\u2018Reunion\u2019 \u2013 Play Reading<\/b><\/p>\n

6:30PM \/ nexStage Theatre \/ Ketchum<\/p>\n

\"ReunionnexStage Theatre is excited to announce a reading of the play \u201cReunion\u201d by John Caine as part of their ongoing play reading series. The presentation will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7, and will be free of charge. The running time will be 75 minutes and complimentary wine and cookies will be served.<\/p>\n

The reading will feature two outstanding guest performers \u2013 Jane Merrow and Aaron T. Moore. Merrow was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her performance in \u201cThe Lion In Winter\u201d opposite Katharine Hepburn, Peter O\u2019Toole and Anthony Hopkins. She has appeared on stage at London\u2019s Royal Court Theater and the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. On TV she has appeared in \u201cThe Avengers,\u201d \u201cThe Saint,\u201d \u201cMission Impossible\u201d and \u201cMagnum P.I.\u201d She has optioned \u201cReunion\u201d and plans to film in Boise in 2017. Moore has numerous stage credits in Boise, where he teaches acting at Boise State University.<\/p>\n

\u201cReunion\u201d was staged in London in 2014 to critical acclaim. \u201cReunion\u201d could be the usual tale of middle-class angst: the hitherto high-flying criminal lawyer with his teacher wife and comfortable home examining where life has taken them. But for Raymond, stricken with an incurable motor neuron disease, confined to a wheelchair and unable to control more than one hand, he feels his life is over and he just wants out. He wants his Catholic wife, Antonia, to help him leave. Raymond doesn\u2019t believe in God or sin, so his decision is affected only by legal, not religious, consequences. His logical, lawyer\u2019s argument is that, if Antonia believes in a wonderful pain-free afterlife, why can\u2019t she help him reach it?<\/p>\n

Rick Bass \u2013 \u2018Hemingway & Nature\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

5:30PM \/ nexStage Theatre \/ Ketchum<\/p>\n

\"RickAs part of this year\u2019s Hemingway Festival (Sept. 8-10) The Community Library will present Rick Bass, the author of more than 20 books, for a public talk on Friday at the nexStage Theatre. Bass will address this year\u2019s theme of \u201cHemingway and Nature\u201d by focusing on hunting and on the human relationship with non-hunted nature. Tickets for Bass\u2019s keynote lecture are available now for $12 apiece at The Community Library.<\/p>\n

\u201cRick Bass is one of the most prolific and dynamic writers on nature today,\u201d said Jenny Emery Davidson, executive director of The Community Library. \u201cHis writing has been compared to Hemingway\u2019s for its strong, clear style, and he shares a passion for the landscape of the American West. He is a perfect fit for this year\u2019s theme that explores the role of nature in Hemingway\u2019s life and work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The annual Hemingway Festival of The Community Library celebrates Hemingway\u2019s life and work through lively discussions, scholarly presentations and unique exhibits of local artifacts, in order to continue to engage people with Hemingway\u2019s writing and with a landscape that he loved.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s program explores how nature permeates Hemingway\u2019s work: from the woods and lakes of northern Michigan in the Nick Adams stories, to the hot fields of Spain in \u201cThe Sun Also Rises,\u201d to the savannahs and mountains of East Africa in \u201cThe Snows of Kilimanjaro,\u201d to the seascapes of \u201cThe Old Man and the Sea.\u201d The landscapes in Hemingway\u2019s literature provide not only backdrops for the narratives but also evoke important themes. Throughout Hemingway\u2019s own life, he sought connections to wild places. The lectures, discussions, and presentations of this year\u2019s Hemingway Festival promise to stimulate deep thinking about the role of nature in Hemingway\u2019s works, as well as a deeper connection to the nature that Hemingway knew in central Idaho.<\/p>\n

Registration for the full three-day Hemingway Festival includes, in addition to the Rick Bass keynote lecture, an insiders\u2019 tour of Hemingway artifacts and oral histories at the Sun Valley Museum of History, presentations by Hemingway scholars and group discussions of short works. The cost for the full Festival is $60. More information is available online at www.comlib.org\/the-2016-ernest-hemingway-festival.
