Map of My Kingdom

Who will inherit the land, and how will it impact your family?

Map of My Kingdom, a one-woman play written by national award-winning writer, Mary Swander, explores the real-world challenges of farmland transition. Commissioned by Practical Farmers of Iowa, the play brings to life real stories of families wrestling with inheritance, stewardship, and the legacy of the land. At the center is Angela Martin, a lawyer and mediator whose work spans families in deep conflict to those who planned ahead and avoided it. Her stories reflect the emotional and practical weight of land ownership and the difficult decisions that come with passing it on.

This compelling performance sheds light on a topic many hesitate to confront. By sharing these experiences, Map of My Kingdom encourages open conversation, early planning, and a deeper understanding of how land decisions shape families for generations.

Gary Rue, guitarist, pianist, vocalist, and composer, has penned songs recorded by artists like Helen Reddy, Nick Lowe, and Prudence Johnson, and was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 2010.

“…these [Gary Rue] songs are a clear cut above the usual…each one features at least one major-league moment, phrase or hook…” — Minneapolis Star Tribune

Randy Sabien, master of violin, guitar, mando, piano, and vocals, is a jazz virtuoso in the Stéphane Grappelli tradition, blending hot club, blues, and Western swing into a sound all his own.

“Rather than simply embellish a tune, [Sabien] re-conceives it, building and developing intriguing new musical motifs along the way…his playing couldn’t help but bring a smile to virtually every face in the room.” — The Chicago Tribune

Expect a high-energy, improvisational performance full of melodic surprises, witty commentary, and virtuoso interplay across piano, guitar, violin, mando, and soaring vocals. From classic Western swing and jazz standards to original compositions, Rue & Sabien deliver a night that’s both musically sophisticated and joyfully playful.

Magic Carpet Ride is a musical journey through one of the most electrifying and impactful times America has ever seen.

The Performance:  Immerse your senses in an electrifying video show projection accompanying a live performance of songs by The Doors ("Light My Fire"), The Byrds ("Mr. Tambourine Man"), Iron Butterfly, ("In-a-Gadda-da-Vida"), Jefferson Airplane ("White Rabbit"), Procol Harum ("A Whiter Shade of Pale"), Cream ("Sunshine of Your Love"), The Zombies ("Time of the Season"), Steppenwolf ("Born to be Wild") and Janis Joplin. ("Piece of My Heart").

The Light Show:  In the late 60s and early 70s, our lighting designer, Nautilus Music Theater's Ben Krywosz, created, designed and operated shows for many national groups at Fillmore West and other Bay area venues in San Francisco, among the musical highlights, BLUE CHEER and IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY. He also provided lighting for productions of TOMMY and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.

The light show itself is a highlight of this experience, "conjuring up swiftly changing kaleidoscopic images that ebb and flow with the music"

Behind the Scenes:
Magic Carpet Ride was conceived by Gary Rue and created in collaboration with lighting designer Ben Krywosz to bring audiences back to the days when Bay area musicians were making an impact on the social fabric of our country.

The exacting musicianship of the band is supercharged by the light show itself, what critics have called ‘the 6th member of the ensemble’.

The Accidental Hero

Saturday, April 11, 2026  7:30pm

The Accidental Hero is a multi-media one-man show about a WWII American officer who miraculously liberates the Czech villages of his grandparents. It's a true story written and performed by his grandson, Patrick Dewane.

Patrick's grandfather refused to talk about his service in the war. When he died, his basement yielded a treasure trove of typewritten accounts, photos, and rare film footage. Dewane brings this archival material to glowing life as an enthralling, humorous and heartwarming tale of miraculous escapes and astonishing coincidences. Dewane takes on a dozen different roles as he powerfully recounts his grandfather's journey from Omaha Beach, the Battle of the Bulge, and the end of WWII. In the last week of the war, Konop's story turns away from a soldier's survival tale to something from mythology. He discovers his lost identity, embraced by the tribe he never knew. Like Luke Skywalker, Konop thought he was just fighting the Evil Empire, in this case the Nazis. But unlike Skywalker, this story is true. His was an epic homecoming. As he freed the Czechs, they liberated him.
