planned. The Oak Street Cinema is serving up a scoop of music sprinkled
with a generous helping of video and an after party on top. Start the evening off with Music That Moves, a collection of
the best music videos and music documentaries produced by
our very own "fearless filmmakers." Veterans such as
Chuck Statler, Rick Fuller, and Phil Harder will lead the way with
notable artists, such as Dan Wilson (Semisonic), The Owls, and an exclusive
look behind the scenes at one of the greatest hair bands
of all time. But the fun doesn’t stop there. After enjoying
music on the screen, change things up a bit and enjoy some live music
at the Kitty Cat Klub. Fearless Filmmakers is hosting an after
party at the Klub and each Music That Moves patron gets a FREE drink!

Move With Words
If you’re more of a thinker than a shaker, put on your beret and get out your megaphone because the Guthrie is offering another class for you. Professional actor Mark Rosenwinkel will be teaching a workshop called Play, Write: Intro to Playwriting. During this one and a half hour class, you will learn how to harness your ideas and translate them to the page. You will also learn how your ideas might take shape on the stage. Sure, Diablo Cody can have that Oscar, but let this be your first step toward that Tony. —Kate Leibfried
