Past Events

Have you ever wondered what an archivist does, or how they care for old, sometimes priceless artifacts and documents? Have you ever thought about what entertainment looked like before the movies? Or what a famous author’s earliest attempts at writing were like?

We're pairing with our local wine bar, On the Brix, to bring you a special early autumn afternoon on the prairie!

Dr. Kelsey Squire will share methods of teaching Cather as framed in her new book, "Willa Cather: The Critical Conversation."

Brother and sister duo Kathleen Lohr and Rick Rasmussen present a unique view of Central Nebraska through portraiture and picture in "Plain Views: Pastel and Photography."

Join us as Dr. Reynolds discusses his new book, "Sensing Willa Cather: The Writer and the Body in Transition."

In this musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale brought to life by local students, Sleeping Beauty pricks her finger only to wake up five hundred years later in a rock ‘n roll dream.

Join us for a very special performance featuring area children in this exciting and innovative collaboration with Blixt Locally Grown and The Valley Child Development Center! Children will spend the week of July 12–16 at the child development center working with theater artists from Blixt, and they will share what they learned with the community at the Red Cloud Opera House on Friday, July 16 at 6:00 p.m. during a special performance.

Spend an evening with Nebraska author Chris Harding Thornton as she reads from her debut novel, Pickard County Atlas.
