The secrets she uncovers there will either cure or break her lonely heart. \nEmploying extremely minimalist staging and an original form of ornate verse derived from a corruption of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass\, Song About Himself goes at the question every play asks: “Do words\, in the end\, help?” \nThe cast features Theater Oobleck ensemble member Diana Slickman\, along with Oobleck irregulars Vicki Walden and HB Ward. The play was developed in conjunction with the Goodman Theatre Playwrights Unit. It will be presented with limited seating for each night. \nPraise for Song About Himself \n“Of [Maher’s] many artful\, resonant plays\, this one has the potential to eclipse them all.” — Chicago Reader \n“Recommended… It is a rich psychological and metaphysical landscape through which to travel.” — Newcity \n“Maher crafts an engaging\, resonant online ode.” — TimeOut Chicago \n★ ★ ★ “Ultimately Maher is digging his finger around in that gaping hole of what it means to connect with another person — the wistful\, persistent desire for it\, and the technology that we’ve come to rely on to make so much of it possible.” — Chicago Tribune \nBios \nDIANA SLICKMAN is veteran of Chicago fringe theater.

On-street parking is available on Livermore Street and adjacent streets. Accessible passenger drop-off/pick-up is available via Morgan Place\, off of Livermore Street. \n \n \n \n \n \n Dust off your boots and gather around for some true and original modern honky tonk music with Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms. These two are known to roots music fans across the globe for their soulful harmonies\, driving dance tunes\, classic original songs\, and commitment to the raw truth of rural American music. They live in the San Juan Islands of Washington\, though until recently\, home was Portland\, OR. They are foundational to the exceptional old-time and country music scene in the Pacific NW with the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band and their membership in the Foghorn Stringband\, of which Caleb was a founding member. Charismatic performers\, they bring their unique set of talents to the stage with an eye towards good times and an ear towards the deepest songs and tunes. \nTheir repertoire is made up of original songs and tunes as well as gems from American roots repertoires\, and the music they make is Americana in the truest sense of the word. Music is clearly in their blood. Caleb and Reeb’s originals and interpretations of songs have been covered and recorded by many performers and their musical presence reaches into a diverse and loyal fanbase\, giving credence to the impact that this duo has on their listeners. \nSometimes we get so unnecessarily swept up in who’s rising and falling in music these days that the sheer joy of music is overlooked. One of the great things about Caleb and Reeb is that they are a world apart from all of that nonsense and let you immerse yourself in the melody and story of classic sounding country music until all other cares of life fade away. Country music is the music of working people who use it to pass the time and forget about the ever-present hardships in their lives. After years of touring together\, Reeb and Caleb work intuitively. \nThe blend of true harmonies\, the sharply-written country songs\, and the un-showy authenticity strike a rich vein that makes them seem like they are born and raised in Music City.  They quietly pursue a musical vision without much of a care for what’s expected or in vogue at the time. There’s a lot to admire in this singular perseverance and honesty.\n \n Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages URL:https://antiochcollege.edu/event/caleb-klauder-and-reeb-willms-at-the-foundry-theater/ LOCATION:Herndon Gallery\, 805 Livermore Street\, Antioch College\, South Hall\, Yellow Springs\, OH\, 45387-1683\, United States CATEGORIES:Community & Campus Events,Featured Event,Foundry Theater,Open to the Public ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://antiochcollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/JB4_7569-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260502 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260504 DTSTAMP:20250815T014452Z CREATED:20250812T174125Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250815T014452Z UID:54601-1777680000-1777852799@antiochcollege.edu SUMMARY:The Big Family Business at the Foundry Theater DESCRIPTION:The BIG FAMILY BUSINESS is at it again\, making performance art rooted in tradition but alive in the here and now.

Childhood is seen as a uniquely wonderful time in our lives.

Our holistic learning approach integrates academic subjects across the curriculum and values emotional\, physical\, and intellectual growth equally\, recognizing that all forms of intelligence are important. \nEvery Spring\, the Antioch School Older Group classroom produces a unique and original student-led musical.  This year’s production is Harry Potter and the Foundry is proud to host!

