Join us! Come by any time between 2 and 6 on Saturday, September 21 to see our new entry and exterior, visit our New Media Gallery, sit in Tina Hoggatt's Story Chairs, hear stories and poems from our Jack Straw Writers and students, and catch a performance from one of our resident artists. Throughout the day we will present folk fiddler Paul Anastasio with guitarist Elena DeLisle, Brazilian choro ensemble ChoroLoco, composer/French horn player Tom Varner's original jazz compositions, and the foot-stomping Eastern European folk sounds of Alchymeia! You can also visit our Studio 2 Story Booth throughout the day and record a story. Share your memories of Jack Straw, the University District, or anything else. Your story will be saved in our archives and we'll email a copy to you! "
