Local pet celebrity Pepper wiggled her way to rehearsals for "Our Voices: Stories of Our Local LGBT+ Community." With her wagging tail and bright eyes, Pepper brought a bundle of support and endless love to the cast.

About the Show "Our Voices: Stories of Our Local LGBTQ+ Community," directed by Gene Guenther, originated from a University course led by UW-Green Bay Associate Prof. Kimberley Reilly and archivist Deb Anderson. The course aimed to preserve the history of Northeastern Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ community. Students conducted oral history interviews, analyzed local publications, mapped Green Bay bars, and researched LGBTQ+ artists. This readers-theatre event, produced with The Canary Project, brings some of these stories to life.

Now that you know the cast let's get back to talking about some more of the people that they will be portraying. Today we are going to be talking about two artists from Wisconsin. The first works in paint and canvas and the second in wood, stone, and earth. Georgia O'Keeffe was originally from, Sun Prairie, WI, broke all the rules and was an advocate for herself. She wanted to paint how she wanted to paint and wasn't going to have her instructors teach her "their way."

Frank Lloyd Write also designed on his own terms. His was the "prairie style." One of his most famous homes, The Taliesen, is one of the most famous examples. Speaking of Taliesen, do you know about the murders that happened there? Come hear about this, and so much more with these two Wisconsin artists.

Come to The Dead Celebrity Monologues and hear their stories.
