Presented by Intramusic Theatricals Based on the book by Jeff Brown, Flat Stanley is the story of an average boy who is squashed flat by a falling bulletin board.

In a whirlwind musical travelogue, he’s stamped, posted and cancelled from South Africa to Mexico, from Russia to England to China and beyond. And wherever Stanley goes, he meets new friends, learns about different cultures and closes in on his goal of being a three-dimensional boy once more. Best for ages 5-11. “Flat Stanley, the world-famous paper doll, is a two-dimensional Forrest Gump, thanks to student fans around the globe.” The Los Angeles Times

Garrison Keillor
Date and Time: Wed. Oct 29, 2008 at 8:00pm
The charming, witty, and always-entertaining writer and humorist Garrison Keillor is probably best known for his widely popular radio show A Prairie Home Companion. Keillor is also a best-selling author of 12 books, including Lake Wobegon Days; Love Me; and Homegrown Democrat. Most recently, Keillor can be seen in the film adaptation of A Prairie Home Companion which was released on June 9, 2006. The film, directed by Robert Altman and with a cast including Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Lindsay Lohan, Kevin Kline, and Keillor himself, received critical acclaim. The film has renewed interest in the radio show, and Keillor remains one of the most popular American storytellers of all time. “A dry, ironic sense of humor, a good manner and a reticence to talk about personal matters are what you get with Mr. Keillor.” ~ The New York Times

The Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation proudly presents “The Art of the Cartoonist”, a lecture by Marshall Ramsey, editorial cartoonist for the Clarion Ledger. The lecture will be held Tuesday, October 28 at 7:00 p.m. in the Southern Cultural Heritage Auditorium. Admission is free along with a food donation to the Storehouse Community Food Pantry. A book signing will follow the lecture.
Ramsey, whose witty, intelligent cartoons make readers laugh, think and fume, will speak about his favorite cartoons and explain the stories behind them.
“I learned a long time ago that if you can laugh at the bad things in life, you will stay sane,” says Ramsey. “That is what I try to do with my work – laugh at the truly ridiculous.”
Marshall Ramsey is the editorial cartoonist for The Clarion-Ledger. He is a two-time Pulitzer finalist and is nationally syndicated by Copley News Service. His cartoons have appeared in USA Today, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, The Chicago Tribune, and The New York Times.
Ramsey is a 1991 graduate of The University of Tennessee. His collegiate cartoons won the John Locher Memorial Award, the top prize awarded to college editorial cartoonists. He has also illustrated several books, including six children’s books for financial expert Dave Ramsey and one for chef and author Robert St. John.
