Ibsen Fest is here

Large crowds are in Lanesboro today for Ibsen Fest 2013.

The role of women in Ibsen is today's theme. Great lecture this morning by Astrid Saether. The Tarantella on tap after lunch.

There are two displays in the lobby featuring women's costumes and jewelry (Janis Martin, Liz Bucheit). Both are cool. One features large photos of Commonweal actors adorned with Liz's silver work. Photos by Ethan of the apprentice company. Visit the Commonweal for a schedule