The quartet\, formed in 2010\, embraces Renaissance counterpoint\, covers composer Julius Eastman\, plays instruments specially fretted for microtonality\, and organizes its music through polyrhythmic matrices. The ingenious machinery of their music is humanized with exploration and passion. \nGuitarist Owen Gardner and saxophonist / percussionist Andrew Bernstein met in the ‘00s at Goucher College in suburban Baltimore—the former steeped in global folk musics and experimental music\, the latter a budding composer. As members of the rich Baltimore music scene\, notably the band Teeth Mountain\, they met bassist Max Eilbacher\, who has subsequently blazed a path in electroacoustic music\, and drummer Sam Haberman. \nFrom the beginning\, Horse Lords have played music defined by repetition and complexity\, often at length\, and presented it in ways that telegraph their concern with questioning social and political norms. “Conceptually\, our music is always interested in the tension between the aesthetic\, the political\, and the material domains of art\, and the political muteness of instrumental music\,” the band says. “How can we imbue wordless music with a radical political message? The whole project of Horse Lords is an attempt to answer this question\, and all of our decisions\, musical and otherwise\, are informed by it.” \n \n Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages URL:https://antiochcollege.edu/event/horse-lords-at-the-foundry-theater/ LOCATION:Foundry Theater\, 920 Corry St\, Yellow Springs\, OH\, 45387\, United States CATEGORIES:Community & Campus Events,Featured Event,Foundry Theater,Open to the Public ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://antiochcollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Horse-Lords-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260917T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260917T210000 DTSTAMP:20260819T202848Z CREATED:20260821T160002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T202848Z UID:59219-1789671600-1789678800@antiochcollege.edu SUMMARY:The Gibson Brothers with Missy Raines & Allegheny at the Foundry Theater DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “The Gibson Brothers have built their legacy upon a sound that salutes the past while still pushing forward.”\nROLLING STONE\n \n \n \n \n \n The Gibson Brothers \nThere’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The same thing that led David Ferguson and Grammy Award winning producer and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John: the Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing. And they can write a damn good country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every premier Americana label you can think of including Sugar Hill and Rounder\, and\, if that’s not enough\, their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del McCoury. It’s a resume almost anybody in country music would be proud to have. But despite all of this\, the Gibson Brothers are not yet household names. Their latest album\, “Darkest Hour\,” produced by dobro master Jerry Douglas might just change that. \nAs soon as you hear Leigh singing with Alison Krauss [“I Feel The Same Way As You”] on the new project you realize that his voice is as good as anyone in music today. Add the brother harmony to that and they have something truly unique. While “Mockingbird” featured gorgeous production\, recreating the sound on stage was difficult. “We put together a little band to go out and try to recreate it\,” Eric told me\, but we couldn’t. We would have to have such a huge band to try to recreate that record\, but we did the best we could.” \nDouglas—who has won 14 Grammy awards and backed up everyone from Ray Charles to Paul Simon and George Jones—wanted to make a record they could actually play on the road. So he picked the best songs (out of dozens) and squirreled them away in Sound Emporium’s Studio B. But then the pandemic hit. “We did our last shows in March of 2020\,” Eric told me. “We were in Nashville the week everything was shutting down. It was surreal\, but Jerry was like\, ‘Guys\, the world’s going crazy. Let’s let this be our little cocoon.’ And we did. We cut all of the acoustic stuff and then went home and didn’t play any more gigs until things started opening. Then we went back and finished the record with Jerry in February of 2021.” \nThe result is arguably the strongest record The Gibson Brothers have ever made.The songs recorded in the first recording period featured Mike Barber (bass)\, Justin Moses (mandolin)\, Eamon McGloughlin (fiddle)\, and of course\, Jerry Douglas\, adding in John Gardner (drums)\, Guthrie Trapp (electric guitar)\, and Todd Parks (bass) for the final tracks\, “Darkest Hour” showcases just how easily Eric and Leigh move from what Dan Auerbach dubbed “country soul”(“I Go Driving”) to high octane bluegrass \n(“What a Difference A Day Makes” and “Dust”) with Douglas always keeping the spotlight on the songs themselves. “That’s what I love about those guys\,” Douglas told me\, “they are just great songwriters.” \nGrowing up on a dairy farm in northern New York and then traveling around the world in a bluegrass band has given them a unique vantage point on life\, and the songs on “Darkest Hour” are a testament to that. “Jerry wanted to hear everything we’d written\,” Eric told me\, “so we just sent him songs: brand new songs\, old songs\, there’s stuff on that record 20 years old that we never recorded. We wanted to see