LANNAN FOUNDATION PRESENTS:

Readings and Conversations: Teju Cole with Amitav Kumar
February 3, 2016
Lensic Performing Art Center 
Teju Cole, writer, art historian, photographer and photography critic of The New York Times Magazine, is the author of the novella Every Day is For the Theif named a book of the year by The New York Times. Of his novel Open City, Time Magazine said, “A powerful and unnerving inquiry into the human soul. Cole has earned flattering comparisons to literary heavyweights like J.M. Coetzee, W.G. Sebald and Henry James, but Open City merits higher praise: it’s a profoundly original work, intellectually stimulating and possessing of a style both engaging and seductive.”

AMP CONCERTS PRESENTS:
The Second City Touring Company
February 12, 2016 - 7:30PM
Lenses Performing Arts Center
Chicago's legendary Improv Comedy troupe returns to Santa Fe with their ode to Valentines Day: "Hooking Up with The Second City." The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December of 1959. No one could have guessed that this small cabaret theatre would become the most influential and prolific comedy theatre in the world. With its roots in the improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City developed an entirely unique way of creating and performing comedy. Founded by Spolin’s son, Paul Sills, along with Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City was experimental and unconventional in its approach to both theatre and comedy. At a time when mother-in-law jokes were more the fashion, The Second City railed against the conformist culture with scenes that spoke to a younger generation. Past Second City Comedian include Alan Alda, Dan Akroyd, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler – to name a few.

Hyde Park Road has a few locations, including Aspen Vista. Gentler slopes may be found at Black Canyon (a few hundred yards below Hyde Park hill ). Farther up N.M. 475 is the Big Tesuque picnic area.
