Winner! 1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
“…the greatest American play ever written.” – Edward Albee

The Stage Manager guides audiences through a small New England town in the early 1900s, as its inhabitants grow up, get married and discover the beauty of life. Life was simpler then, to be sure. But Wilder’s Our Town is more, much more, than a nostalgic look at an earlier time, for Grover’s Corner is also our own town, our own life. With poetic beauty and simplicity, Our Town illuminates the powerful bonds that hold communities together through everyday life and moments of crisis. With humor, wit, and exceptionally powerful storytelling, Wilder delivers universal truths about what it means to be human and encourages us to live life to its fullest.

The Market’s intimate warehouse venue is located at the Anderson Arts Center in downtown Anderson, next to the Anderson Farmer’s Market.

If it had not been for Anna Akhmatova and Nadezhda Mandelstam, the poet Osip Mandelstam would perhaps have been wholly forgotten. To save Mandelstam from oblivion, Anna and Nadezhda memorized his poems or hid away whatever copies they could.

The mind, apparently, was one of the only safe places left during Stalin’s regime in early twentieth century Russia. Finally fed up with Mandelstam’s dissenting poems, Stalin exiled him, sending him to his death. All that was left of him was what remained in the minds of his wife Nadezhda and friends such as Anna or stashed away in secret places.

“What is poetry’s role when the world is burning?” Christian Wiman asked almost 90 years later. Both Wiman and Mandelstam found refuge in poetry through intense times of exile. For Mandelstam, the terror was Stalin’s ego. For Wiman, it was a life-threatening cancer.

Why, when life got so difficult, would these two men devote so much to poetry? And, though we may not face political exile or life-threatening illness, should we do the same?

Over the course of 4 weeks, we’ll discuss 6 themes of poetry in exile. Through a close reading of Wiman’s and Mandelstam’s poetry, and by bringing them into conversation with a handful of other poets and theologians, we’ll discover the power of poetry in life’s darkest times.

SOLD OUT

Once a month, we set a long table down the middle of the store, invite an author to town and put on a literary supper like no other. After-hours, up-close and personal, these dinners are unique experiences designed to bring what we’re reading off the page and onto the plate. Seats are limited, and the ticket price includes a four-course dinner, a thoughtful beverage pairing, a copy of the book and an evening’s conversation with the writer in question.

We’re excited to host author Snowden Wright for his brand-new novel, American Pop. It’s the story of a preeminent American family spoken about in the same breath as the Hearsts and the Rockefellers whose wealth relies on a soda empire. An irresistible tour de force of original storytelling, American Pop blends fact and fiction, the mundane and the mythical, and utilizes techniques of historical reportage to capture how, in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s words, “families are always rising and falling in America,” and to explore the many ways in which nostalgia can manipulate cultural memory—and the stories we choose to tell about ourselves.

Chefs Heidi and Joe Trull will be here from Grits and Groceries, and they will craft a menu that reflects the elements of the story, complete with cocktails and wine. Grits and Groceries never disappoints, and when we team them up with Snowden, we’re sure this will be night to remember.

Here’s what’s planned for the evening:

First Course:
Ginger Ale Salad, from the Junior League of Jackson, Mississippi Cookbook (and you know those ladies know how to make a salad out of soda pop)

Second Course:
Slow Braised Pork Shank, with fennel and white beans (in the style of French cassoulet.)

Dessert:
Ebinger’s Black Out Cake, devil’s food filled with dark chocolate pudding, chocolate frosting and chocolate crumbs. (From Brooklyn’s Ebinger’s Bakery, a secret recipe with a cult-like following in its day.)

Tickets are $95 and include beer, wine, cocktails, dinner, and a copy of American Pop signed by the author.

Tim Keller, pastor of New York’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church and New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God, has taught and counseled students, young professionals, and senior leaders on the subject of work and calling for more than thirty years. Now he puts his insights into a book for readers everywhere, giving biblical perspectives on such pressing questions as:

What is the purpose of work?

How can I find meaning and serve customers in a cutthroat, bottom-line-oriented workplace?

How can I use my skills in a vocation that has meaning and purpose?

Can I stay true to my values and still advance in my field?

How do I make the difficult choices that must be made in the course of a successful career?

With deep insight and often surprising advice, Keller shows readers that biblical wisdom is immensely relevant to our questions about our work. In fact, the Christian view of work—that we work to serve others, not ourselves—can provide the foundation of a thriving professional and balanced personal life. Keller shows how excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion in the workplace can help others and even be considered acts of worship—not just of self-interest.