what he would do with us as singer-songwriters. We respect him that much. Some of my favorite records are Jerry Douglas produced records. He didn’t disappoint.” \nIf the Gibson Brothers had stayed in Nashville in 1999 they might possibly be Grand Ole Opry members by now. At the very least they would be hit songwriters on Music Row. But\, just like their buddy Del McCoury\, they chose family over success (McCoury was in his 50s when he moved to Nashville and didn’t really see major success until he was approaching 60).All they need is someone to shine a light on them. Their talent level is well-established\, the only producers they have ever worked with are Ricky Skaggs\, Dan Auerbach\, David Ferguson and Jerry Douglas. I dare say not many musicians can stack up a list of producers that strong. For the Gibson Brothers though\, they just want to keep writing\, singing\, and standing on a stage.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Missy Raines and Allegheny \nAllegheny is Ben Garnett on guitar\, Eli Gilbert on banjo\, Ellie Hakanson on fiddle\, and Tristan Scroggins on mandolin. The band is named for the Allegheny highlands of West Virginia where Raines grew up. This band is a significant nod to her deep traditional bluegrass roots. The music is traditional and hard-driving at its core but energized with Raines’ well-known penchant for originality and innovation. \n“I grew up in West Virginia\, just a few miles from the historic C&O Canal\, the headwaters of the Potomac River\, and the Maryland and Pennsylvania state lines. Geographically\, it was a pretty straight shot down ‘out of the hills’ to the Washington DC\, Baltimore\, and northern Virginia areas and my family would travel there as much as possible to hear all the incredible bluegrass that was being made there during the 60’s and the 70’s. Washington\, D.C. was a hotbed of bluegrass (both traditional and progressive) at the time with bands like Bob Paisley & Ted Lundy\, Del McCoury and the Dixie Pals\, the Country Gentlemen\, and the Seldom Scene. All of that music affected me deeply then and today I’m having the time of life letting those influences shine through with this band\, Allegheny.” \n \n Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages URL:https://antiochcollege.edu/event/the-gibson-brothers-with-missy-raines-alleghany-at-the-foundry-theater/ LOCATION:Foundry Theater\, 920 Corry St\, Yellow Springs\, OH\, 45387\, United States CATEGORIES:Community & Campus Events,Featured Event,Foundry Theater,Open to the Public ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://antiochcollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Gibson-Brothers.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260925T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260925T210000 DTSTAMP:20260821T202649Z CREATED:20260821T160050Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260821T202649Z UID:59443-1790362800-1790370000@antiochcollege.edu SUMMARY:The Yellow Springs Speaker Series presents An Evening with Holly Near at the Foundry Theater DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Yellow Springs Speaker Series presents An Evening with Holly Near: Stories\, Songs and a Time to Gather \nThe Yellow Springs Speaker Series supported by the World House Choir and Mad River Theater Works is proud to present Holly Near in conversation with the stories and songs that speak to the experiences of her powerful body of work.  We hope you can join us!\n \n\nHolly Near has been singing for a more equitable world for well over 40 creative years.

Although they grew up on opposite sides of the country\, Riley in Seattle\, Washington\, and Vivian in Lexington\, Virginia\, the two had an instant musical connection upon meeting in 2018. The pair has been collaborating since then\, honing their sound playing hundreds of shows across the US\, UK\, and Canada. Since 2018\, they’ve recorded and released multiple albums to critical acclaim from the likes of NPR Music\, Rolling Stone\, and No Depression\, and have garnered nearly six million streams on Spotify. A bittersweet nostalgia lies at the heart of Imaginary People\, the new album from Viv & Riley\, released September 15\, 2023 on Free Dirt Records. Over ten tracks\, the pair applies an indie roots sheen to newly composed pop gems. Rooted originally in the folk tradition\, the pair reframe the production into experimental territory\, crafting songs that speak to finding a path forward into adulthood in an uncertain world. The album brings a reflectiveness to summertime jams that speak of uninhibited joy and creative camaraderie.  \nBased out of Durham\, North Carolina\, they’ve tapped into the area’s eclectic and collaborative music scene\, recruiting Alex Bingham of Hiss Golden Messenger to produce the album. Bingham brings a sunny\, lush sound to Viv & Riley’s music\, moving beyond their earlier country roots and toward a layered sound and sonic experimentation. The songwriting has evolved as well\, from the world-weary\, stripped-down country songs they’re known for to indie songwriting at turns sweetly sad and gently sardonic. Ultimately\, Imaginary People is about carrying and honoring our pasts\, about letting that inform our new steps forward. This balancing act is familiar territory for Viv & Riley\, who also play in The Onlies\, an award winning old time stringband that Riley co-founded in Seattle at age 7. In that role\, they serve as co-artistic directors of The Festival of American Fiddle Tunes.

