Don't miss this deep dive into the life and legacy of one of the most provocative and important cartoonists of the 20th century. Best known for iconic creations like Zap Comix, Mr. Natural, and Fritz the Cat, Robert Crumb revolutionized the medium with his deeply personal, often controversial work that explored taboo topics, cultural anxieties, and the darker corners of the American psyche. As a founding figure of the underground comix movement, his influence can still be felt across graphic novels, contemporary art, and pop culture at large.

Play | Political Playwrighting Competition: Vote for Your Favorite
The "Uncivilized Civics" theater slam invites attendees to enjoy several short , political plays. Then, the audience gets to vote for their favorite! All pieces are directed by Valerie Adami Juhlin and Peter Burford. The Plays:
Don’t Jump the Gun by James C. Ferguson: How hard could it have been to put together the Bill of Rights, really?
SPINIT, TWISTIT, and LIE by Cary Pepper: Will Spinit is a senior partner in Spinit, Twistit, and Lie, Washington media consultants supreme. Congressman Rightman isn’t sure he can stay in Congress because he has a problem — he’s suffering a crisis of conscience. But Spinit knows he can help Rightman get rid of that… thing. Because it’s business as usual in Washington and at Spinit, Twistit, and Lie.
The Ward by William Ivor Fowkes: Shortly before the presidential election of 2016, two stroke victims wake up and learn the latest news about the campaign.
Chicken Little by David L. Williams: As the sky has begun to quite literally fall over their country, a Prime Minister and his assistant have some important choices to make.
Owl Calls an Emergency Meeting by Toby Inoue: When Owl calls an unprecedented meeting of birds to address the catastrophic effects of climate change, a solution is proposed, but it is outrageous. Or is it?
In The Beginning… by Michael Chepiga: In the Beginning takes the audience to one of the earliest meetings ever held, where two men (of course men) debate whether or not they should start something they will call “government.” Unfortunately, they decide to give it a shot.
Now… About that Vote by Lindsey Brown: It’s 1919 and we are present at a National Women’s League Committee meeting. The women are preparing a petition to take to Washington which demands the vote for women. But based on ‘rational’ arguments, which women will be eligible? Any of them? If we follow society rules, possibly none!
Agnes’s Little War by Rosemary Frisino Toohey: Do citizens have the right to judge political candidates on personal morals? An idealistic voter is threatened when she demands the return of her campaign contribution after learning of a candidate’s philandering.
