Winterfest Weekend Concert

Mary Mack’s endearing, slightly quirky stage presence and musical surprises make her popular with a wide range of people. With her mandolin in hand and off-kilter stories of life as a former polka band leader, music teacher, and all-around confused individual, Mary delivers a one-of-a-kind performance that is sure to make you laugh. Mary’s mandolin sing-alongs have been featured on national radio and television, including appearances on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham and NBC’s Last Comic Standing. After starting her entertainment career in Nashville, Mack currently tours the country in her $400 Dodge Neon with her mandolin in hand. Splitting the rest of her time between Los Angeles and Minneapolis, she shares her totally fun and unique brand of stand-up comedy. It is clear this genuinely one-of-a-kind, funny woman is ready to make you laugh, and may even leave songs stuck in your head after the show has ended.

A poignant, lyrical celebration of land, love and the American immigrant experience

The Ivey Award-winning History Theatre brings its hit production of Sweet Land, the musical to Memorial Auditorium in Dawson on June 17, 2017 at 7:30pm. Follow the story of Inge Altenberg as she journeys to America to marry a bachelor farmer, sight unseen. In the wake of WWI, Inge’s German heritage turns her new neighbors against the match. Under cathedral skies, the determined young immigrant and her stoic farmer fight for their lives, facing their own misgivings and the harshness of an unforgiving land. A lyrical celebration of hard-won independence and a reflection of generations past, Sweet Land, the musical reminds us of who we are – and where we came from.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and a grant from Southwest Minnesota Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