The one we were born into is slipping away\, reshaped and denuded by human action. What remains is the question of what we will carry forward\, and the manner in which we refuse to surrender ourselves. Will Oldham’s new album\, We Are Together Again\, feels like an answer to these questions. In Oldham’s songs – and in the circle of others who’ve gathered beneath the name Bonnie “Prince” Billy on this endeavor – friendship\, community\, and the stubborn joy of making art with others become a means of persistence. This isn’t to say that the record is a denial of collapse\, which would be delusion\, so much as that models defiance by remaining fully human\, fully joyful\, in a world with a diminishing horizon… I’m talking about Oldham’s record\, to be sure\, but I think the answers he suggests in We Are Together Again speak to the only meaningful choices any of us can make at this point in all of the agonizing everything.  \nYou can hear it in “Life Is Scary Horses\,” when Oldham concedes\, “The human times have come and gone.  We must accept our rule is done\, though love is sown and will live on. Come to me\, let me see your eyes once more before the winter comes again.” The song modulates from minor to major in tone\, almost sunny. This could read as irony\, but to my ear it’s something closer to grace. That’s the spirit running through We Are Together Again: not denial\, but fragile endurance and thankfulness for the moments we have. \n“Friend Named Joe” and “Davey Dead” form the emotional heart of the record. In the former\, Oldham sings “And when it feels like life is just a series of delusions\, Joe can show that\, even though it all feels like illusion\, it’s real; and yesterday bears no resemblance to tomorrow. You fly towards death so full of life and love and joy and sorrow.” And in the latter\, “If you destroy a child’s perspective\, here’s what that child will do: be faced with unrelenting trial and render terror back at you.”  \nThe album begins and ends with “Why is the Lion” and “Bride of the Lion\,” which serve as thesis and conclusion\, offering an invocation that seems to float above the rest of the work: “Hope of something beginning to rise from the floor of the ring…is it my voice\, or\, better yet\, ours?” A melody cleaning the world\, “scouring the filth from the light.” That’s what the album sounds like: people trying\, not to fix anything\, but to keep the light clear long enough to recognize each other in it. \nThe feeling of community is earned honestly since We Are Together Again is as much as gathering as a record or a statement. The studio becomes a meeting ground\, a small republic of sound. Oldham’s friends\, colleagues and even family— including — Tory Fisher\, Lacey Guthrie\, Katie Peabody\, Catherine Irwin\, Sally Timms\, Maggie Halfman\, Nuala Kennedy\, Ned Oldham\, Thomas Deakin\, Jacob Duncan and Erin Hill  – lend their voices\, turning solitude into shared witness. \nA sense of human beauty runs through everything here. Each voice remains distinct\, yet folds into something larger. We Are Together Again doesn’t resolve fear; it meets it with harmony. It’s a record about the stubborn miracle of accompaniment. It’s about how we keep asking\, and how\, so long as there are voices to ask together\, the asking itself becomes a kind of hope. \n \n Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages URL:https://antiochcollege.edu/event/an-evening-w-bonnie-prince-billy-at-the-foundry-theater/ LOCATION:Foundry Theater\, 920 Corry St\, Yellow Springs\, OH\, 45387\, United States CATEGORIES:Community & Campus Events,Featured Event,Foundry Theater,Open to the Public ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://antiochcollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/bonnie-prince-billy-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270114T210000 DTSTAMP:20260824T165537Z CREATED:20260824T165533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T165537Z UID:59780-1799953200-1799960400@antiochcollege.edu SUMMARY:Yellow Springs Speaker Series presents Hasan Jeffries: "Defending Democracy: Public Libraries\, Public Schools\, and Public History" at the Foundry Theater DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n HASAN KWAME JEFFRIESHasan Kwame Jeffries teaches\, researches\, and writes about the African American experience from a historical perspective. \nHe has chronicled the civil rights movement in the ten-episode Audible Originals series “Great Figures of the Civil Rights Movement\,” and has told the remarkable story of the original Black Panther Party in Bloody Lowndes: Civil Rights and Black Power in Alabama’s Black Belt\, which has been praised as “the book historians of the black freedom movement have been waiting for.” \nHasan has collaborated on several public history projects\, including serving as the lead scholar and primary scriptwriter for the $27 million redesign of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis\, Tennessee\, the site of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. He currently serves as the chairperson of the Board of Directors of The Montpelier Foundation\, which stewards the Virginia estate of James Madison\, the fourth president of the United States and the architect of the Constitution. \nHasan regularly shares his expertise on African American history and contemporary Black politics through public lectures\, op-eds\, and interviews with print\, radio\, and television news outlets\, including the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Los Angeles Times\, NPR\, CNN\, and MSNBC. \nHe has also contributed to several documentary film projects as an historical advisor and featured on-camera scholar\, including the 2023 documentaries Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World (PBS) and Lowndes County and the Road to Black Power (NBC/Peacock).

