The Little Red Hen is a time-tested tale about hard work and its rewards. When the hen asks for help from other animals – they say “not I.” But boy do they want to eat the cake that she bakes. This Sunset Playhouse musical remix tells the tale not once, but twice – just to make sure (with your help) the animals learn their lesson.

What’s the buzz? The first musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice for the professional stage, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR has wowed audiences for more than 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot.
Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, SUPERSTAR follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers, and the Roman Empire.
The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.”

Ljubljana Author To Visit Milwaukee on April 28th: Slovenian Migrations to America
 The University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee’s Slovenian Arts Program is pleased to sponsor a Milwaukee visit by Ljubljana author and researcher Dr. Mirjam Milharčič Hladnik for an April 28th book lecture and reception. Dr. Milharčič Hladnik is the co-author of Daring Dreams of the Future: Slovenian Mass Migrations 1870-1945. She will offer a talk on the topic and lead a discussion session afterwards. The afternoon will also feature a reception and book-signing.


The event will be held on Sunday, April 28th at 2 pm at the Polish Center of Wisconsin’s Ballroom. The Center is located at 6941 S. 68th Street in Franklin. The Counsul General of the Republic of Slovenia, Alenka Jerak, and the Slovenian Union of America National President Joe Valencic will both join us in Milwaukee that day. During a reception following her talk, guests will be able to visit an extensive visual display of Slovenian achievements in the U.S., provided by the Slovenian Union of America. 
The Daring Dreams book chronicles the migration of nearly one-third of the population of today’s Slovenia, an exodus who permanently settled in coun­tries around the world. Some traveled back and forth, searching for work to ensure the survival of the family members left behind at home and the prosperity for the families and communities they were creating abroad. From one of the smallest nations in Europe, barely reaching one and a half million inhabitants at the time, people departed in numbers reaching 440,000. This book tells their stories about the “daring dreams of the future,” as the Slovenian poet Oton Župančič—whose words open the book—so beautifully put it. In their new communities, they built homes, churches, and cultural institutions that have survived to the present.
Dr. Milharčič Hladnik is a researcher at the Slovenian Migration Institute of the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Ljubljana and a professor at the University of Nova Gorica. Her research interests include hu­man rights and migrant integration, gender inequalities, and Slovenian women migrants, as well as interdisciplinary approaches and innovative methodologies.
Mirjam is a passionate researcher of “the documents of life”, ranging from oral histories to analyses of correspondence and autobiographic texts. She is the editor of From Slovenia to Egypt: Aleksandrinke's trans-Mediterranean domestic workers' migration (2015) and the editor (with Jernej Mlekuž) of Going places: Slovenian Women's Stories on Migration (2014). She wrote the screenplay for the documentary film 100% Slovenian
(2005) and is Editor-in-Chief of the academic journal Dve domovini/Two Homelands. 
The reception after the book discussion will offer Slovenian treats and wines and include the announcement of SUA Branch #43’s annual service awards.
