Delivering what the New York Times deemed "the subliminal potency of music, the head-scratching surprise of a modernist poem, and the cockeyed allure of a surrealist painting," Tony-nominated playwright Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice enjoys a November 7 through 10 staging by the University of Dubuque’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts, the Times adding that the genre-spanning show is a "devastatingly lovely – and just plain devastating – theatrical gloss on the Orpheus myth."

Appearing in a pair of relaxed, 45-minute public events as a guest in Quad City Arts' Visiting Artists Series, renowned pianist, composer, actress, and author Robin Spielberg hosts respective presentations in Rock Island and Muscatine on November 5 and 7, this lauded Steinway artist and founding member of the Atlantic Theatre Company also a national celebrity artist spokesperson for the American Music Therapy Association.

Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as a work that "makes an exquisite case for the impossibility of caging the heart," the award-winning Austrian drama Great Freedom enjoys a November 7 screening at Davenport's Figge Art Museum, director/co-writer Sebastian Meise's moving film also praised by The Hollywood Reporter as "a contemplative psychological study of the effects of incarceration, and beyond that, an unconventional love story, tender but unsentimental."

Their top-10 Billboard smashes including "Hey Now," "Astounded," "Down and Out," and the chart-topping "Breakdown," the rockers of Tantric headline a November 3 concert event at Davenport's Redstone Room, the group currently composed of lead guitarist Chris Loree, bass player Eric Warner, drummer Jon Loree, and lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and band co-founder Hugo Ferreira.
