs.   In the wake of a painful, public divorce and the ensuing fallout, Brianna moves from a pared-down van into a pared-down trailer. She reckons with her decision to be alone in the desert, living on a nine-acre plot of undeveloped land on the dusty outskirts of a small town in Utah, accompanied only by her four precious dogs: Bucket, Dagwood, Birdie, and Banjo. As she grapples with the anger, despair, and delicious freedom that comes from being wholly on her own, Brianna wonders where, exactly, the road less traveled has led her.   A powerful and poignant portrait of rebuilding and surviving, Never Leave the Dogs Behind is about finding the courage to start over when the dream life you thought you were living collapses around your feet.
