Girls’ Night Out | Dinner Theater Presented by Warroad Summer Theatre
A “whodunnit” dinner theater coming to RiverPlace this fall!
Four women, on their way to an evening at the theater, stop for dinner at the establishment owned by the ex-husband of one of them. Between the salad and entree, he ends up dead. Each has a reason to wish him dead; perhaps one did more than wish. Perhaps it was one of the other guests. Only unwinding the plot will tell which one is the murderer.
Girls' Night Out will have three different endings, so come more than once for a new experience each time!

Inktober Kickoff Class
What is Inktober, you may ask? It’s an art challenge that takes place every October, encouraging artists of all levels to create one ink drawing each day. Started in 2009 by Jake Parker to help improve drawing skills and build creative habits, Inktober has grown into a worldwide movement that celebrates daily drawing.
Whether you’re a detailed illustrator, a casual doodler, or brand new to drawing, this is your chance to jump in! In our kickoff session, you’ll learn more about the challenge, get inspired, and receive a starter kit that includes a sketchbook, pencils, erasers, pigment pens, and the daily prompt list.
And the fun doesn’t stop there—join us every Wednesday from 5:30–6:30 for open drawing time in the classroom, where you can create, share your work, and connect with fellow artists. Let’s kick off Inktober together and make this month one full of creativity and new friendships!

Gallery Exhibit: An Indigenous Artist’s Journey Through Leather, Beadwork, and Portraiture by Cindy Godin Hamilton
A life of ever-evolving, creative expression followed a transformational journey of ancestral homecoming for Ojibwe artist Cindy Godin Hamilton (Williams, Minnesota).

An Indigenous Artist’s Journey is an opportunity to celebrate the power of Indigenous art and to experience the diverse ways in which culture, history, and individual expression intertwine, inviting viewers to appreciate the artist's unique vision and voice.

Weaving stories from their lives, the artists invite gallery visitors to tell their own as they interact with this unique combination of pieces designed to nourish both body and soul.