Ramo Teder is a multi-instrumentalist and has been known for his long solo project Pastacas. He is also a looping pioneer in Estonia and has mastered these skills for twenty years already. Marko Veisson has a background in anthropology and his fieldwork in Northern Ghana as well as his love for West-African music have definitely influenced Puuluup’s style. \nThey play their own compositions on Talharpas – a traditional bowed lyre\, popular in Northern Europe since the early Middle Ages and played on Western Estonian islands until the beginning of 20th century. Puuluup directs the vibrations of Talharpa’s horsehair strings through effect blocks and looper\, uses alternative bowing and drumming techniques and sounds. The mellow sighs of talharpa are paired with electronically amplified echoes\, knocks\, creaks and crackles\, while still maintaining the instrument’s natural sound. \nThey play with music as they play with words\, sometimes creating their own language. As the band states: “We draw inspiration from Vormsi nights\, trams in November\, junkies in love\, criminals from Odessa and Antonio Vivaldi”. As a side dish\, when giving live concerts they also offer choreographic flittering which emerged on its own during the numerous days these two man spent in the rehearsal rooms. Their humor and warm charisma flows generously from the stage\, drawing the audience in. \nBecause of their unique approach to this traditional instrument Puuluup received several music awards in Estonia including the best Band\, the best Ensemble\, for the best Album. Their popularity in Estonia and abroad is rapidly growing. The band performed in Canada\, USA\, China\, Chile\, France\, Germany\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Portugal\, Macedonia\, Hungary\, Slovenia\, Ukraine\, Taiwan among others. \nLineup:Ramo Teder – talharpa\, vocal\, looper and effects pedalsMarko Veisson – talharpa\, vocal\, effects pedal board \nPuuluup about themselves:Two men in midlife crisis who have decided to start living rock & roll lifestyle with the help of their instruments\, talharpas. \nWhat inspires them:All kinds of random sources of inspiration are similarly important for their music – unexpected excerpts from Polish TV series\, old Estonian punk\, klezmer\, African gospel\, Sahel music\, hip-hop\, Antonio Vivaldi even R&B\, even windmills and wires forgotten in the car… \nWho inspires them:Buena Vista Social Club – they make them feel still rather young and give hope that they have a long career ahead. \nTheir performance:The lyrics are to set the mood. Mostly they are rather abstract and are open to different interpretations. Puuluup always wear black suits on the stage which may mean that they are taking themselves very seriously. \n \n Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages URL:https://antiochcollege.edu/event/puuluup-at-the-foundry-theater/ LOCATION:Foundry Theater\, 920 Corry St\, Yellow Springs\, OH\, 45387\, United States CATEGORIES:Community & Campus Events,Featured Event,Foundry Theater,Open to the Public ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://antiochcollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Puuluup_2019_foto_Taavi_Arus_3-768x485-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270303T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270303T210000 DTSTAMP:20260819T204550Z CREATED:20260821T160013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T204550Z UID:59291-1804100400-1804107600@antiochcollege.edu SUMMARY:Antonio Lizana at the Foundry Theater DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n \n Season Ticket Packages\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n From Andalusia to New York and beyond\, Antonio Lizana is one of the most celebrated representatives of new Flamenco Jazz to come out of southern Spain.
